Product Description

The ESP LTD Alexi Ripped is among one of the last guitars to be designed by the late Children of Bodom/Bodom After Midnight frontman, Alexi Laiho. Forming part of the Alexi Laiho Signature Series, the Alexi Ripped is a high octane, no nonsense metal machine. The LTD Alexi Ripped model is loaded with premium features including EMG pickups and a Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo and comes in a deluxe ESP hardshell case!

Construction

The LTD 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 Macassar 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 LTD 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. When it comes to controls, the Alexi Ripped keeps things simple with just a master volume and a 3-way pickup selector.

Hardware

The LTD Alexi Ripped boasts high end components from every angle. At the top is a set of legendary Grover tuners for rock solid tuning stability. At the other end is a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo which delivers perfect tuning and intonation no mater how punishing your playing gets!
