What can I say about George Lynch that hasn’t been said before? I am a huge fan, and it is always a big thrill for me to see him play live. I'm a total 80's MetalHead....and there's a long list of guitarists to pick from but, my all-time favorite has to be George Lynch. He's is the reason I picked up a guitar in 1984. I don’t know if it was the very cool two-tone hair, the monster riffs and shredding solos or his artistic guitars, but he was “it” for me. 

 

George Lynch—George is one of ESP's first signature artists, and def one of the most prominent ESP players. The early Dokken and Lynch Mob records have some of my favorite solos of all-time on them. George’s sense of melody and phrasing still blow me away to this day. When Lynch plays guitar, he spares no energy and gives all of himself to the audience; constantly moving, never stationary. It doesn't much matter what guitar Lynch plays, he always sounds good.Lynch also makes his own guitars for customers and fans, Mr. Scary Guitars. For between $3,800 and $9,000, Lynch's customer gets a phone consultation with Lynch personally and a fully custom guitar built especially to their personal specifications.
