ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Ripped Guitar – Purple Fade Satin (B-Stock)

The ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Ripped signature guitar captures the legacy of the late Children of Bodom frontman. Featuring an offset V shape with neck-thru-body construction at 25.5” scale, it combines fast playability with aggressive tonal versatility.

It boasts a three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck with natural satin finish, alder body wings, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard scalloped from frets 19-24 with 24 extra-jumbo frets, sawtooth inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side markers.

The Alexi Ripped is the first Alexi Laiho signature guitar with multiple pickups: an EMG HZ F-H2 humbucker in the bridge for high-gain punch and an EMG HZ S2 stacked single coil in the neck for mid-rich clarity. Other premium components include Grover tuners, double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and chrome hardware with volume control and inset three-way pickup selector. The guitar comes in striking Purple Fade Satin with “ripped” black pinstripes and includes the V-Alexi Guitar Form-Fit ESP hardshell case.

B-Stock Notice: This B-Stock unit has been fully inspected and tested. Minor cosmetic imperfections may be present but do not affect playability or tone.
