ESP LTD Signature Alexi Laiho Ripped Purple Fade Satin

What we say:

At A Glance:

The ESP LTD Signature Alexi Laiho Ripped in Purple Fade Satin was one of the final guitar designs from the late, great guitarist that inspired so many. Through his genre-defining playing, the Children of Bodom/Bodom After Midnight star changed metal music forever. It contains excellent features at a modest price and skillfully combines a high degree of functionality with tasteful looks and admirable performance. Whether you are a fan of his playing or are looking for a guitar designed for metal, this is well worth your time.

Features We Love:

Neck-Through-Body Construction

This method of construction offers excellent stability and natural resonance. The 3 piece maple neck is joined with alder body wings and the results speak for themselves.

Scalloped Frets

From the 19th to the 24th frets, Alexi opted for a scalloped fingerboard. Advantages include more fluent and accurate playing plus potential tonal benefits too. Shredders will no doubt love this!

EMG Pickups

This unique combination is something we really love. First of all, passive EMG pickups sound amazing. The pairing here is a humbucker and a stacked single coil, resulting in a natural sound with plenty of edge.

Highlights:

• Ready to go the distance thanks to the great hardware
• Perfect for metal guitarists looking to step up their game
• A stunning signature model from a highly influential figure
