Rig Rundown: Jake E. Lee

The 6-string lycanthrope behind Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon shares the blisteringly loud setup used to power his new band, Red Dragon Cartel.

Jake E. Lee is best known for rocking white Charvels and his current signature model carries on that tradition.

All of his guitars are strung with DR Strings .010–.046 sets.
