I wish ESP would bring back the black and white non-ltd serpent.

I wish ESP would bring back the black and white non-ltd serpent.

That was one of my favs as well.

 

[Digital Jams]

I have to say Lynch looks good here and sounds very sincere, they have been together for a long time.

 

[verderacer]

Geez, has it really been 25 years...

 

[iPilot]

Thanks for posting that. George is one of my favorite guitarists.

I'd like to see a return of the Floyded Super V.

If he loves staying in committed relationships as an endorser, what's his problem with Randall?

 

[rupe]

Is he no longer endorsing Randall?

 

[Shiny_Surface]

So how did you get started with ESP?

"Well we were in NY playing a large arena and..."

then in the same sentence

"Since we were in Japan...decided to go to ESP"

Nice slip, ESP doesn't like to refer to their NY past apparently.

 

[the rossness]

Is he no longer endorsing Randall?

In name only. He keeps his Randall's onstage (so he can fufill his contract obligations and make money), but never plugs into them. Instead he always plays his Marsha, Herbert and SLO.

Nah, somebody at the NY gig suggested he talk to ESP when the tour gets to Japan.

 

[rupe]

what happened in their ny past?

They used to have a "custom shop" based out of 48th St Guitars. You could essentially go in and spec out your own custom intrument, or build one out of parts they had in stock. Most of their celebrity endorsee guitars came out of this location in the late 80's IIRC. I believe something then happened that soured the relationship but I can't recall the details.

ESP operated out of NYC in the early days from what I've read, so if Lynch was swinging through NYC for a show at that time he could have visited ESP there.
