I don't think anyone has posted this yet. If so, sorry for the double post.
I just saw this on the ESP overseas website.

Re: Alexi Laiho

I knew there was a topic about him switching to ESP. I just didn't read anywhere that ESP already has him on their website with two signature models.

Ok now that is just ****in' ugly. And by the way, why would anyone pay what is likely to be over $1,000 for a guitar equiped with EMG HZ pickups. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Alexi Laiho

Over a year of begging Kevin Easton and Jackson to set up Alexi and put him on the website..... now this [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Alexi Laiho

I actually like Ale's guitars, can't say the same for the Alexi's, those "Bevels" if you can even call them that, look horrible.

Re: Alexi Laiho

yeah both of Ale's guitars are awesome.. but Alexi's Rhoads look horrible imo.

Re: Alexi Laiho

I don't mind the white one but the blk and yellow one sucks , well the yellow sucks on it anyway ! and Greg you weren't the only one bugging Kevin to get Alexi and Ale on the endorsers list [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] //Steve

Re: Alexi Laiho

Alexi's ESPee bevels and pinstripes look like some old graphics Hamer used in the '80s. Jeez, they rip off Jackson Rhoads models with Hamer's artwork! [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A friend of mine contacted ESPee about Alexi's guitars, and they said that a similar custom would cost from $4,500 to $5,000 !!!!!

But the funny part is that Alexi is gonna place Jackson pickups in his ESPee. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Alexi Laiho

$4,500.00+, for that [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] How the hell does ESP sell any guitars. Oh yeah that's right, next month LTD will have two versions out in the $400-$800 range.

Re: Alexi Laiho

yeah ales new guitars look quite ok IMO.
but I think I won't really get used to alexis.

the headstock looks false on a rhoads body and those bevels simply suck.

I think the cutaway was necessary, if ou take a look at the fretboard you can see that it is m,ore on the body than on a rhoads.
somewhere around the 17 fret, I think it is around the 19th on a jackson?

this thing looks huge and uuhh... can'T tell it.


anyway, alexi rules.
