SKULLS & SNAKES
$5,499.00

As ESP's first Signature Series artist, George Lynch brought a unique and powerful vision to the world of custom-designed guitars. The ESP Skulls & Snakes is an excellent representation of the creativity that happened in the 1980s when George and ESP became connected. One of our earliest Signature Series models, the Skulls & Snakes was designed by George as a guitar that could match his mind-blowing playing style. Made by hand by the famous luthiers of the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, it features a comfortable maple body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Its sound, as specified by George, is powered by an ESP Designed single-coil SH-100 pickup in the neck position, and a custom Seymour Duncan "The Hunter" pickup in the bridge spot. This pickup was specifically designed to George’s specification for a powerful and dynamic response, providing the harmonics, dimension, and firepower that George’s style demands. It's a high-output pickup with ceramic magnets and custom wind, with all the muscle for power chords and easy access to harmonic squeals, while remaining transparent enough for the “not quite clean but not exactly dirty” tones that George employs. The ESP Skulls & Snakes includes a Floyd Rose Original bridge and Gotoh tuners, and comes with a high-quality hard shell case and a Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.

I bought this ESP George Lynch Skulls & Snakes in 2007. It is one of the best guitar that I ever have. Thanks to George Lynch and ESP Guitar. The artwork and the craftmanship on this guitar is amazing. It feel solid and look beautiful from all angles. It has a push and pull knob volume with 2 type of sound (tone). The sound is awesome whether play it on clean sound or with high gain distortion. I am a fan of George Lynch. Any guitarist who look for a great guitar, well, this is a great guitar.
