Would you rock this new George Lynch Desert Eagle?

[napalmdeath]

I love the specs.. 22 Fret, (SS Extra Jumbo), ebony board. The bridge pickup seems to be a mystery... ESP says it's a Duncan '78, specs on most sites say it a Distortion.. I can live with either.

It's got a WIDE Neck, which I also dig. Says it's an R3 nut, but listed at 45MM.

My only reservation is the finish.. Is it gaudy? I got a great deal on one, (a discount, plus I have $130 credit)... What say you?

 

[NorCal_Val]

Yes.
And I will be shortly.

I would but I am a Lynch fan. SS jumbos, wide neck, ebony board, and H/S pickup configuration are all right up my alley.

 

[Detroit1973]

no

My favorite pup combo…jb/single…I dig it. Hits everything I like for a shredder…get it…
Hb not jb…duh

I like the overall look and ebony board with ss frets. Don't dig the Floyd and or the pic of Geronimo, or Sitting Bull, whoever that is.
Be better if it was something like Cantrell's blue dress:

Oh, and $1699........ no

I love the Kamis, I think they're the best bolt on guitar made. The neck width & profile (if they are true to the ESP spec) is fantastic.

 

[Devin]

Fuck yeah I would


The "serpent" finish is still my fave GL guitar tho

 

[NorCal_Val]

Just ordered.

Does it have a maple body?

Does it have a maple body?

No, it’s alder.
My ESP Sunburst Lynch Tiger has a maple body.
It weighs 10 lbs. 10 oz.

I've got one -- love it as much as my ESP Kamikaze. Less weight makes it easier to play. I changed the Duncan Distortion to a BK Rebel Yell. The finish is not cheap at all

 

[DanTravis62]

Nah, finish is cool.

It's just one of those finishes where if you bring it to a gig, things will be assumed and expected about your playing lol

And their assumptions would be wrong.

 

[napalmdeath]

Yes.

I pulled the trigger. I sent ESP a message on Facebook to clarify what pickup is in the bridge. All else fails, I have a TB-5 for good measure.

I'll brush up on my Dokken catalog!

It's supposed to be a "George Lynch Original U Profile".

So, did it in fact have a Distortion? ESP's site says it's a '78?? I'm sure that is wrong.

I think it looks pretty good myself. I also dig the H/S config. I would be more into it if the graphic was around the whole body.

alder body? custom 5....imo...put one in my dk2 and it just rips.
