Boot-Leg / ESP SexMachineGuns Anchang Model

と, 言うことでジョージ先生の最近はまっているトーン。いかがでしょうか？　テレキャスターからノイズのあるデストーション・ペダルへ。すさまじい叫びですよね。このアルバムでは使われていないですか最近日本で手に入れたSexMachineGunsのギタリスト、Anchangモデルのペダルにはまっているとか。人生面白いんもんですよね。あれだけのリンチ・フリークのAnchang. 彼のシグネチャー・モデルのペダルを逆にジョージが好んで使っているとは。Gerry George’s guitar tech was telling me that he recently picked up a new pedal while visiting Japan called the Andora’s Box created by Boot-Leg and ESP for SexMachineGuns Guitarist Anchang. While I was in Tokyo I visited ESP in Shibuya. They had the last 4. You know who has a killer pedal collection? Jake E. Lee. Where are you Jake?

New Recording Device "MIKEY"

I have been looking for a super portable recording device that can be used in tight situations (in the PIT). I borrowed my friends little device produced by a company called, Blue. I took this MIKEY, along with me to a show in Santa Clara CA on Thursday to see Lizzy Borden. Had my Flip MinoHD in one hand and MIKEY connected to my iTouch in the other. (position: stage right leaning on the stage) Unfortunately, even with the lowest mic gain setting, the audio did not turn out well. Lets just say, total distortion. This is the original MIKEY, and the NEW MIKEY will be available sometime this year. Hope the new version has more settings.

Guitar Project Begins Today

I sent off the Photoshopped 'CHIAKI Brand Prototype", image of the guitar to Dan Lawrence in Los Angeles last month. He likes the design and gave me the thumbs up. I have spent the last month looking for a luthier that can actually build me a body and neck to my specs. We all know what we like in terms of the feel of the neck and the body, but I needed someone that can translate that into actual dimensions. The radius the nut width, the exact measurements of the neck etc. etc. I think I found the perfect man that can become a huge part of this project. A small door to a huge Future LOL! 一月かけてやっとギターのボデーとネックを作ってくれる人物を見つけ上げる事が出来ました。去年の１１月にロスに在住する７０年代から数多くのミュージシャンのギター＆ベース・グラフィックを塗って来た男にデザインを送り話を進めて来ました。彼は　Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Warren De Martini, Slash, Zakk, Zappa....... と取りあえずMTVでおなじみのギターをすべて塗って来た人物です。そのダン・ローレンンス氏に今回のプロジェクト参加してもらいます。　今日からプロジェクト本格的に開始です。

Tokyo Skull T-Shirts

So, some people have been asking me about the Tokyo Skull T-shirts. I want to have them available for the public but, since they are not produced in mass quantities, the price is just too high. If anyone knows of a place in the SF BayArea that can make quality shirts for under $15, please let me know. For now here are some recent one-off Tee's made for Zakk Wylde and Nick Catanese. Not sure if they will ever wear the Shirts but, at least I was able to present them with the Tokyo Skull. BLS is a machine. Tokyo Skull is a Machine. Why is it called the Tokyo Skull? Check out the Rising Sun peeking from the top of Mt. Fuji, as the water falls through the neck of Skullage. The design was drawn in April of 2008. Sitting by my Mother's Tea table in Oyamadai Tokyo Japan. Mt. Fuji was glowing while the Cherry Blossoms were dropping all over the busy streets of Tokyo. I will never forget that moment. The beauty of my Homeland. It was a Moment to die for.

The next one will be made for Gerry Ganaden. George Lynch's infamous guitar tech. Can't say enough about the knowledge and the passion he has for gear. I call him, George's Left Ear. I think George trust's Gerry's ear more than his own at this point. George Lynch has three of my shirts. The first, "Mr. Scary" the second "Tiger (written in Kanji)", and the third," Soul (written in Kanji)". All shirts are individually numbered, located under the Tokyo Skull Logo. I still dream of the day that my shirt accidentally ends up on the cover of the Young Guitar Magazine. Young Guitar is a Japanese Magazine published by Shinko Music. Its the most detailed guitar magazine in the World. Just love that Mag!! Enough said. BTW George Lynch is on the cover of the December issue with his 20th Anniversary ESP Kamikaze.

Zakk Wylde (BLS, Ozzy Osbourne)

George Lynch (Lynch Mob, Dokken, SoW)

Rob De Luca (Sebastian Bach, UFO)

Nick Catanese (BLS, Speed X)

Joe Satriani (Chicken Foot, Deep Purple)

Ted Aguilar (Death Angel, Scare Crow)

Rob Cavestany (Death Angel)

Jason Wittle (Goad-ed)

Dave Rude (Tesla, Dave Rude Band)

Masayuki Osada (Concerto Moon)

Can you get any closer than this! Mr. Scary Guitar

You can't get any closer then this. Its the real deal. Lynch's Skull n' Bones guitar crafted by ESP Guitars for George. Its actually lighter than it looks. This one was carved out by a CNC machine. The original one had Cherry Wood additions added onto an Alder body. There is a whole story behind this guitar. Gerry Ganaden talked about the original J. Frog guitar and then some. Hope to up a Metal Moment Podcast Episode in the near future. I'll call it the Skull's n' Bones Special!　ジョージ・リンチ本人のスカル・アンド・ボーンズのESPギターです。皆様にメタル・モーメント・ポッドキャスト スペシャルエピソードをお届けします。お楽しみに。
