Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho is the leader and guitarist of Bodom After Midnight. Deceased in 2020, the Finnish shredder leaves a rich legacy of frenzied solos and chiseled metal riffs with unique brutality. Alexi joined ESP in 2002, when he was a promising young musician. In 2006, ESP made its partnership with the artist official by unveiling its first signature model.
Based on the SV, his signature model will speak to all fans of Randy Rhoads and aggressive and... "sharp" guitars! Metal-oriented guitar, this singular model with unique curves is impressive. Reduced weight, sharpened contours, slightly reworked body for easy access to treble and overall comfort, the Custom Shop Alexi has an ultra-fast and comfortable neck, it is a reference for shredders of all stripes.
Entirely handcrafted in the Custom Shop Japan, it represents the pinnacle of what the brand can produce thanks to the exceptional attention to detail it enjoys.
This "Ripped" model benefits from an implacable selection of species and the unequaled know-how of the brand's Custom Shop. At present it takes a year to wait for an equivalent model. The Alexi Ripped is built around an ultra-light alder body and a maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. It boasts a Purple Fade w/ Pinstripe finish and EMG pickups.
