Screamin Demon V?

[MikeS]

The following is pasted from the georgelynch.com newsletter:

George will also be unvieling his new ESP
Brahma super V guitar that he has designed and is
building with master Luthier John Gaudesi.
Powering the super V will be George's new Seymour
Duncan Screamin Demon V pickup.

As if a new ESP sig guitar wasn’t intriguing enough, there’s a new (and I assume improved) Screamin Demon? Anyone have the scoop on this pup yet?

I would guess the new pup design is needed b/c the red book Demon doesn't work well.

They recently scaled down the number of Lynch Signature guitars, so this will be a welcome addition! (As well as increasing the collectability of the ones no longer in production)

red book? am I missing something?

No kidding, I've always wanted a b&w serpent, but I'm sure that once they stopped production on it the value skyrocketed, placing a used one well out of my wallet's reach. My fellow bandmate has a 1999 Haji that is yummmy.

Haha, I just read that email too. It looks like he switched from Framus to Randall for the signature amp. And the signature Dean Markely all nickel strings should be great too. I use Fender all nickel strings and they're better than D'Addarios.

Sorry ... red book means 'standard'. It's a digital audio geek term.

Re: Screamin Demon V?

By "doesn't work well" are you refering to the Demon not being as "signature" as it may have once been, or just plain doesn't lend itself to George's evolved style (which is what I am assuming)?

Whatever the case may be, it will be very interesting to see how evil this new Demon will be.

i love it as it is

the name suggests an alnico V magnet, but i swear thats what it already has? :wink:

Re: Screamin Demon V?

Yeah, the V is to go with the name of the guitar. The Screamin Demon has an alnico 5 magnet.

Maybe the new GL pup is shapped like a V or a bomberang like those old Gibson Flying V's that had Bomberang shapped Pickups. Dumb idea I know but just though of it for some reason.

Also did Lynch use Randalls before? Back in the 80's sometime.

I wish Randall would bring back the RG-80.
