Alexi Laiho, a visionary who brought melody and flamboyance to metal music in the post-grunge and nu-metal eras, was one of the world’s most beloved and influential personalities in metal music. In Alexi’s remembrance, ESP has launched the final guitars created by the Children of Bodom/Bodom After Midnight frontman, which carry on his legacy adding to his Signature Series with the E-II Alexi Ripped, LTD Alexi Hexed, and LTD Alexi Ripped.

The E-II Alexi Ripped is offered in an offset V shape with neck-thru-body construction at a 25.5” scale.
