In this video, Alexi shows his gear.

The first japan-made Alexi model.

Katakana (originally there were 10 made for the Finnish market, now available in a STD version) Black with yellow pinstripes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 frets with pearl sawtooth inlays katakana (Japanese letter) inlays in the 12 fret which spelled "Alexi", gold hardware with larger cutaway, frets 21–24 scalloped.

Matte black with gloss black pinstripes black pearl sawtooth inlays, frets 20–24 scalloped, black nickel hardware with larger cutaway.

Allu used Jacksons in the late 90s, until they got stolen in 2003. He had one 24 fret custom shop RR with Wildchild sticker and one "Stone" RR with white pinstripes. The black one with green pinstripes that was seen on tours with taped headstock is said to be one of Roope Latvala's Jacksons. He supposedly borrowed the guitar from Latvala, but apparently the neck broke on tour. There isn't solid evidence about this though. He did not use RR2073 ever.

(The RR2074 was a black custom shop RR from 1987 with white bevels, gold hardware, 22 frets, single J50BC pickup in bridge, one volume. It was ordererd together with Roope Latvala's RR2073 by Jiri Jalkanen, both guitarists of Stone. There's a word that Jalkanen sold his to Laiho, but no hard evidence or pictures of Laiho playing RR2074. However, RR2073 was Roope Latvala's custom order with 22 frets and it was later sold to a Finnish guitarist http://www.jacksonguitarpalace.com/RR2073/ , http://www.jacksonguitarpalace.com/RR2074/index.htm)

Allu recorded Something Wild with this, used it in 1997.

Alexi has stated his pick of choice in several interviews and demos. This is just one example (0:53 into the video), taken from his set of instructive DVDs for Rock House Method titled "Melodic Speed Shred & Metal Guitar". Here he can be heard saying "I use the Jim Dunlop Jazz III with the sharp tip, which is a cool thing; affects in the sound, it makes it more mean, and affects in my fast picking a lot, too, it makes it more accurate".
