Introducing Jackson and Charvel's Signature Models with SLEEP TOKEN, A Milestone Collaboration

Jackson and Charvel Collaborate with SLEEP TOKEN for Unique Signature Models

In a groundbreaking partnership, Jackson and Charvel have announced the release of two signature models in collaboration with the renowned UK alternative rock and heavy metal band, SLEEP TOKEN. The instruments, namely the Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC and Charvel Sleep Token III Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass V, are designed to encapsulate the distinctive sound associated with SLEEP TOKEN, reflecting their genre-defying music style.

Innovations for Unique Sounds

These signature models represent an exploration of avant-garde sound, tailored specifically for SLEEP TOKEN members IV (guitarist) and III (bassist). Justin Noble, Chief Product Officer of Fender's guitar division, shared insights into the design's mission: to shape the sound identity of the band with excellence. With the incorporation of advanced technology, both instruments are crafted to offer players unlimited sound possibilities.

IV's guitar, a critical component to SLEEP TOKEN's sound with its monstrous riffs, is backed by a 30-inch scale and utilizes standard one-octave-down tuning. This design is enhanced by the Evertune® 6 bridge, which guarantees stability in tuning even at the lowest frequencies. The Fishman® Fluence® Open Core Classic humbucker round out the guitar, ensuring every musical nuance is captured perfectly.

On the other hand, the bass guitar crafted for III is similarly engineered for optimal performance, utilizing a poplar body that resonates with power. III's signature model features Fishman® Fluence® Soapbar pickups, and a unique 3-way mini toggle switch allows players to toggle between three distinct voicings. The multi-scale fan frets provide an outstanding intonation well-suited for heavy and melodic musical lines.

A Visual and Auditory Experience

SLEEP TOKEN's tight-knit combination of heavy guitar riffs, cinematic pop soundscapes, and ethereal textures finds a tangible reflection in these new instruments, further signifying the band's impact on heavy music. Their rapidly growing fan base appreciates how their sound continually challenges and redefines expectations in the music world.
