The ESP Guitar Company

Here's acclaimed ESP artist Steffen Kummerer doing a playthrough of his black metal band Thulcandra's song "As I Walk Through The Gateway". Steffen, who is also admired for his playing in technical death metal band Obscura, is using his LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Vintage Black, one of the most popular guitars we've ever made. The EC-1000 VB offers aged-looking body/neck/headstock binding and gold hardware, and includes premier components like LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and the aggressive punch of active EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) active pickups. It also offers set-thru construction with a mahogany body, three-piece mahogany neck, and Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Thulcandra's l;atest album Hail the Abyss just came out in may; order it here.
