MUSIC
WEB EXPRESS 3000 presents GEORGE LYNCH Guitars Center Stage I started
playing at 10 and was inspired to play initially by the advent of
Beatlemania and then a little later on by the British invasion bands:
Yardbirds, Cream, Zep, Hendrix and Beck.
Well
I’ve been designing signature guitars for ESP for almost 23 years
now. They're family to me and we’ve built some beautiful instruments.
Some of my current favorites are the Super V, the GL 56 and of course
the Tiger. I’ve designed a bad ass acoustic with Washburn. It
has an amazing “evil western” motif, very unique bracing
utilizing “green forestry approved” tone woods. We’re
also working on a top secret pickup system that we hope to install
in next years models. Back in the very early Dokken years I’d
worked with Gary Sunda at Randall and helped develop the RG 100 amp.
I’ve since come full circle and am back with Randall. We’ve
developed the “Lynch Box” series of modular amps which I’m
using exclusively. I’ve designed a unique string set called the
Super V string which is marketed by Dean Markely. Zoom corp. have
been working with me over the last 2 years in developing the Zoom
G2G Mr. Scary Digi efx unit. That's a really fun piece of gear...instant
inspiration. Morley is also marketing the new “Lynch/Dragon 2”
wah pedal among other things. I’ve also got a sig Spectraflev
cable and my own series of Postal Monkey guitar cases that are pretty
sick. Check out the Dia de Muertos case!
That
would be a huge list…Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, Beck, Leslie West,
Peter Green, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Jan Akkerman, Al DiMeola,
Brian May, Allan Holdsworth, Angus and Malcolm Young, Eddie, Yngwie,
Schenker, Uli, Alice In Chains, Children Of Bohdom, Meshugga, Freak
Kitchen, STP, Tool, Fleetwood Mac, George Benson, Django Reinhardt,
Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, Steve Vai, Satriani, Gary Moore, Robin Trower,
Tom Morrello, Jack White, Jimmy Page, The Edge, Mahavishnu, Ravi Shankar,
King Crimson, ZZ Top, Porcupine Tree, Boomerang, The Groundhogs, Fugazi,
anything Mike Patton does…and on and on…

A
musician of many talents, guitarist George Lynch is well known
among hard rockers as the lead guitarist in the band Dokken.
Solo since ‘89, Lynch returned in 2008 with his latest group,
George Lynch’s Souls Of We. With Lynch handling all the
guitars and backed up by a solid band, including vocalist London
Legrand, Let The Truth Be Known is a solid representation
of Lynch and his myriad of rock guitar influences. An endorser of
ESP guitars since 1986, Lynch has a remarkable grasp on the hard rock
guitar style and as a result, he should have across the board appeal
with Dokken’s hard rock crowd as well as fans of Holdsworth,
Fripp and other prog guitar legends who’ve been known for their
rock work in the past. One listen to Souls Of We and it’s clear
that Lynch is still on the cutting edge of extreme hard rock guitar.
There’s few mellow moments on Let The Truth Be Known, so
put it in the CD player, brace yourself and be prepared to be blown
away by Lynch and his Souls Of We.
