This ESP Alexi Ripped in Purple Fade Satin with Ripped Pinstripes (Serial #E4511232) is the signature model of the late Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom. It’s a used guitar in mint condition. The offset V body is alder, finished in a satin purple fade with the torn pinstripe graphic that gives the model its name. The headstock is finished to match and carries the ESP logo and Alexi Laiho’s signature. It weighs 8.02 lb.
The maple neck has a Thin U carve (20mm at the 1st fret, 22mm at the 12th) and a satin finish that stays fast under a sweaty hand. It’s a set neck with a sculpted heel, so you can reach the top frets without fighting the body. The ebony fretboard has white binding, sawtooth inlays, a 305mm (12") radius, and 24 extra jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale. The nut is 42mm wide. A Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo and locking nut keep it in tune through dive bombs and wide-interval whammy work. Gotoh locking tuners and chrome hardware finish it off.
The pickups are an EMG HZ FH-2 humbucker in the bridge and an EMG HS S2 in the neck. Controls are a master volume, a pickup selector toggle, and a switch for the ESP MM-04 active boost. The boost adds extra gain and push when you step into a solo. That covers tight, aggressive rhythm tones, fast lead runs that stay clear under heavy gain, and a cleaner neck voice for melodic passages. Whether you’re a melodic death metal player, a shred guitarist working on neoclassical runs, or a Children of Bodom fan who wants Alexi’s own spec, the Alexi Ripped fits right in. It shows little to no wear. This one (Serial #E4511232) comes with its original ESP hardshell case. Order today from Brian’s Guitars.
