Yeah, I think some of them are.
George Lynch’s tone on “Back For The Attack”.
Doug Aldrich’s tone on Lion’s “Dangerous Attraction”.
Jake E Lee’s tone on the first Badlands album.
Akira Takasaki’s tone on “Live Loud Alive” and “Thunder In The East”.
Just to name a few.
I just replaced the Duncan ‘78 with the Duncan Alternative 8. Yowza. That’s the ticket.
Despite being fairly “hot”, the Alternative 8 has really nice string-to-string definition. I’d call it slightly mid-scooped, but not so much where it sounds like there’s a hole in your eq.
The LTD Desert Eagle I got, two months ago, is an excellent guitar. It arrived new in the box, and ready to play. Maybe I lucked out? I dunno.
I have 3 of the LTD Lynch models, and all 3 are outstanding guitars.(Burnt Tiger, Kami 4, and the Desert Eagle)
I found the Duncan ‘78 to be a hair too...
“Rising Force” will always be on my list of inspiring “guitar-centric” albums.
So many good memories about that album.
We drove down to S.F. to see him, on his first solo tour, at the Kabuki Theater.
It was f_cking epic.
We saw Dio, on those first two tours, at Cal Expo, in Sacramento. Great shows; Dio’s vocals, Vivian’s guitar playing, a couple of the Black Sabbath tunes. Whitesnake was the opening band for one of the shows. Sykes was a monster.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was shocked when I got my LTD/Lynch “Desert Eagle”, as the fingerboard is black, even though it’s macassar ebony. I was hoping for a dark brown with striping.
:LOL:
