ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Ripped Pinstripes Purple Fade Satin B-Stock
The ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Ripped anchors your hand with an offset V neck-thru-body platform engineered for speed and stability across aggressive playing positions. Built around a thin U-shaped maple neck that channels the sonic legacy of Children of Bodom's frontman, this signature model packs premium components purpose-built for high-gain metal and technical lead work. B-Stock condition means unplayed with minor cosmetic blemishes—smart economics for players who prioritize feel and function over pristine aesthetics.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale neck-thru-body construction with three-piece maple neck locks in the stability and sustain that metal players depend on for long sets and studio sessions, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard scalloped from frets 19-24 responds to your touch with enhanced control for expressive bending and vibrato work. 24 extra-jumbo frets with sawtooth inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers keep your hand sharp and your position visible under stage lights during the most demanding passages.
Tone & Electronics
The dual passive EMG pickup set—EMG HZ F-H2 humbucker at the bridge delivering high-gain punch and EMG HZ S2 stacked single coil at the neck offering mid-rich clarity—gives you tonal range across the aggression spectrum. The double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 bridge locks in your tuning through radical pitch shifts and dive bombs, while Grover tuners and chrome hardware keep your rig reliable night after night and session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and unplayed, but has minor cosmetic blemishes from inventory handling. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and high-gain playing?
Yes. The neck-thru-body construction, scalloped ebony fingerboard, and dual EMG passives are engineered specifically for metal, thrash, djent, and progressive hard rock, delivering high-gain aggression with tight sustain and articulate leads.
How does the Floyd Rose bridge help during performance?
The double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 maintains tuning stability even during radical pitch shifts and aggressive tremolo use, critical for demanding live performances and studio takes.
What makes the neck feel fast and comfortable for lead work?
The thin U-shaped maple neck with a 25.5-inch scale provides stability in aggressive playing positions, while the scalloped frets from frets 19-24 offer enhanced control for bending and vibrato without hand fatigue.
Will the glow-in-the-dark side markers help on stage?
Yes. The glow-in-the-dark fret markers ensure visibility during live performances in low-light conditions, helping you navigate the neck quickly during technical passages.
