The George Lynch signature model ESP Kamikaze-4 solidbody electric guitar was made to rock. This guitar's comfortable contoured maple body gives the Kamikaze-4 a distinct and punchy voice. You'll enjoy the bright sound of the bolt-on maple neck and smooth maple fretboard. Top-notch touches like the Gotoh tuners and a Floyd Rose tremolo provide tuning stability. This radical axe will take you on a scary ride through incredible tonal worlds given its Seymour Duncan Signature George Lynch "The Hunter" humbucker and ESP SS-120 single-coil combination. Get ready to rock!





Comfortable maple body and neck





In 1985, George Lynch's signature model guitars brought ESP to the guitar playing masses. Based on the M series body, the guitar's maple body is designed for comfort, clarity, and sustain. Though on the heavier side, the guitar's solid maple body offers huge low end, clear highs, and almost unending sustain. And the Kamikaze-4's body contours fit you like a glove and keep the guitar nicely balanced. The Kamikaze-4's 22-fret neck boasts George's Original U profile to add even more sustain and mass to your tone.





Killer pickup combination





ESP loaded the George Lynch Kamikaze-4 with a Seymour Duncan "The Hunter" humbucker. Wound on an antique winding machine and tuned to George's discriminating ears, this pickup hits your amp hard - really hard. That being said, it yields an incredible high-end sweetness that sizzles and growls without a trace of harshness. And an ESP SS-120 pickup in the neck adds classic single-coil tones to your sound when you pull up on the volume knob. The George Lynch signature model ESP Kamikaze-4 electric guitar carries streamlined electronics aimed at hard rock.





Top-of-the-line ESP quality





ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-80s ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made them one of the most prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and their impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Stephen Carpenter, Kirk Hammett, and the late Alexi Laiho, ESP makes the guitars that guitar heroes use.
