Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC, Transparent Black Burst Overview

The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC is a formidable baritone guitar created for the masked guitarist behind some of Sleep Token's heaviest moments. The band's genre-blurring sound moves between crushing metal riffs, progressive textures, atmospheric passages, electronics, and huge melodic hooks, placing exceptional demands on IV's instruments. This signature Monarkh answers with an imposing 30" scale, mahogany body, maple cap, and quilt maple veneer, finished in Transparent Black Burst.

Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers provide the versatile amplified voice required for Sleep Token's dramatic shifts in sound, with push/pull voice activation expanding the available tones from a streamlined single-volume layout. The EverTune F6 bridge features custom tension saddles, creating a rock-solid platform and maintaining consistent pitch through aggressive performances. A 12"-16" compound fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets support fluid modern playing. Supplied with a custom gig bag, it's a purpose-built expression of IV's unmistakable approach.

Created for Sleep Token's IV

This signature Monarkh brings together Jackson's modern performance approach and the distinctive requirements of Sleep Token guitarist IV. Sleep Token have built their identity by refusing to stay within conventional genre boundaries, moving seamlessly between immense low-tuned metal, progressive arrangements, atmospheric electronics, pop melodies, and quieter passages. Their fourth album, Even In Arcadia, continued that evolution following Take Me Back To Eden, placing musicianship and production at the centre of an increasingly expansive sound. IV's guitars play a crucial role in delivering that contrast live, and this signature model translates his established love of long-scale Jackson instruments into a striking production guitar.

Massive 30-inch baritone range

IV has long incorporated extended-scale guitars into his Sleep Token rig, and this Monarkh takes that approach to its logical conclusion with an imposing 30" scale. It provides the extended low register required for huge riffs while retaining a familiar six-string layout. The mahogany body is topped with a maple cap and quilt maple veneer, while a three-piece caramelised maple set neck is reinforced with graphite for additional stability. This combination creates a substantial performance platform engineered around the powerful low-register playing that's become such a recognisable part of IV's contribution to Sleep Token.

Fluence versatility

Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers provide the flexible electronics needed for music that can change character dramatically within a single song. Their multi-voice design is accessed through push/pull voice activation on the volume control, expanding the guitar's tonal range without cluttering its streamlined control layout. A conventional three-way toggle handles pickup selection, making it quick to move between bridge, combined, and neck sounds. That versatility makes the Monarkh equally prepared for enormous distorted rhythm parts and more spacious textures, reflecting the dynamic contrasts that have become central to Sleep Token's sound.

Built for uncompromising stability

Keeping an extremely low-tuned baritone stable is essential, and the EverTune F6 bridge sits at the heart of this signature model's performance specification. Equipped with custom tension saddles, it provides a dependable foundation designed to maintain accurate pitch through the forceful picking and heavyweight riffing associated with IV's playing. The pale moon ebony fingerboard combines a 12"-16" compound radius with 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets, providing a progressively flatter surface towards the upper register for fluid fretting and controlled bends. Distinctive pearloid teardrop inlays complete the fingerboard, while the Transparent Black Burst finish highlights the quilted figuring beneath for an appropriately dramatic Sleep Token aesthetic.
