About This Listing

Unfortunately the neck on this guitar has a bit of a forward bow and the truss rod is maxed in that direction. The setup is poor in its current condition and there is a bit of buzzing at the nut, as well as high action. This guitar is being sold as-is, in poor condition with no guarantees made on the neck or setup. 

The GSE-280T is a super rare and uncommon variant of the George Lynch signature guitars with its distinctive purple tiger finish. This model is presumably from the late 1980's but records are pretty non-existent from around that time.  

This guitar shows a few signs of cosmetic wear from over the years such as scratches and dents on the body and some noticeable wear along the back of the neck and headstock. There is what looks to be either a crack or gouge in the back of the neck. 

The original Floyd Rose was swapped out for a newer German made Floyd Rose bridge as the old one had a lot of oxidation. The original bridge is included. The neck and nut both currently have a shim. The nut is original, but the locking pieces are not. The springs have been replaced. This guitar currently has 11s on it. The setup is poor and will need major attention before serious use. 

Includes the pictured ESP gig bag.
