The ESP Guitar Company

ESP is sending good luck vibes to Sebastien Braganza, who is a finalist at the "10 Under 20" competition at this year's Dallas International Guitar Festival. The show, held April 29-May 1 at the Dallas Market Hall, is hosting a performance competition for the ten best guitarists who are under 20 years old, and we think Seb has a pretty good shot at the win.

Currently the youngest member of the ESP artist family at age 14, we first met this Philadelphia-based young gun a few years back when he visited the NAMM Show with his parents. Since then, he's released a solo album, and delighted rock fans with his covers on YouTube that range from Metallica to Megadeth, Ozzy, Stevie Ray Vaughn, iron Maiden and more. Seb has been receiving instruction from another respected young shredder who is part of the ESP artist family: Luis Kalil. Seb plays a number of ESP models including an LTD Kirk Hammett Signature Series KH-202, LTD George Lynch Signature Series GL-200MT, LTD Deluxe MH-1007, LTD MH-400FR, LTD EC-401, and LTD SN-200FR.

The "10 under 20" competition happens on Sunday May 1 at 10am, so if you're at the Dallas Guitar Show, go show some support for this great young player who has a bright future ahead of him! Check out his entry video below.
