    Congrats to our "Play Mr. Scary" Contest Winners

    In September and October, we had what may have been one of the coolest contests in ESP history. And as of today, we're happy to finally announce the winners.

    George Lynch and ESP send our congratulations to Takeyo Kimura of Tokyo, Japan, for winning the first place prize as chosen by Mr. Scary himself. Takeyo will be receiving a signed LTD GL-200K "Kamikaze" guitar for his outstanding performance of George's signature song, along with a signed copy of KXM's album. Takeyo reports, "George was my superhero since I was a teenager! I am supremely happy."

    Our second through fifth place runners up are as follows:
    - Julian Scarcella
    - Scott Manning
    - Leandro Martins
    - Dave Odegaard

    All of them will also receive signed copies of the KXM album, and we congratulate them on their excellent work. We also want to thank the dozens of other people who submitted their video entries, which ranged from the silly to the sublime. The ESP team, along with George, enjoyed every one of them.

        Great JP, for me the "second" however should be in first position. Very strange only second, too strong player, so strong that for him is enough to play only 1.46min.

        Absolutely all 100% live!
        Maybe George had smoke in the eyes during his video

            Did Mr. Lynch really see all the videos?? Or maybe he was too busy between a photographic pose and another???
