Sleep Token<\/a> bassist III and guitarist IV now have their own signature Jackson and Charvel guitar models.<\/p>\n

The Fender-owned US manufacturers have unveiled the Charvel Pro Mod San-Dimas Bass V and the Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC, modelled on the specs used by the masked pop-metal players.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The bass is on sale for \u00a31,399, $1,599.99 US and \u20ac1,649, while the guitar is available for \u00a31,949, $2,199.99 USD and \u20ac2,299. Fender say that the instruments \u201care built to the exact specifications of Sleep Token\u2019s guitarist and bassist, capturing their genre-defying and mystifying sound\u201d.<\/p>\n

Justin Norvell, Chief Product Officer at Fender, comments: \u201cSleep Token\u2019s sonic and visual identity is so distinctive, and the Jackson and Charvel signature models are a huge part of shaping that sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese instruments let players tap directly into that tone: the Jackson features a whole-octave-down tuning paired with an EverTune 6 bridge for rock-solid stability in that low register, while the Charvel is a five-string bass built with custom Fishman pickups for added clarity and punch in the mix.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for artists who redefine what a signature instrument can be, and Sleep Token does exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The masked UK band have showcased the model\u2019s capabilities by releasing a new, instrumental version of Vore, a single from their 2023 breakthrough album, Take Me Back To Eden<\/a>. Watch and listen below.<\/p>\n

Fronted by anonymous singer \u2018Vessel\u2019 and formed in 2016, Sleep Token are one of the fastest-rising bands in heavy metal<\/a> history. After their first two albums, 2019\u2019s Sundowning and 2021\u2019s This Place Will Become Your Tomb, were modest commercial successes, they found widespread fame on TikTok by releasing a string of singles in early 2023. They played their first arena show, at London\u2019s Wembley Arena, the following December.<\/p>\n

In May 2025, the band released their fourth album, Even In Arcadia, which charted number one in the UK, the US and multiple other markets. The following month, they headlined the UK\u2019s largest rock festival, Download, to an estimated 80,000 people.<\/p>\n

Despite the commercial success, Sleep Token\u2019s music has been fiercely polarising. Even In Arcadia was met with mixed reviews, ranging from four stars out of five in Metal Hammer<\/a> to 2.3 out of 10 in Pitchfork. Ben Beaumont-Thomas, music editor of The Guardian, called their material \u201csome of the most profoundly turgid music ever made\u201d.<\/p>\n

In June last year, God Forbid and ex-Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle penned a Metal Hammer op-ed<\/a> defending the four-piece. He wrote: \u201cSleep Token\u2019s crime is not their artistic choices; it\u2019s the audacity to become the most popular rock act on earth with those choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
