Building The E-II Alexi "Ripped"

In true Alexi style this awesome guitar features an offset V-shaped body comprising of two Alder wings sitting on either side of a 3-piece Maple neck.

This "Neck-Thru" construction results in superb levels of natural sustain and tonal stability, giving you a guitar that's guaranteed to perform at its best night after night.

In addition to this, the thin "U"-shaped neck profile and bound Ebony fingerboard - with 24 XJ frets, of which 19-24 are scalloped - combine for effortless levels of playability, at any speed.

Versatile Electronics

The E-II Alexi Ripped's aggressive sound is powered by an EMG HZ F-H2 humbucker pickup at the bridge, and an EMG HZ S2 stacked single coil pickup at the neck.

These pickups offer that tell-tale Laiho high-gain presence and clarity, with the addition of the clarity and balanced mids of a single coil, whilst the Volume control and 3-way toggle switch allow you to fine-tune your output accordingly.

In addition to this you'll find an ESP MM-04 active boost switch, a preamp circuit with adjustable EQ settings, and up to +18dB of boost when you need it - perfect for when you want to push your amp over the edge.

Premium Hardware

Bringing the whole thing together is a host of great hardware, including a double-locking Floyd Rose Original tremolo bridge and Grover locking tuners.

This hardware system - along with the associated locking nut - works perfectly to ensure that you can perform outrageous pitch bends, without negatively affecting the guitar's tuning stability.
