Any News on second axe swinger?

Roope definitely has an ESP deal. I've seen him posing with an ESP for them.

Well, yes, I've seen him posing too, but...

Oh well, since I'm not sure, I guess I can't really argue. So, I guess I'll have to believe he has a deal.

Which leads us to a question: what is the deal about, if he has no obligation to use the esp?

maybe they just wanted abother great guitar player promoting their stuff? sot they offered him cash for doing useless Roopa Custom model that hed probably never use and posing to meaningless pictures?

Must be something like that. Or, they gave him the guitars in exchange for posing in some pics or some shit.

To be honest, we could really do with Janne answering this question, because I doubt any of us are going to guess the correct answer.
The only thing I can think of is, either he is signed and basically just not using the guitars for some reason. Or His contract to ESP doesn't start until a specific date, and he didnt have to use the ESP in the previous shows.
Hopefully we will find out though, as I am quite curious about this.

When I talked to Roope in New York, he said he might stay in Children of Bodom.

Why not , he get's on well with the cob guys .

Well..... i was reading on a finnish jackson site(in english) that this guy lent roope his Jackson star while he was in Stone and he really really liked it.

So my guess is that roope had to get an endorsement and as jackson dont make stars anymore he just scored a free one from ESP.

I can find that jackson star info for anyone if you want?

about the ESP endorsement.
Alexi still plays Jackson for SIxpounder live. so...

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

yeah, but he covers up the Jackson logo you see. So he isn't promoting any other guitar brands.

geez i didnt notice that!
