The ESP Guitar Company

Deftones, the respected alt-metal band that features longtime ESP player Stephen Carpenter, is hitting the road. The band announced that in between other scheduled dates, they've added their own headlining tour this May.

Stephen Carpenter is well known as an ESP player, and in addition to some amazing custom guitars of his own, has a range of Signature Series guitars in both ESP and LTD versions. Stephen has been one of the most influential proponents of extended range guitars; his own models often incorporate seven-string and eight-string desings, along with baritone scale lengths.
