It does not get better for the 80's Metal Heads!

Sound	The body is made out of maple which gives it a very distinct resonance and tone, the Seymour Duncan screemin' demon helps out quite a bit too which gived the sound more bite. I play this beast through a Peavey JSX half stack and a Boss GT-8 for all the non distorted effects. I have all my Lynch guitars set up with 9 gauge strings and tune them to Eb which help to get that punchy 80's Dokken sound. The neck pick up is an ESP brand and it's ok but I recommend a Seymour Duncan lil screamin' demon foe the neck as well to have an equal balance of power and volume without the hum.
Action, Fit, & Finish	The factory set up was ok but like with all new guitars it is always best to tweak to your liking but it played resonably well out of the box. The guitar is very solid and Heavy and I have no craftmanship complaints.
Reliability & Durability	I have used my Kamies and at shows and I can assure you they are solid and provide very good tuning stability rarely do I have to pick up a back up because it went out of tune. Like all guitars it can wear and scratch if you are a slob but if you take care of them you can play them hard without any fear.
Customer Support	Called ESP about a custom once and they were the most helpful people I've dealt with, however I have never had to call them about warrnty issues! (which is good)

Liked about it	1)Thing I like about is the the graphics and the 80's look all over it. 2)The sound is thick and can make the Dokken stuff sound very well. (through the right amp and hands) 3)It's the George Lynch signature man!!!
Didn't like	1)I wish I could get a 24 fret version. 2)poor choice of neck pup for the price you're paying 3)If you are buying it brand new they are expensive
