In 1990, during the recording of "Wicked Sensation." George co-designed this guitar as part of his signature series line of ESP guitars. Getting away from the Kamikaze design, this was the first Lynch model to feature a lighter, less dense body wood. The body is made of alder. Another new feature to this guitar are the frets, which Lynch points out, "The frets are really tall. We had to import them from Eastern Europe somewhere. I think they're for an instrument that's non-existent in the US." Pickups in this guitar are a Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6 and an ESP SH-100.
The skull and crossed sword inlays are made of pearl and they are embedded in an ebony fingerboard. The skull and snakes graphic was painted by John Dismukes and later became the artwork for the "Wicked Sensation" album cover. The main center skull would also later become the band's mascot affectionately named "Haji". This guitar, along with the Kamikaze and the famed yellow tiger guitar, remains as one of Lynch's main guitars in the studio and on the road to this day. |
