Jackson Guitars Pro Plus Series Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC - Trans Black Burst

A Jackson Signature Crafted for the World of Sleep Token

This signature Monarkh brings the unique sonic identity of IV, Sleep Token's guitarist, into the Pro Plus range. It offers a modern take on the Jackson single cut format, designed not for standard playing but for heavy, expansive, and highly textured styles where precision in the low end is essential.

Within the Jackson family, this model stands out due to its very specific specifications: 30" / 762 mm scale length, Fishman Fluence electronics, and EverTune bridge. It's not just an aesthetic variation but a true stage instrument engineered to maintain clarity, string tension, and impact in extreme tunings.

An Electric Guitar Designed for Modern Metal and Abyssal Tunings

The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a stable, precise, and inspiring instrument for low-register playing. Its ergonomics and design make it particularly suitable for modern metal, djent, post-metal, heavy ambient, and all styles where riffs must remain clear despite massive sonic density.

The compound radius from 12" to 16" / 304.8 to 406.4 mm facilitates both heavy chords and fast runs higher up the neck. The 22 jumbo stainless steel frets enhance the feeling of smoothness and perfectly support intensive playing. This model will suit musicians demanding accuracy, consistency, and dynamic response.

Tense, Deep, and Extremely Clear Tonality

The mahogany body provides a dense sonic foundation with generous low mids and a natural sense of power. The addition of a maple top and quilted maple veneer contributes to a sharper attack and better definition, which is especially useful when the instrument is tuned an octave lower. The 3-piece caramelized maple set neck promotes stability, sustain, and a responsive feel under the fingers.

The pair of Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers gives this Monarkh true modern versatility. The bridge pickup maintains precision on palm mutes, tight rhythms, and heavily saturated tones, while the neck pickup opens up broader, more singing, or atmospheric textures. The push/pull volume control activates an alternate voice, further expanding the tonal palette without complicating the control interface.

The 3-position selector remains intentionally straightforward and effective: bridge only for bite and aggression, both pickups combined for thick but articulated rhythms, neck only for pads, leads, and more expressive passages. Finally, the EverTune F6 bridge plays a central role in the instrument's overall character: it secures tuning stability, regularizes response, and maintains credible intonation in a range where many guitars quickly show their limits.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the manufacturer's intended behavior when tuned an octave lower, the safest choice remains a D'Addario EXL156 Bass VI Nickel Plated Steel string set with gauges .024-.084, identical to the original setup. A chromatic tuner is also relevant to make the most of the EverTune's precision and secure settings in very low tunings.
