Description

The ESP LTD Alexi Ripped Sawtooth is a fierce tribute to the unmistakable style and sound of Alexi Laiho. Built around his iconic offset V body shape this signature model combines aggressive looks with the high-performance feel demanded by fast modern metal playing. Its Purple Fade Satin finish with ripped black pinstripes creates a dramatic stage presence while neck-through-body construction gives the guitar massive sustain and smooth upper-fret access. Designed for speed precision and commanding live performance the Alexi Ripped Sawtooth captures the sharp aesthetic and explosive energy that defined Laihos legendary playing style. A three-piece maple neck with ESPs Thin U profile delivers an incredibly fast and comfortable playing experience while the Macassar ebony fingerboard keeps every note clear and articulate. Scalloping from frets 19-24 gives your fingers extra control for expressive lead playing and extreme bends while glow-in-the-dark side markers improve visibility under dark stage lighting. Dual passive EMG pickups provide crushing high-gain tones so riffs feel tight and solos cut through a mix. Combined with a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge Grover tuners and a locking nut the Alexi Ripped Sawtooth is built for total confidence.
