Signature electric guitar with passive EMG pickups and Floyd Rose tremolo, including case
The ESP LTD Alexi Ripped is one of the last instruments that the string magician from Finland, who died much too young, designed together with the Japanese guitar company and is also the first Laiho Signature with two pickups. The Signature guitar comes in the typical SV design in beautiful purple fade Finish with ripped pinstripes and convinces with excellent playing characteristics for light-fast solos. A passive EMG H2 humbucker in bridge position and the EMG S2 single coil promise a flexible sound that ranges from sparkling cleans to offensive high gain Distortion. As a real shredder guitar the LTD Alexi Ripped naturally is completed by a Floyd Rose Double-Locking Tremolo.
The ESP LTD Alexi Ripped promises agile playing characteristics and flexible sounds for virtuoso metal players.

SV Design with excellent handling
The LTD Alexi Ripped is based on Alexi Laiho's preferred SV design and offers excellent playing characteristics for virtuoso shredding in all positions. The Thin-U profilemaple through-neck fits comfortably in the hand and promises agile handling of the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard, which also features scalloping from the 19thfret. To ensure that every note is hit safely even in poor stage lighting, not only large Sawtooth inlays mark the positions, but also fluorescent side dots. In addition, alder body wings complete the electric guitar.
Flexible sound and Floyd Rose tremolo
With the passive EMG H2 humbucker on the bridge and the equally passive EMG S2 single coil on the neck, the ESP LTD Alexi Ripped delivers a surprisingly flexible sound that encompasses crystal-clear sparkling cleans as well as offensive high-gain distortion. Even with drop tunings and fast attack, every note is heard with razor-sharp precision. Both pickups are controlled straightforwardly via volume control and 3-way switch. To decorate solos with screeching dive bombs and squeals, the LTD Alexi Ripped is equipped with an extremely tuning stable Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double-Locking Tremolo.
