George Lynch/ Which guitar was used?

[Predator1]

I am curious to know what guitar George used for the solo on Night After Night
on the Back For the Attack album. Anyone?

Do you mean "Night By Night"? No idea which guitar he used, but he was playing his J.Frog skull guitar a lot around that time.

It was an ESP of some kind then - he has his Kami & Bengal by then, and I think that along with his Froggy, the bengal was his main guitar. There's an old GL website out there that has all his tour & studio rigs, but I don't remember the link.

You can still access the gear list on his web site. Just click on gear at the top.

The only guitar that I saw on there that specifically said it was used on a particular song was the graffiti, used on the solo for "Cry of the Gypsy".

Didnt he use a sustaniac alot on the album also?

When Mr. Graffitti was listed on ebay, either on Lynch's website or somewhere I read that guitar was used for several songs on the Back for the attack album. Not sure which ones though so not much help.

I've read that in interviews, too. When I tried to search that on the web, I found this blurb on his site:

One newer piece of technology used in these recordings was the Sustainiac Model-B system. The Sustainiac, made by Maniac Music, Inc., was a two piece unit that included a dual floor pedal and a string driver transducer that was bolted to the back of the headstock of the guitar. The floor unit, the Sustainiamp, takes the signal, amplifies it and sends it to the transducer mounted on the back of the headstock. The transducer produces sound vibrations transferred to the strings, sustaining them for as long as you fret any note on the guitar. The mystery of the little black box on the back of some of George's guitars is revealed!

Here's the actual link: Back for the Attack gear

he used maple bodies with maple necks and alder bodies with rosewood necks with the duncan distortion pickup through a marshall and tubescreamer. add some slapback reverb and some delay and you've got his solo sound.
