In a recently released rig overview video for Premier Guitar, guitarist Stephen Carpenter of Deftones has showcased his collection of guitars and shared the backstories of each one. In an interview conducted during the band’s August 30, 2025, performance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the well-known alternative metal artist listed his favorite instruments and discussed his musical development. He also gave fans a close-up view of the collection of instruments and equipment he carries to every Deftones performance. Carpenter also discussed more private topics throughout the conversation, such as his health and the bands he has recently been enjoying.

I love Bilmuri. Bilmuri is amazing. All bangers, as stated. I’ma tell ya, the latest record [‘AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS‘], I never turned it off for maybe two or three months. I’ve been going through some health struggles over the past couple years — basically I’m type 2 diabetic, that’s what I’m dealing with — and you know, I’m 55, I’m getting old right? So there was a time when that record came out and I listened to it so much, that the songs were just so, so catchy. Like, I’d wake up in the middle of the night and go use the bathroom or whatever, but I couldn’t get to sleep because the song would keep going. I’d have to put something on that made me hear something else in my head. I stopped listening to it for awhile, because it was too much. But now I can listen to it without it disrupting my sleep.
