Product Description

The ESP E-II Alexi Ripped is among one of the last guitars to be designed by the late Children of Bodom/Bodom After Midnight frontman, Alexi Laiho. Built in the ESP factory in Japan and forming part of the Alexi Laiho Signature Series, the Alexi Ripped is a high octane, no nonsense metal machine. Designed for professional players, the Alexi Ripped is loaded with premium features including EMG pickups, an original Floyd Rose locking tremolo and an active boost circuit with up to 18db of boost on hand!

Construction

The E-II Alexi Ripped features an iconic offset V shaped Alder body with Alder wings for a focussed mid range tone, perfect for chunky metal riffs! The body is adorned in a Purple Fade satin finish with ripped pinstripes for a ferociously unique look. Featuring a neck-through-body design, the Alexi Ripped offers unparalleled access to the upper frets as well as exceptional sustain.

The 3-piece Maple neck has a thin U profile for lighting fast runs and the satin finish delivers incredible playability. The fingerboard is made from Ebony which has a snappy quality that is favoured by metal guitarists. It features 24 extra-jumbo frets allowing for extreme string bends and between frets 19 and 24, the fingerboard is actually scalloped. Scalloped fingerboards allow for better grip on the strings whilst bending, and enable the player to actually push the strings on their vertical axis for some interesting pitch bending effects.

Electronics

The E-II Alexi Ripped is loaded with a set of snarling EMG pickups, a brand that is synonymous with heavy metal music. In the bridge position is an EMG HZ F-H2 passive humbucker, a ceramic high-gain pickup that offers excellent presence and clarity with a punchy response. In the neck position, you'll find an EMG HZ S2 passive stacked single coil which delivers plenty of mids with a clear and full low end.

The Alexi Ripped also includes an ESP MM-04 active boost switch, a preamp circuit with adjustable EQ settings and up to +18dB of boost, offering up a plethora of tonal options.

Hardware

The made in Japan E-II Alexi Ripped boasts high end components from every angle. At the top is a set of Gotoh Locking tuners for fast string changes and rock solid tuning stability. At the other end is an original double locking Floyd Rose tremolo which delivers perfect tuning and intonation no mater how punishing your playing gets! The Alexi Ripped also comes with a set of ESP strap locks so you won't have to worry about dropping it when you're thrashing out on stage!
