Here's a reason to follow us on Twitter: win stuff!

Yesterday (Wed. 4/21/10), ESP artists Vampires Everywhere (Century Media) stopped by our offices in North Hollywood, CA. To mark the occasion, we decided to give away an LTD F-50 guitar to a lucky winner. And how did this winner find out about the contest? We posted it to our Twitter feed, and within minutes, someone called into the special number we set up and won the guitar! Wait, there's more: the band signed the guitar for the winner, Dave from Dublin, CA.

Check out the video below, but first... visit our Twitter page at http://twitter.com/espguitarsusa and follow us! We'll be hosting more contests like this one, but you'll never know unless you follow ESP!
