          FEATURED ARTIST

          Bill Kelliher

          Mastodon

          ESP Signature artist Bill Kelliher is a founding member of American heavy metal titans Mastodon. His complex and innovative approach to tight rhythms and intricate riffs made him a tremendously influential player from the moment Mastodon burst onto the scene in 2000. Bill's Signature Series guitars — the Sparrowhawk, Royal Shiva, and BK-600 — provide the excellent dynamic response, sustain, roadworthy reliability, and playing feel needed for his band’s powerful performances. Mastodon is currently hitting the stages of some of the summer’s major metal festivals in Europe, and this fall will be back in the States for their “Poisonous Weapons” tour in September and October.
