Overview
In 1985, George Lynch became one of ESP’s first Signature artists with the introduction of the original Kamikaze model. Over the subsequent 40+ years, ESP has worked with George to create many different renditions of the distinctive Kamikaze guitar… but the GL-200 Kami is perhaps the most unique of them all, due to its streamlined solid Black finish!
This guitar is perfect for anyone who loves the inimitable performance style of George Lynch, but perhaps wants a more understated look in their guitar graphics. Built with bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale, it features a basswood body and thin U-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and what is often referred to as a “hockey stick” reverse headstock as was featured on the original Kamikaze model. Components on the GL-200 Kami include matching black hardware, LTD tuners, a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge, and a set of ESP LH-150B (bridge) humbucker and an ESP LS-120 passive single coil pickups in the neck position.
- U-Shaped neck profile & 25.5” scale length
- Custom ESP pickups with HS configuration
- Double-locking Floyd Rose Special bridge
- Simple controls with 1 push/pull Volume knob
- “Hockey stick” reverse headstock
- LTD tuners & black hardware

I'm loving this guitar, sounds outstanding, real nice action. Had a few problems when I first got it though, the Floyd rose was never set up correctly the tremal bar was all floppy and the tremal was tightened up to tight it back was dive bombing into the back of the guitar, took a while of looking up how to fix these problems, but now it's great !!
