ESP LTD Alexi Ripped Sawtooth

Full Description

Signature Alexi Laiho Design

The ALEXI RIPPED SAWTOOTH captures the essence of Alexi Laiho’s signature style with its aggressive offset V shape and striking Purple Fade Satin finish. The black satin ripped pinstripes add a distinctive visual edge, making it a standout on any stage. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable playability while maintaining the bold aesthetic that defined Laiho’s legacy. The inclusion of glow-in-the-dark side markers enhances visibility, providing a practical and visually striking element to the design.

High-Performance Pickup Configuration

Equipped with dual EMG pickups, the guitar delivers a versatile and powerful tonal range. The EMG HZ F-H2 passive humbucker in the bridge position offers high-gain clarity with a punchy and articulate response, ideal for aggressive riffs and searing solos. Complementing it, the EMG HZ S2 passive stacked single coil in the neck position provides a rich midrange and full-bodied low end, ensuring a well-rounded sound for complex arrangements and lead work. This combination gives the flexibility to explore a wide range of metal tones with precision and depth.

Fast And Smooth Playability

Designed for speed and precision, the three-piece maple neck features a thin U profile and a natural satin finish for effortless hand movement across the fretboard. The Macassar ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive surface, with a scalloped design from frets 19-24 to facilitate intricate soloing and extreme bends. The extra-jumbo frets provide excellent control, making it easier to execute fast runs and complex techniques with confidence and ease.

Exceptional Tuning Stability

The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability and precise pitch control, even during aggressive dive bombs and heavy vibrato use. Its reliable construction allows for expressive performance without compromising tuning accuracy, making it an essential feature for demanding live shows and studio sessions. Coupled with Grover tuners and a locking nut, the guitar maintains optimal tension and consistency, giving the confidence to perform without interruptions.
