ALMOST LIKE NEW. The guitar has obviously been played very little and has remained in an excellent condition. Apart from an impression on the upper horn (see pictures), there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument. The guitar has no technical issues. The frets are like new. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- A classic, high quality ESP Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom) signature model, the Blacky. An instrument with absolutely professional features and an outstanding price-quality relation.
- Finish: Metallic Black Satin with gloss black pin stripe & "COBHC" logo on the back. With black nickel hardware. With black pearloid bindings overall (body, neck and headstock) - a very noble looking instrument!
- Body: Alder - for best resonance, especially on distorted sounds.
- Neck: Maple. Neck-thru-body construction - this enables a very good sustain, and a super easy access to the upper frets.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Ebony, with ESP Custom „Saw Tooth“ inlays.
- Frets: 24, XJ (Jumbo) - with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.
- Nut: FR Locking, 42mm.
- Headstock: ESP M-Style, matching the body color.
- Tuners: Original Gotoh.
- Bridge: Original Floyd Rose tremolo - stays perfectly in tune.
- Pickups: 1x EMG HZ-FH2 humbucker with MM-04 preamp booster - delivering all the aggression, high gain and solid tone that Alexi Laiho is well known for, but offering lots of versatility and clarity as well.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 1x volume, MM-02 on-off switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes in a high-quality original ESP formfit hardcase with ESP logo.
