Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Charvel Jake E. Lee San Dimas is the signature superstrat of the Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist, echoing the Charvel-decaled Fender Strat he made famous in the 1980s. It is a Strat-style HSS guitar with a fast neck and a hardtail bridge, voiced for cutting, dynamic hard rock and metal lead and rhythm. Combining single-coil clarity in the middle and neck with a hot humbucker in the bridge, it delivers both glassy bite and aggressive crunch, suiting Lee's expressive, blues-tinged metal style. It leans bright and articulate, rewarding a cranked Marshall and a player who relies on touch and dynamics.
The Gibson Flying V of this period is the production mahogany version of the 1958 shape rather than the original korina, with two humbuckers, a string-through-body V-plate tailpiece and a set neck. With almost no wood above the neck joint the guitar balances tail-heavy and cannot be played seated in the normal way, which is why it stayed a stage instrument.
