Eric Peterson (born: 14 May 1964) is an American guitarist. He is best known as one of the founding members (and one of two only constant members, himself and Chuck Billy) of the US thrash metal band Testament. Eric has also formed a side-project black metal band called Dragonlord, in which he plays guitar and also sings.
Eric has been married to Kirk Hammett's ex-wife Rebecca, with whom he has one child, but they are now divorced [1].
Eric's main guitars have been Gibson models for most of his career in Testament, primarily a black Explorer model and a Les Paul. Recently however, he is endorsing Dean Guitars and has been using an ML model guitar.
