  • Does George Lynch...

    Does George Lynch use the Screamin’ Demon and the Lil’ Screamin’ Demon?

    How would an HSS strat sound with the Screamin’ Demon and 2 Lil’s sound? Would that be a super strat or what?! Does Mr. Lynch use this arrangement?

    Whoever is looking for a guitar project should do this a report back.

    One of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality guitars and basses.


    These are his signature ESP axes, and his tone has stayed relatively "stable" for a while now. I´d say it´s fair to venture a yes.

    The Lil demon was designed to give strat players who want the tone of the screamin demon a close pickup that fit´s in a strat pickguard. I´ve never seen George use something other than a bridge humbucker

      The Kamikaze looks great and so does the Sunburst Tiger. I bet those are some sweet playing axes! But, who can afford them?

        George changes gear faster than anyone I know.

        My impression is that he used the Screamin' Demon more in the early to mid '90's. When I saw him a couple months ago, he was playing an old Fender with a vintage single coil PU. Before that he was using EMG's on a baritone.

        In addition to the Demon, he's used the Distortion, and I believe the JB.

          Vintage Fender in George L's hands? I guess if he processed the signal enough he can make it sound like he wants! Wow. That's cool! Did he still have a tough metal sound with the vintage SC's?

            Here's a pic I took.

            He sounded EXACTLY like George, even with SC's.

                I have 2 Lynchs ...

                One has a Demon in the bridge.

                The other had a Demon in the bridge and an SSL-1 in the neck, and it now has a Bareknuckle Miracle Man in the Bridge and an Irish Tour in the neck.

                The ESP neck pup is their take on the SSL-1. Haji (Skull and Snakes guitar) is the exception with bladed pup in the neck, but this is a different body wood ...

                    Congratulations. Someone's gotta be buyin' those things. I'm glad it's you.
                    Which one do you have? the Kamikaze?

                    By the way, when's your world tour gonna bring you through the Midwest/Heart of America so I can see you play one?


                    So, whats the difference between a $2500 ESP and a $600 ESP? Besides the obvious $1900 difference? Never goes out of tune?

                        Biggest diff is in the quality of the paint job, better wood, and much better playablility. The LTD's are total crap to me.

                        You can do a search and probably find plenty of my anti-LTD rants!! LOL

                            I've got a ESP "Skulls and Snakes" which has an alder body and a "Screamin' Demon". The guitar sounded thin and treble-like. I took the pickup out and tried it in a few other guitars, including a strat : sounded even worse. My conclusion is: totally worthless pickup, even in mahogany guitars. (Tried it with Mesa Dual Rectifier, Marshall TSL 100, Vox AC 30.)
                            My advice : buy any other pickup! Screamin' demon? A sissy scream to me.

                              Yep, I agree completely. I owned the same guitar and thought the same about the pickup. It was thin and nasty sounding. I was going to swap out the pickup but then I realized I also hated the push/pull pickup selector so I ended up selling the guitar. But, I still like ESPs. My main axe is still a H-S Custom Shop M-II that shreds most other guitars I have played. Love it! I would like that Camo looking Kami but I'd have to put in a three way switch and a new pickup.
