The Green Man
On April 14th, 2010 the world lost a true legend. Thomas Ratajczyk, aka Lord Petrus Steele, aka Peter Steele, was the songwriter, singer and bassist of Type O Negative.
Formed in Brooklyn in 1989, Type O Negative became a leading force in the music world. Their lyrics, covering topics of love, romance and death, quickly brought them their nickname "The Drab Four", in homage to the Beatles "Fab Four" moniker.
With hit singles like Christian Woman, Black No.1, My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend, Cinnamon Girl, and legendary albums like Bloody Kisses and October Rust, Peter Steele and his bandmates in Type O Negative quickly drew worldwide attention and a massive fanbase.

During the height of their success in the middle of the 90s, Peter Steele was using a custom made Esh Stinger bass, which became his trademark for quite some time.
After months of meticulous work, the artisans at Esh Basses are now able to present a more than fitting tribute to the great Peter Steele. The result is the Esh "The Green Man" Stinger. A homage to one of the greatest musicians of our time.
The first 100 instruments come with a signed and hand-numbered art print by artist Sara Ray, while the first 20 additionally come with a limited edition Chainstrap, custom made by Richter Straps for Esh.
Rest in Power, Peter Steele
