Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) has announced the first-ever signature collaboration with globally acclaimed metal phenomenon Sleep Token, introducing the Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC and Charvel Sleep Token III Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass V.
Designed to the exact specifications of Sleep Token guitarist IV and bassist III, the new instruments aim to capture the band’s distinctive blend of crushing heaviness, cinematic atmosphere and genre-defying experimentation.
With a rapidly growing global following and platinum hits including “The Summoning,” Sleep Token have continued to push the boundaries of modern heavy music, combining djent-inspired riffs with pop atmospheres and haunting R&B textures.
“Sleep Token’s sonic and visual identity is so distinctive, and the Jackson and Charvel signature models are a huge part of shaping that sound,” said Justin Norvell, Chief Product Officer, Fender Guitars. “These instruments let players tap directly into that tone.”

MSRP: $2,199.99 USD, £1,949 GBP, €2,299 EUR, $4,499 AUD, ¥396,000 JPY
Sleep Token guitarist and backing vocalist IV’s signature Jackson Monarkh SC has been designed specifically around his whole-octave-down tuning.
The guitar features a 30″ scale length and precision-engineered EverTune® 6 bridge with custom saddles, providing tuning stability and clarity in the instrument’s extremely low register.
A bound mahogany body with quilt maple veneer is paired with a three-piece caramelized maple set neck and compound radius pale moon ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets.
The guitar is equipped with direct-mount Fishman® Fluence® Open Core Classic humbuckers, designed to deliver everything from clean tones through to saturated leads while retaining clarity in extended low tunings.
The Monarkh SC is completed with pearloid teardrop inlays, Luminlay® side dots, a matching headstock and foam core case.
Charvel Sleep Token III Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass V
MSRP: $1,599.99 USD, £1,399 GBP, €1,649 EUR, $2,699 AUD, ¥258,500 JPY
For bassist III, Charvel has created a five-string San Dimas bass featuring a resonant poplar body, caramelized maple neck and fingerboard, and a progressive 12″-16″ compound radius with jumbo frets.
The bass features a 34.4″ to 35.5″ multi-scale fanned fret design, helping optimise string tension and intonation across all five strings while delivering the percussive attack central to III’s playing style.
Custom red Fishman® Fluence soap bar pickups provide three distinct voicings, accessible via a three-way mini toggle, ranging from clean clarity to aggressive tones.
An onboard Fishman® 2-band EQ provides control over bass and treble frequencies, while a blend knob allows players to mix the pickups.
The bass is also equipped with Hipshot® Ultra Lite open gear tuners, locking strap pins, Luminlay® side dots and a reverse licensed Stratocaster® headstock.
The new Sleep Token signature instruments are available alongside a video showcasing IV and III performing an instrumental version of “Vore” with their respective Jackson and Charvel models.
