I joined the official artists of ESP Guitars exactly 10 years ago. I still don't take it for granted. This is a childhood dream come true for me.
This picture was the first promo shot we did in 2015.

Nice man. I enjoy your videos. You get great tone out of those Vipers. Obviously great riffs too. But you’ve definitely made me want to get a Viper.

That's awesome man, I'm glad you enjoyed the contents. Do not hesitate to get a Viper, such a fantastic axe for metal!

Impressive but I don't see a hand truck anywhere.

ESP Guitars was kind enough to send me the brand new signature axe of Richard Kruspe from Rammstein, the LTD RZK-III. 
This thing is heavy AF even it's solid alder body...

I joined club ESP with a couple Edwards but then I got a Viper Deluxe and converted it to a blues guitar with some different pickups a few months ago. I love the thin U shape neck, the volute, the factory locking tuners, ebony board, and the stainless frets. Man that thing is easy to play. I only own ESP- Edwards and LTD guitars right now. Congrats on the sponsorship, that's a real blessing. I think @dstroud is also affiliated with ESP/LTD as an artist. I don't want to put words in his mouth but I can say he is a great player and always a nice guy!!!

How does being an ESP Artist work? Can you ask for any guitar you want to be built with any specs and call it your model? Do you have to play or be pictured with your model or any ESP guitar a certain percentage of the time (or all the time)?I joined the official artists of ESP Guitars exactly 10 years ago. I still don't take it for granted. This is a childhood dream come true for me.This picture was the first promo shot we did in 2015.
I'd love to hear details on how all this works.

There are different levels of endorsement. I'm not in a position where instruments are built for me, especially not for free. If you're playing in Metallica or Slayer, sure they built several guitars for you! 
At the moment, I can get instruments from ESP at a significant discount, but in return I have to actively tour with the guitars and maintain an online presence. This kind of collaboration is a mutual promotion between the manufacturer and myself, from which both parties benefit. In addition, they often send me guitars to try out, share my opinion and create online content about them.

thanks man!! I’m on their artist list under my band PowerTribe and I can get gear at a discount, that’s all. I just genuinely like their guitars and would be playing them regardless of that.

Exactly, that's the point! I'm an ESP Guitar fan since my age of 13, so it was kinda a dream come true when I can join their artist roster list. Congrats to you as well!

I'm actively waiting for these to hit the used market.
I love the design, but I simply cannot make my brain handle paying 2 grand for an import guitar that isn't from japan.

I've only owned 2 ESP in all the years I've played. A Vintage Plus in the 90s and the Semi Hollow Eclipse they used to make. I struggle to find any negative things about them. Really wish I still had the Eclipse.
