The ESP Jake E. Lee is the signature model the guitarist favored late in the Badlands era, built with a Gibson-scale neck and his preferred jumbo-to-regular fret combination. Lee swapped its stock pickups for a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and DiMarzio SDS-1 single coils in the middle and neck, giving an HSS voice that blends aggressive humbucker crunch with single-coil snap. He preferred its feel and tone for its tighter, more focused response. It suits hard rock and metal rhythm and lead, leaning aggressive and articulate, and pairs well with high-gain Marshall-style amps.
The Jackson Mark Morton Dominion is the Lamb of God guitarist's signature single-cutaway, a neck-through chambered mahogany guitar with a quilted maple top, ebony fretboard, 24.75-inch scale and shark-fin block inlays. It pairs two coil-splittable humbuckers (his DiMarzio Dominion pickups) for a versatile range from thick, aggressive high-gain rhythm and lead to clearer split-coil tones. Built for modern metal and groove metal, it delivers a fat, sustaining, articulate voice that suits Lamb of God's riff-driven style while retaining more tonal flexibility than a typical metal guitar thanks to the coil splits. It pairs naturally with high-gain Mesa-style amps.
