The ESP Guitar Company

KrashKarma is sort of unique in the ESP artist roster. Calling themselves "The White Stripes of Metal", the band has only two members: ESP player Ralf Dietel, and drummer/singer Nicole Skistimas. Despite being based in Los Angeles, they're connected to ESP via our great distributor in Germany/UK, Sound Service. And, despite being a duo, they bring as much  energy to their live shows as many bands three times their size... and they're on tour right now.

Ralf has played a variety of ESP models including LTD MH Series and Phoenix guitars, but his most well-known instrument is an ESP E-II Stream that he's modified so he can play guitar and bass at the same time. Hey look, when you're in a two-person band, you do whatever it takes to rock!
