Growing up idolizing Wayne Static in the mid-2000s, I needed to get an ESP. Thankfully where I was taking guitar lessons I came across an ESP Ltd Eclipse 400 in Sunburst. It was April 2009, and because I was a student at the store, I was able to get a discount down from $699 to $629. It was the very first thing I ever bought that cost over $100. The first time I ever played it, it was just like magic. Something took over me. Needless to say, I've put this guitar through the ringer. At various points I've had it tuned all the way and all the way down. It sort of became my baritone guitar without actually being a baritone guitar just because it handled it well enough to stay in tune for a while.

I've been using these picks almost exclusively since 2011. Wouldn't use anything else.
