Based on the M series body, the ESP George Lynch Skull and Snakes is all about comfort, tone, and sustain. When you're rocking hard night after night, the last thing your need is an axe that hangs on you like a boat anchor.

Killer pickup combination





ESP loaded the George Lynch Skull and Snakes with a Seymour Duncan Hunter bridge pickup. Armed with high-output ceramic magnets, George's custom-wound signature humbucker delivers a harmonic-laden sound with enough firepower to please his discriminating ears. And an ESP SH-100 dual-blade power-rail pickup in the neck adds classic single-coil tones to your sound when you pull up on the volume knob. The George Lynch signature model ESP Skull and Snakes electric guitar carries streamlined electronics aimed at hard rock.





Top-of-the-line quality from Japanese-made ESP guitars





ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-80s ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Each ESP Skull and Snakes guitar is still made in Japan. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and their impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Stephen Carpenter, Kirk Hammett, and Alexi Laiho, ESP makes the guitars that today's guitar heroes use.
