These symbols are Japanese Kanji script for "Kamikaze". You know; the fighter pilots who use their plane in a suicide attack. Translates as "Divine Wind". I believe the term came about after a typhoon destroyed a mongol invasion fleet heading for Japan in the 13th century. The Japanese believed that the typhoon was divine intervention. The name was then adopted by this group of fighter pilots who commited suicide by crashing their planes into the American Fleet in the Pacific in an effort to defend Japan during WWII.

That's what I thought it means. The guitar model is an ESP Kamikaze III George Lynch signature. Kamikaze translation would be the most obvious but I just wanted to make sure. I am working out the details now of buying that...
