Thrasher

Any thing coming up at Summer NAMM for George Lynch?  I would really like to see a GL-500 level guitar.  I know you've had them in the past, but there isn't a current GL-500.  Maybe the Yellow Tiger, but with a better Bridge P/U and a Floyd Rose 1000 "Original" Tremolo.  Just a thought.

Hey Thrasher, thanks for that suggestion. No plans for this summer with George. Recent models we released were in our  higher price point, for example the Kami-4 had a Seymour Duncan pickup and 1000 series FR bridge.

Could you tell me what the clear coat is on this GL-200MT? Is it Polyurethane? or something else?

Todd B. ESP

Hi Ryan, Yes it is polyurethane.

Is the truss rod adjustment at the headstock on this guitar or at the butt of the neck requiring you to take the neck off to adjust it?

Todd B. ESP

Hi MrScary88, great question, I realize it's hard to tell from the photo! The truss rod is accessible under the nut at the headstock.

is LH-150B a low end pick up? It’s the best I have ever heard, but if there are better ones I would like to buy a Seymour Duncan or the Screaming Deamon.

Todd B. ESP

Hi Yuan, Thanks for your question. The LH-150B is a less expensive pickup but that doesn't mean that it's "low end". You may be surprised to compare our pickup to an expensive pickup from a pickup manufacturer and may not find much difference. Of course it is natural to want to test or experiment with different pickups and their sounds, so we encourage you to find a different pickup if you want to try something different. A Screamin Demon pickup is a good pickup but please make sure you understand the characteristics of the pickup. It is certainly not a hot pickup. It is very clean sounding (George likes his sound from the guitar to be very clean). There are a variety of pickups out there that can be very clean to very hot and everything in between. You can also experiment with different magnets to give you more warm sounds (Alnico), etc. So basically whether a pickup is better or worse is all subjective but it's part of being a guitarist to get to know different pickups and which one works best for you.

Hi, ESP. So happy to own this guitar, mine is the 2009 version made in China.

 

Sounds definitely fantastic,  I use it to play hair metal songs!

 

Could you please tell me what the heel width of this guitar is?

I would like to Change the guitar neck after the Yellow tiger that George Lynch used in 1985.

Todd B. ESP

Hi Yuan, Glad to hear you like this guitar! The heel width should be around 57mm (this is the width at the last fret). It is always best to measure your model because the thicknesses can vary slightly in manufacturing guitars due to woodworking and painting tolerances.
