ESP Sunburst Tiger

The ESP Sunburst Tiger is one of the signature instruments ESP built for George Lynch, the American guitarist known for Dokken and Lynch Mob. The name refers to its finish, a sunburst base overlaid with the tiger-stripe graphic that became Lynch's visual signature, and the guitar itself is a superstrat with an aggressively carved lower horn, a single humbucking pickup in the bridge position, a volume control and a locking vibrato bridge. These instruments helped establish the single-pickup, graphic-finished stage guitar as a standard form in the 1980s.
