Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Dean ML Dean From Hell is a solid-body electric guitar designed around Dimebag Darrell's specifications for high-output metal and hard rock applications. Featuring a mahogany body with set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, and 24.75 inch scale length, the Dean From Hell pairs traditional shred-friendly proportions with extreme performance hardware. The V-shaped headstock and distinctive asymmetrical body contours provide visual aggression. Bridge pickups vary by era: vintage examples feature Bill Lawrence L-500XL units, while modern versions specify Seymour Duncan SH13 Dimebucker humbuckers. The licensed Floyd Rose Special tremolo with locking nut enables extreme pitch manipulation and tuning stability for dive bombs and pinch harmonics.

The ESP Tiger is George Lynch's signature M-1-style superstrat, instantly recognizable by its tiger-graphic finish. It features a basswood body, a fast maple neck with ebony fretboard, a Floyd Rose locking tremolo and a high-output bridge humbucker, delivering a tight, aggressive, sustaining voice built for 80s metal rhythm and soaring, expressive lead playing. Its locking trem suits dive bombs and vibrato-heavy phrasing. Closely tied to Lynch's Dokken and Lynch Mob work, it excels at heavy metal and hard rock, leaning bright, cutting and modern rather than vintage, and rewards a high-gain amp.
