George Lynch talks about 25 years with ESP

[verderacer]

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.

Thats sad

Its a good product but I guess Randall is not moving enough of them so they killed the line...

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?

Id Love to see this rereleased, it played like Buttah and its my favorite Lynch graphic by far..

Yeah, I was going to say, who has George shown any loyalty to besides ESP?

Guitar brand loyalist, total whore with everything else.

I remember hearing a long time ago that he was supposed to touch down in NY to meet with Kramer, but they forgot to pick him up at the airport so he went to ESP instead. Could be some truth to it, I suppose.

Thanks for posting these Lynch/ESP videos! It's hard to believe it's been 25 years. I still remember seeing him for the first time with his kamikaze guitar in the various guitar mags back in the day.

I think you're on the right track with that. There is an alleged prototype Lynch sig Kramer guitar, but Kramer went downhill quick and Lynch switched right over to ESP (ESP built parts for Kramer anyway). A ton of guitar players in the 80's had Kramers, but it seems when Lynch switched to ESP, everyone left Kramer.

I've got one of those but in Purple, really need to get it refretted so I can play it. I have no idea how many are around, thats the only other one i've seen (thats the one from vintagekramer right?)

Yeah I read the same thing too, from Kramerforum. I think I actually asked the question "did George Lynch ever sign with Kramer" over there and one of the guys there is the son or something of Kramer CEO back then and he told the story. I may have something down wrong, but Dave L's memory on things is the same I have.
