Re: George Lynch and his gear

George came and did a clinic in our store about a year ago. He was pretty cool, he drove up in a Toyota, with his M1 tiger in a gig bag. I had a JCM2000 for him to play through, because we're not a Randall dealer, and he sounded great. He brought a few pedals, I don't remember exactly what they were. As he was warming up, the Trem on the Tiger almost fell off. So he looked at me in shock, like a deer in the headlight type thing. I took his guitar and put the trem back together. The claw screws were so loose, vibrations from the trip must have loosened up to the point where the springs were flopping. The guitar had a sawtooth like headstock, and had a new duncan Custom custom pickup in it. He told me that it was basically the same pickup that Eddie uses.
Anyway, he put on a great clinic, and was really eager to talk to anyone. He was a little elusive though. All of a sudden, after the clinic was finished, he was gone. It was cool to see him. He loves the Danelectro 9 volt batteries, he bought all I had. Also, my wife almost got him to pay 5 bucks for a mini Hershey bar, but that's another story.
