Introducing the ESP E-II Alexi Ripped Electric Guitar - Purple Fade Satin, an unmatched tribute to legendary Children of Bodom frontman, Alexi Laiho. This unique guitar, designed in collaboration with Laiho, is a testament to his boundary-pushing metal virtuosity. The Purple Fade Satin finish, paired with "ripped" pinstripes, gives this guitar an aggressive, striking look, while the offset "V" shape exudes pure rock aesthetics.

The guitar's EMG Hz F-H2 humbucking pickup and EMG Hz S2 stacked single-coil pickup work in perfect harmony to deliver high-gain tones with astonishing clarity and traditional S-style tones by the truckload. It's also equipped with an ESP MM-04 preamp circuit, ensuring each note you play, fast or slow, is delivered with clear, powerful impact.

The 3-piece Thin "U"-shaped maple neck and 24-fret ebony fingerboard, scalloped from frets 19-24, ensure smooth playability and plenty of snap. The guitar also features neck-thru-body construction for maximum sustain, and a Floyd Rose Original tremolo system and Gotoh locking tuners for stable, pitch-perfect performance.
