In this video, Stephen Carpenter presents his STEF-8 8 string signature guitar.

In this photo Stephen Carpenter is clearly playing the STEF B-7 in a custom blue paint job with a reversed headstock. His stage guitars are not ever available for purchase so this is the absolute closest thing to his exact guitar.
