Talked to George Lynch himself and asked him whats the secret to his tone? he responded "No secret besides the secret tone box that contains dead Hendrix ashes" So according to him it contains Jimi Hendrix Ashes
Everybody else: "My guitar has a crack from falling, has distressed finish from the sun, had a re-fret...etc." George: " MY guitar has a gum and it got shot..." Everybody else leaves in shame.
Its an old Sustainiac.. you hook up your guitar to a pedal that you then wire back to the box on the head. On the pedal you can then choose what harmonics you want to feed back in to the neck of the guitar and how strong etc.. its what makes his leads absolutely scream on BFTA for instance(Ive talked to Neil Kernon about this.).
It connects to an original type of sustainiac pedal. A cable from the headstock connects to the pedal. The pedal causes some sort of vibration that is sympathetic to string vibrations causing them to sustain for an extended period of time.
I still have my Mighty Mite guitar body that his M1 is built from. And that black box is the magnetic coupler for a Sustaniac harmonic generator. I also still have mine lol.
Shit! He probably couldn't get Triple AAA to help @ that time. 2 am, transmission in yer car goes, and have to drive in reverse to get home? And get shot by Homies? DAMN!!! And he's a Platinum Recording Artist!! WOW!!
either that or it just hangs from the headstock down to the pedal.. its not really something you would use live, its more for studio-situations(Live you would probably use real feedback instead.).
Seen Lynch Mob in Colorado springs in 2019. Sounded awesome. Don't change the name of the band! George that's like asking someone to change your name for all the bulshit happening no Dont give in George.
Something interesting of note....he mentions Karl Sandoval, a very famous luthier in SoCal. He did some work for this guy named Eddie Van Halen??? He also created Randy Rhoads' signature polka dot V by RR's specifications. Just another notch in rock and roll history.
randy got the idea for his polka dot v from George. George and randy were hanging out and George brought a flying v with a Strat trem that Karl Sandoval made for him and he told randy he should call him and have Sandoval make him a guitar and thats how the polka dot v was created
@@joestewart2298 Yeah George (love him or hate him or indifferent) HAS HAD HIS ups in downs through the decades so.... Lol. He's still a warrior the way he's outlasted his heydaze in the 80s and he's ALWAYS staying involved in the music making some shape or another staying in the NOW and forward (unlike some that ARE STILL around, from that era).... Still LOTTA respect for the guy! 😎🤘🔥🤘
That being shot at story is suuuucccchhhh bullshit. They hit his guitar while he was in a shitbox italian car with an American engine and gearbox driving in reverse through a riot and somehow the guitar got hit through the car, he didn't and all the bullet did to a piece of maple is a lil scratch. Ok man legit as fk. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Breaking the chains on the truth
Alessandro Ciapica Yeah right that’s what I was thinking they all started with Sharvelle almost all of them and then they ditched him but copied him sell out
its a guitar he made from miscellaneous parts. he has had a dozen different necks and pick ups in it. he just has an esp neck because thats the brand that endorses him
Im serious, what is that thing on the back really? on recent lives he uses some other stuff attached to the headstock of his guitars, much bigger and they have an oval form, seriously wtf are those stuffs, they are not even connected with a jack or any cable, if some know answer please
@@legacyoflynch1885 Maybe 🤔 it's another one of those hardcore DON fanatics..."The DON is STRONG with THIS one!" (in Darth Vader's voice).... They ARE out there! 😬 Lol 😎 🤘🔥🤘
@@schuey999 first of all what interview did he say that and second he loves that guitar he said he would save it from a burning building and hes not in financial trouble so why would he sell it

George lynch the real deal when you talk about rock stars and great human beings he is the real deal the finest
Best Comment Award...
Wow I've seen George play that in person 5 times, I'm a lucky guy
An Awesome example of a great Guitarist and a human being. Love George Lynch.

My favourite George's guitar! Very cool!

George has a hilarious, understated sense of humor!!! Funny shit!!
Great interview ~ George is friggin' COOL

03:45 About the LA riots. Wow, man George is bad ass.
thats one hell of a story driving reverse to get to the freeway during the riots and getting shot at.
He possesses more musical talent in his pinky than hip hop does in its entirety.
I still have my Mighty Mite guitar body that his M1 is built from. And that black box is the magnetic coupler for a Sustaniac harmonic generator. I also still have mine lol.
So....just what exactly is the "Secret black box" on the back of the headstock? 😕
It is the magnet for a Sustainiac Model B. The transducer attaches to it. Used to have one, really cool device.
Shit! He probably couldn't get Triple AAA to help @ that time. 2 am, transmission in yer car goes, and have to drive in reverse to get home? And get shot by Homies? DAMN!!! And he's a Platinum Recording Artist!! WOW!!
2:32 George Lynch drinks Grolsch? That’s awesome.
He's awesome! Scary about the bullet hole!!!
He had "Bullets To Spare"!🎼🎶🎵🔫
c he gets it. a man and his guitar.
either that or it just hangs from the headstock down to the pedal.. its not really something you would use live, its more for studio-situations(Live you would probably use real feedback instead.).
If you saw it up close, you'd run away. It's checked so horribly. It now has a new neck with a Brahma head stock & a Rosewood fret board
I still have that issue as well , i have most GW issues from the 90s.
at :18, does anybody know what that box is mounted on the back of the peghead?
Some old P2P biker dope.

+Tempest Fury That guy is the roots of Jackson guitars, I think. Not sure at all.

he's from Dokken, right? Seems pretty cool and not stuck in the 80s like other guitarists.
Oh yeah. Don had the last name, but George was Dokken
Ummm yes.. He's from DOKKEN....
If Snake Pliskin shredded...
and had both eyes still.
Does anyone know the neck specs on this?
Fret size and neck thickness on 1st, 12th frets??
WHATS IN THE BOX
how do you wire it up like that? do you have a wire running down the guitar neck?
Smooth dude
Why did they decide doing this interview under the shroud of darkness was a good idea? Was George in the witness protection program?
wow.in 1978??..amazing.awesome!
Great story !
Black Pantera ? Oh Hell Yeah !
It's probably the wrenches for the bridge and locking system
I love guns n guitar story...ur a true living legend,, Mr Scary
I wanna hear the guitar lol
probably has the allen wrenches
what is that big black block on the back of the headstock?
He jokingly said all of my wives, how many times of marriage, and alcohol, drugs, smoke?
He WAS on wife number 5 like 🤔, 15 plus years ago when seeing him at his guitar clinics back then
@@jamescon55 that would explain why today, at close to 70 years old, he doesn’t have a wedding ring on, he’s had his heart broken to much, lol

Take it out on Hagar🤣
and possibly guitar picks :OP
If that's his original one from the 80s, it's a shame the original neck isn't on it. Trivia question: what was the original neck on it?
A Charvel neck!!!! 😲😯 Just a guess!!!!😃
🌠👍🌠
Imagine having to drive in reverse in a Pantera! LOL! Can't see for shit!

Yep.

yeah but what IS it?
Shit, I didnt know he was a hero too?
Never heard Mr Scary?
I've touched that guitar. Who cares? Me. :)
Oh my God, they could have killer George!!!! Holy crap! I need to find him and give him a hug.

It's a feed for his Sustainiac,the wire runs inside the neck.
It's his chewing gum Box, Listen he says it in the video!
I call bullshit!!!!
George tells the best stories too. All lies, but they're vert creative.
lies? ok then
