Lynch Tiger Stripe arrives

[Guitarnut]

I know some of you guys out there aren't ESP fans, but this one was (I think) a bargain. E-bay item for under a third the price of a new one (RRP). It's immaculate - doesn't look played (although the strings feel played) without a mark on it. Plays really nicely - the neck is wider and less deep than my Wolfgang - feels a bit like an Ibanez PGM neck (but is deeper than that one). It doesn't feel "unfinished" like EBMMs & Wolfgangs - slightly lacquered - but smooth nonetheless & plays really nicely (in my untutored, semi-semi-skilled opinion). It has a Seymour JB (instead of the normal Screamin' Demon?) - but the paperwork in the case suggests that this was factory installed. The whole guitar is bloody heavy - almost Les Paul heavy (although I haven't got the scales out yet!).



Nice!

[gtrbuyer]

[Mr Graphic]

Same here...very cool & very heavy = GREAT tone! Congrats on the good deal!

[Gitarguy]

One of these days I am going to get one of those.

Cool guitar. Aren't the bodies on those solid maple? I think at least a few of the George Lynch series guitars are solid maple and thus, fairly heavy.

[skorb]

yeah if it's heavy it's solid maple.

I love those ESP hockey stick headstocks. they are way cool.

nice grab!

[Soap]

Yep good catch indeed.
Most of Lynch's signature models are solid guitars, highly recommend them.

it's like if you have a guitar like that you better be able to play it.

man the more I look at that one the more I like it. I love his kamakazi guitars. sick sick design.

i always liked the look of most of the lynch guitars but i never got along with the tone of a maple body. still good lookers though!
