Legendary British metal guitarist Glen Tipton has joined up with Ernie Ball strings and accessories. Glen is one of the original members of Judas Priest, having co-written such classic hits as "Living after Midnight," "Breaking the Laws," and "You got another thing comin."

Glen joined the band in the early 70's and has played on every record released since 1974. The band found mainstream success in the 80's, releasing multi-platinum albums such as "Screaming for Vengeance," "British Steel," and "Defenders of the Faith."

In addition to Ernie Ball medium nylon picks, Glenn uses the Ernie Ball RPS 10 gauge Slinkys on all his guitars. The reinforced wrapped ball end helps with his heavy tremolo use.

Like years past, the band is once again on the road supporting their latest release "Demolition." For more information on Glenn Tipton and Judas Priest, visit their website at www.judaspriest.com.
