[Kizarney]

On a side note..The little Mom and Pop store that had them is going out of buisiness..they have 2 Alexi 200 models, that are going for 200 each..I may swing by and get them Friday after payday...lol. I played them and even though they are the low-line models..for the money they are amazing fully bound neck and headstock..Lisc. ESP Floyd..etc. HUGE bang for the buck

They told me it is under their cost..Both the 200's are white. I was gonna buy them and refin them or something.
Did you like the ESP brand PUP in it?...I thought it sounded pretty damn good..in the store anyway..lol, Kinda like a HZ

[fenux_123]

Alexi Laiho has a sweet deal with ESP, more power to him. Maybe it will run its course and he'll get back on Jacksons. I know it's been discussed to death. Children of Bodem are awesome and I don't know anyone, young or old, who doesn't dig them. Roope and Alexi just looked so darn cool playing Jacksons and Bodem fans who pay attention to detail will tell you so. Fender has so much money, I'm sure they could "sign" Alexi or Roope after their contracts with ESP are up. They seem to have established enough musical longevity and popularity to make them great future prospects.

I thought Alexi had switched to Blackouts--I'm surprised his sig models still have the EMG-Hz, which he actually did use in the past, even in his Jacksons.

Personally, I don't consider a new paint job to be a new "model", per se, but that black one is pretty nice looking.

[fenux_123]

true, he did switch to the blackouts and idk why the new models have the emg hz either..ill just switch it out and sell the old emg. and as far as the blacky, i like it the best out of all of his except the pink one!

[fenux_123]

oh yeah and didnt the old ones have the OFR?

[Kizarney]

I am going to try and check out that shop today..it is currently -12 degrees and wind chill of -24 so everything is closing early..If I make it out..I may come back with 2 more Alexi's.

[fenux_123]

alright man! yeah its not that bad here. i think it was 15 this mornin with a wind chill of 5...but 2morrow is gonna b 5 alone without the wind chill..burr.

[chrisolson]

It was -22 deg F here this morning. I don't even want to talk about the windchill.

*Raises hand* I haven't warmed to COB yet. I am however a fan of Alexi. I've watched a lot of his guitar world stuff and he's a great player. Rather down to earth about playing guitar as well which is cool. It would be nice to see both of them back into the Jackson fold.

I don't think Alexi has even hit his full potential yet, I think the guy has only begun to show us what he’s capable of. I'd like to see a real Rhoads in his hands when he does.
