Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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.
The Washburn Dime 3 is Dimebag Darrell's signature collaboration, featuring a mahogany body with flamed maple top, mahogany V-shaped neck with 22 jumbo frets on rosewood fingerboard, and Schaller Floyd Rose licensed vibrato. The guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan 59 and Bill Lawrence L-500 pickups, powered through 2 volumes, 1 tone control, and a toggle switch. The powerful tone delivers rich, warm character perfect for heavy riffs and soaring solos. The aggressive tone combines bite and sustain from high-output humbuckers, ideal for chunky riffs and screaming leads.
