ESP Stephen Carpenter Custom Shop Guitar for Charity

100% of the proceeds to be donated to The MusicCares Relief Fund PLUS another $5,000 matched by ESP

In an effort to help raise money for MusiCares Fund, ESP is offering this incredible guitar for the very first time. Built by our luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan for Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter in April 2005, it’s an ESP Horizon Custom in black finish with Pearloid binding. The 6-string, 25.5” scale, neck-thru-body guitar, played and personally autographed by Stef himself, has a three pickup configuration including one Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Humbucker in the bridge, an ESP LH-200 in the middle position, and a direct-mount ESP SS-120 slanted single coil in the neck. It also offers a graphite nut, Gotoh tuners, and a Gotoh tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru-body design.  
The guitar will include a copy of the original ESP Custom Shop order form, ESP hardshell case, signed 8x10, 3 picks from Steph and a signed certificate of authenticity from ESP
 
Perhaps most importantly, the ESP Guitar Company will contribute an additional $5,000 for a total of $10,000 in total to the Recording Academy’s MusiCares Relief Fund. MusiCares offers assistance to people in the music community, offering services and resources that cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies. The MusiCares Relief Fund is being supported by companies including Amazon Music, Spotify, Sirius XM, Universal Music Group, Tidal, and many others, as well as through individual donations from people like you.    
 Thank you from all of us at ESP for checking out this very special guitar and our desire to contribute to this very worthy cause.
