George Lynch is one of the most recognizable names in the world of heavy metal guitar.  With a career spanning more than thirty years, George has recorded more than twenty albums, toured the entire globe many times, and is one of the most recognizable endorsees of the world's finest guitars and equipment.

Born on September 28, 1954 in Spokane, WA, George Lynch began learning to play guitar at the age of 10.  A naturally gifted musician, his guitar playing quickly progressed and became a creative outlet for him during his teenage years performing with several bands, most notably Sergeant Rocks.  In the late 1970s, George moved to Los Angeles where he formed two bands, The Boyz and Xciter.  With Xciter, George's technical abilities and unique style was a very important draw to the band's fan base.  Playing in the L.A. club circuit, it was clear that he was already taking the necessary steps that would lead him to success in the 1980s and his partnership with legendary band Dokken.

When George Lynch joined Dokken in the early 1980's , success came very quickly.  As history proves, much of the band's album sales and credibility is the result of George Lynch's guitar abilities and songwriting.  With Dokken, Lynch recorded five albums from 1983 to 1988, all of which did remarkably well in the United States, Europe and Asia.  This worldwide success made George Lynch one of the most influential rock guitarists in modern music, even earning the band a Grammy nomination in 1989 for Best Rock Instrumental.  1989 was also the year that George parted ways with Dokken and began the new decade with a different approach ...enter the Lynch Mob.  By the early 1990s George had become a marquee guitar hero throughout  the world.  As a result, working with the Lynch Mob was a highly scrutinized and anticipated project.  In just three years, the Lynch Mob released two records and hit the road on two worldwide tours.  After the second tour's completion, Lynch took hiatus and retreated to the studio to craft his first solo recordings.

At present, George has been busy in the studio and on the road. George is always evolving as a musician. And with the George Lynch guitar legacy comes remarkable business opportunities.  Many musical instrument manufacturers consult with George creatively to produce equipment.  As a result, many quality products bear his name including the Eminence Lynch Super V12 guitar speaker.
