"Man... these guitars ain't gonna make it!"

Corrosion of Conformity's Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman have been using custom-made ESPs onstage for a number of years now.

Though they've since become "beat-to-shit workhorses," ESP, Keenan says, "just keeps putting them back together."

The band's journey with ESP began back in 1996, when they were rehearsing for an upcoming tour with Metallica. Keenan and Weatherman were planning on using some "ratty" Gibson SGs for the trek, before James Hetfield intervened, warning the band, "these guitars ain't gonna make it!"

Now, Keenan tells Guitar World in a new interview, Corrosion of Conformity's guitarists get a little nervous taking their prized ESPs on tour, given that – like their old SGs – the guitars have acquired some battle scars.

"They’re beautiful guitars. [They're] an extension of how we play and I’d be lost without them.”
