Like what you see? All photos are of the exact instrument you will receive. This guitar was a customer return with some very light scratches on the cover of the neck pickup (no scratches in the guitar finish) and a small bump on the corner of the hard case. We have included close-up photos so you can take a look!

For over 25 years, Stephen Carpenter of Deftones has been credited for exploring his own textures with the guitar, and, in the process, becoming one of the foundations of the alternative metal musical genre. His LTD Signature Series SC-608B allows musicians of all kinds to take advantage of the extended range of an 8-string guitar.

It’s a neck-thru-body design at 27” baritone scale with a mahogany body, maple neck, and 24-fret ebony fingerboard. Its Fishman Fluence® SRC Signature active pickup set has multiple voicings; use the push-pull control on the volume knob to select the one you want. On the middle alnico pickup, push down for “Modern Active” tone or pull up for “Modern Passive Attack”. On the bridge ceramic pickup, push down for “Modern Passive Attack” or pull up for “Modern Active” voicing. This model utilizes a standard 9V battery.
