ESP LTD GL Desert Eagle Electric guitar

George Lynch is one of the world’s most respected and influential guitarists, and was one of the very first ESP Signature artists to join company back in the 1980s. The LTD GL Desert Eagle is a re-imagining of his famous Kamikaze model. It features an alder body and maple neck, joined with bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale. The Kamikaze’s kanji characters and bombs have been replaced by double feathers and arrow heads in this striking design, which offers subtle black binding on the body. Its neck profile implements George’s original U shape, and it includes a Macassar ebony fingerboard, dot position markers, and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Components on the LTD GL Desert Eagle include a Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws, a special low-friction volume pot, and a special pickup combination that includes a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup in the bridge, with push-pull pickup select on the single volume knob, and an ESP SS-120 single-coil in the neck position. Includes deluxe ESP hardshell case.

Neck: Maple

Maple is known for its strength and stability, making it ideal for necks that need to resist bending and warping.

Pickups Configuration: HS

The humbucker-single-coil configuration means that the guitar is equipped with one humbucker pickup and one single-coil pickup. This setup offers a combination of powerful, full tone from the humbucker and bright, crisp sound from the single-coil, providing versatility for a wide range of musical styles.

Body: Alder

Alder is a medium-weight wood that produces a well-balanced tone with a strong mid-range, bright highs and moderate bass. It is known for its warm and full sound, making it a versatile material for a variety of musical styles.

Fretboard: Macassar Ebony

Macassar ebony is a hard, dense wood with a distinctive striped pattern in shades of black and brown. It offers a clear, crisp tone with excellent response and sustain. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is valued for its luxurious appearance and durability. This contributes to the precise playability and longevity of the instrument.

Finish: Polished

The glossy finish gives any surface an elegant and luxurious look. This type of finish is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer or resin, which are then polished to a high gloss. This provides a smooth, reflective finish, enhancing color and structure of substrate. The glossy finish not only improves aesthetics, but also protects against dust, moisture and minor scratches.

Тype: Superstrat

The Superstrat is a type of electric guitar based on the design of the Stratocaster, but modified for a more aggressive style of playing, especially in the hard rock and metal genres. It has a solid body, often with powerful humbucker pickups for a more powerful and distorted sound. Superstrat guitars often have an improved tremolo system (like the Floyd Rose) and a faster neck for technical playing. This type of guitar is designed for the modern guitarist who demands more versatility and performance.
