J Frog Guitars Home

Johnny "J. Frog" Garcia is the very talented artist, designer & personal friend who conceived and  created the original George Lynch Skull N' Bones Guitars. Everyone  knows about the ESP Korean made copies of the original guitars that rode to fame on the coat tails of the J. Frog designed guitar. Johnny also did Mark Kendall's Great White Shark Guitar. George Lynch's original famous 3D Skull N' Bones Made in  J. Frog's Custom Shop.

Time Line Early 80's

Dokken was back in L.A. from a successful world tour and they were preparing to do the video which would eventually make the J. Frog 3D Skull n' Bones Guitars world famous. Present at the Video Shoot were the members of the band, J. Frog himself, The director, camera and lighting crews. Just before the shoot a representative from the Japanese ESP guitar company showed up and affixed an ESP sticker to the headstock. Johnny wasn't very pleased but the ESP representative insisted that George advertise for them or they would not allow the guitar to be used in the video. Since that time many other companies have used ideas and concepts from the creative mind of J. Frog.

J. Frog had been pursuing his other career as a successful Hollywood makeup and Special FX Artist. He has worked with most of the Los Angeles hair band scene metal acts from Guns & Roses, Great White, Dokken, Ratt and of course George Lynch. He has also worked on many Hollywood horror flicks.

Timeline Late 80's

J. Frog built both Shark guitars for Mark Kendall of Great White. Mark went on to feature those guitars on videos and stages all over the world. Even though many people think that BC Rich created those guitars that is also a falsehood. John hand carved both the Shark guitars.
