ESP LTD Alexi Ripped Electric Guitar. Sawtooth Purple Fade w/Ripped Pinstripes

The LTD Alexi Ripped is a stunning tribute to the legacy of Alexi Laiho, the legendary frontman of Children of Bodom/Bodom After Midnight. Among the final guitars designed by Laiho, the Alexi Ripped delivers exceptional performance, groundbreaking versatility, and an unmistakable style. This model is the first in the Alexi Laiho Signature Series to feature dual pickups, adding tonal variety to the mix.

Built with neck-thru-body construction and a 25.5” scale, the LTD Alexi Ripped features a lightweight alder body paired with a fast, smooth three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck with a natural satin finish. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is scalloped from frets 19-24 and boasts sawtooth inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, ensuring precision even in dimly lit settings. The guitar’s Purple Fade Satin finish with black satin “ripped” pinstripes exudes a bold, modern aesthetic.

For tone, the Alexi Ripped includes an EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker in the bridge position, delivering high-gain clarity and punch, and an EMG HZ S2 passive stacked single coil in the neck for balanced mids and full low end. Additional features include a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge for dive-bombing stability, Grover tuners, and a streamlined control layout with a volume knob and inset three-way pickup selector.
