Originally an inexpensive George Lynch SGL signature model by ESP, purchased in 1987. After having it signed by Lynch himself in 1991, Senoue largely stopped playing the guitar, so in 1998 when SEGA wanted to put on a live performance of "Open Your Heart" at the Tokyo International Forum, Senoue had it customized and repainted for the event. Originally had an LH-200 pickup in the bridge position and a Power Rail in the neck, changed to a Seymour Duncan TB-4 and a Schecter Monstertone respectively. https://mixi.jp/view_bbs.pl?comm_id=224453&id=14611908
