On June 22, Chris Cole‘s inaugural Gnarlytown Fest took place in San Pedro, California, featuring a bunch of bands, Nitro Circus, and… a massive skateable guitar. That’s right: OC Ramps constructed a 20-foot-log “ESP” guitar in keeping with the festival’s theme. This fret-full edit features Cole, Kelvin Hoefler, David Gonzalez, and Micky Papa strumming away on this bad boy. See you next year!

Watch our little history lesson about Cole’s contribution to gnarliness, below:
