Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter Signature Series 9-String Pickup Set

Legendary Deftones Guitarist Collabs with Fishman Fluence

Stephen Carpenter, renowned guitarist of the hard rock/heavy metal band Deftones, boasts an illustrious profile in the music industry. Stephen's Fluence Signature Series Humbuckers have undergone a significant transformation with a new and reimagined voicing across a range of 6 to 9-string options, while retaining the unique and exclusive glow-in-the-dark Fluence accent line. Utilizing the revolutionary Fluence Core, Fishman has enhanced Stephen's precious model by introducing a distinctive Voice 3 to each pickup. This innovation offers an authentic crystal clear single-coil tone, seamlessly integrated with the two beloved voices that Stephen has come to love.

3 Voice Alnico

All musicality, power, and explosiveness of alnico. Full chords and fluid solos, plus a voice you've never heard in a humbucker. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with a ceramic bridge pickup.

• Voice 1 - Modern Active High Output: The ideal active alnico sound. Full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics
• Voice 2 - Crisp, Clean, & Fluid: The clean, crisp neck humbucker tone you've always wanted without the thin, plinky sound you don't
• Voice 3 - Ideal Single Coil: Glassy, scooped, hi-fi

3-Voice Ceramic

Cutting ceramic attack. Brutal active aggression and passive punch in the same guitar. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with alnico neck.

• Voice 1 - Stephen's Active High Output: The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl
• Voice 2 - Stephen's Passive Attack: Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response
• Voice 3 - Ideal Single Coil: Cutting, overwound single coil
