Developed for George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, Souls of the We), many think that the Screamin' Demon is going to be one hell of a high output humbucker. But as George explains in The Story of George Lynch's Screamin' Demon Humbucker, the opposite is the case. George discovered that a moderate output pickup was more suitable for sustain and playing dynamics.
