Product Description
The ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Arrowhead SE 20th Anniversary is a razor-sharp, high-performance metal machine built to honour one of the most influential shredders of modern times. With its aggressive V-style Arrowhead body, neck-thru construction, Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo and a single EMG HZ FH-2 humbucker, this guitar is engineered for blistering leads, rapid-fire riffing and uncompromising stage presence.
Every element of the Arrowhead SE is tailored to fast, precise playing. The Thin U neck profile, extra-jumbo frets and Macassar ebony fingerboard combine to deliver a slick, effortless feel under the fingers, while the scalloped upper frets open the door to extreme bends and expressive vibrato high up the neck. Finished in black with striking yellow bevels and accented by gold hardware, it captures Alexi Laiho’s iconic aesthetic in a focused, no-nonsense package.
Whether you are channelling neo-classical runs, tight rhythm work or searing solos, the Arrowhead SE keeps up with ease. The passive EMG HZ FH-2 bridge pickup provides tight low end, articulate mids and cutting highs that stay defined under high gain, while the simple single-volume control layout keeps you locked into the performance without distraction. This is a purpose-built instrument for players who want speed, clarity and attitude in equal measure.
With its neck-thru alder and maple construction, locking nut and Grover tuners, the Arrowhead SE delivers the stability and sustain demanded by modern metal. If you are looking for a dedicated weapon that captures the spirit of Alexi’s legendary tone and feel, this 20th Anniversary signature model is built to take centre stage.
High-Speed Neck-Thru Construction
The Arrowhead SE features a neck-thru design with a three-piece maple neck running the full length of the alder body. This construction offers exceptional sustain and resonance, with smooth, unhindered access to the highest frets. It also provides a solid, stable platform for aggressive playing and heavy string attack.
Scalloped Upper Frets for Extreme Lead Work
From frets 19 to 24, the Macassar ebony fingerboard is scalloped, removing wood between the frets so your fingers only contact the strings. This makes bends, vibrato and fast legato lines feel incredibly light and responsive, perfect for expressive soloing and the kind of high-register pyrotechnics Alexi was known for.
Floyd Rose 1000 Tremolo with Locking Nut
Equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo and a locking nut, the Arrowhead SE is ready for divebombs, flutters and wild pitch effects while maintaining tuning stability. Once locked in, your strings stay secure, allowing you to perform extreme tremolo techniques with confidence.
EMG HZ FH-2 Bridge Humbucker
The single EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker in the bridge position delivers tight, punchy tone with plenty of output for high-gain amps. Its focused low end and cutting top ensure riffs stay defined and solos slice through the mix, while the simple volume-only control layout keeps your sound direct and immediate.
Features
- Neck-Thru Alder Body with 3-Piece Maple Neck - Neck-thru construction enhances sustain and resonance, while the alder body and maple neck provide a balanced, articulate tonal foundation that suits tight rhythm work and soaring leads.
- Macassar Ebony Fingerboard with Scalloped 19th to 24th Frets - The smooth ebony surface and extra-jumbo frets offer a fast, precise feel, and the scalloped upper frets make high-register bends and vibrato easier and more expressive.
- Floyd Rose 1000 Tremolo and Locking Nut - The double-locking system keeps your tuning stable even under extreme tremolo use, so you can perform divebombs and pitch tricks without worrying about your strings slipping out of tune.
- EMG HZ FH-2 Passive Bridge Pickup - This high-output humbucker delivers tight lows, clear mids and a cutting high end that stays defined under heavy distortion, making it ideal for modern metal tones with plenty of attack.
