"ESP Kamikaze" is a guitar model distributed by ESP.

The Kamikaze was created when George Lynch entered an ESP shop in Tokyo while on tour looking for a replacement neck. He learned that ESP also made custom guitars, so he created the Kamikaze.

The Kamikaze was the first guitar in ESP's Signature Series.

Different Models

Kamikaze I- Original kamikaze model with black/tan/yellow/red color scheme, ebony fretboard, maple body and neck. George Lynch's original did not have a recess cavity for the tremolo system, but it is recessed on the ESP signature Series.

Kamikaze II- Same specs as the Kamikaze I with a blue/red/white color scheme, the Kamikaze II was the first kamikaze model, and therefore the first signature series guitar, that ESP has put on the market.

Kamikaze III- Same as others with a White/black/tan color scheme.

Kamikaze IV- much different from the other models with a fluorescent color scheme, reverse sawtooth headstock (as opposed to a reverse banana). This guitar has similar woods to a les paul (maple top on mahogany body) unlike les pauls, and other Kamikaze models, this guitar has a maple fretboard instead of ebony.
