On Thursday, October 20, GIT is proud to host a day-long celebration in honor of ESP Guitars. From its humble origin in 1975 as a Japanese custom guitar parts provider, ESP has grown to become one of the world's most popular guitar brands with dozens of top-name endorsers ranging from Kirk Hammett and Ron Wood to many of today's top metal acts.

The anniversary event will feature concerts and clinics by ESP artists including George Lynch (pictured - Dokken, Lynch Mob), Paul Pesco (Madonna, J Lo) and others, and special events will include giveaways (including a new ESP guitar!) as well as hands-on stations where students can try out the latest hot ESP gear. Happy Birthday ESP!!
