Gus G takes a tour of the Seymour Duncan Factory

While best known for his fretboard pyrotechnics in the Greek metal band Firewind, axe man Gus G. is about to blow up big time on the world stage. He recently accepted lead guitar duties with the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. The lineage of Ozzy's guitarists includes the legendary Randy Rhodes, Jake E. Lee, and most recently Zakk Wylde. And the tones emanating from Gus' guitars come courtesy of Seymour Duncan. Gus uses passive pickups in his ESP® signature model (Duncan Distortion and '59), but his Eclipses rely on Original Blackouts for the heavy duty fire power.

Recently Gus stopped by the Seymour Duncan factory for a tour and to meet the crew. He had a chance to hang out with Seymour, wind a pickup with Maricela Juarez, discuss the unique tonality of Blackouts with their designer Kevin Beller, and talk with Evan Skopp about the future for this up and coming guitar virtuoso.
