Re: ESP Rhoads... Children Of Bodom
I have no problem with Alexi playing ESP, or any other brand for that matter. I just don't like the proportions of that particular guitar.
As I said, it reminds me of KK's Hamer Vector (I think?). I'm sure that's more due to the pseudo-bevels. I don't mind the yellow at all, I've raved on numerous occasions about Alexi's old black-with-yellow-bevels Rhoads. But as James and a couple others here have pointed out, it looks like it has regular bevels (cool), but they've also painted a section inside the bevels yellow (not so cool). It makes the body look too short and too narrow. For my tastes anyway.
