Description
The ESP E-II Alexi Wild Scythe Electric Guitar is another addition to Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho’s ESP Signature Series. The alder body is extremely lightweight and provides a comfortable and smooth playing experience. The 3-piece maple neck provides an incredibly bright and clear sound which is amplified by the passive EMG HZ-FH2 humbucker and the active MM-04 preamp boost, which produce a punchy and powerful sound. Finished with a striking ‘I Worship Chaos’ graphic, the offset V shape body has the ultimate metal appearance for hardcore fans and players. The E-II includes a hardshell case to keep your axe safe and protected.
STRIKING, STAND-OUT APPEARANCE
The offset V body shape screams heavy metal at first glance, and features artwork from Children of Bodom’s album ‘I Worship Chaos’. The finish on the back is black with red pinstripes and ‘Wild Scythe’ written in contrasting red. The incredible, striking artwork on this ESP guitar gives it a stand out appearance and makes it a great collectors piece.
COMFORTABLE PLAYING EXPERIENCE
The Wild Scythe also features a smooth maple neck, coupled with an ebony fingerboard, allowing you to easily glide between the frets for fast playing like Alexi himself. Frets 20 to 24 are scalloped, enabling easier grip on the strings and more comfort. With a lightweight alder body and neck through construction, this signature Alexi Lahio guitar provides the ultimate comfort.
