With a history dating back to 1975, ESP guitars have become one of the leading brands in modern guitar manufacturing, with the instruments produced in their 1980's golden era being seen as some of the best heavy rock and metal orientated guitars ever produced. ESP guitars have graced the stage with artists such as Metallica, Slayer and the Rolling Stones, with a build quality and playability that is second to none.
