Description

The ESP Alexi Laiho White w/Black Pinstripe is a Signature guitar for the frontman of Finnish melodic death metal superstars Children of Bodom. Made by hand, one at a time, by the world-renowned luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, the ESP Alexi Laiho is designed for pure performance. It’s an offset V-shaped guitar with neck-thru-body construction. It pairs a comfortable alder body with a fast and smooth three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck, with an ebony fingerboard that features 24 extra-jumbo frets and sawtooth triangle inlays that glow in the dark. The ESP Alexi Laiho has EMG HZ H4 pickup. Other premier components include a Floyd Rose bridge and Gotoh tuners.

EMG H4
The H4 is EMG’s best selling passive humbucker for guitar. Combining the power of our active 81 with the soul of a passive PAF, this pickup produces a well balanced tone, with tight bass response, glassy mids, and crunchy highs. These tonal features are achieved by utilizing over wound coils loaded with ceramic bar magnets that are fully shielded to reduce noise. This high output pickup is often used in the bridge position where it shines with excellent range, responsiveness, and sweet harmonics. If you want a big rock or heavy modern guitar sound, this is the pickup for you.
