This ESP George Lynch signature series ‘Serpent’ guitar was owned and extensively used by George Lynch between 1993 and 1997. The guitar was manufactured in Japan in 1993 (Serial # 90011) and was last used by Lynch on the 1997 Dokken ‘Shadowlife’ Tour. Eventually George sold the guitar to a private collector in Europe in 1998, who has kept the guitar ever since. The guitar comes with a signed COA from George Lynch on ESP letterhead, dated July 1, 1998. With a swamp ash body, the Serpent guitar's tone balances brightness and warmth, making notes really pop. The maple neck has a thin U-shaped profile and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard, perfect for high-speed shredding. A Screamin' Demon humbucker wails from the bridge position, and an ESP LS-100 single-coil chimes and squawks at the neck. The Floyd Rose bridge makes it easy to charm this snake into talking up a storm. The cosmetics of the Serpent-600 include black hardware and a yin-yang like Serpent graphic that's nearly as mesmerizing as the sound. There are a few small hairline cracks in the body, common with the extensive use that it has endured. Overall, the guitar is in very good condition and comes in the original hard-shell case. This is a prestigious guitar with great history and provenance. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
