SV Design with excellent handling

The E-II Alexi Ripped is based on Alexi Laiho's preferred SV design and offers excellent playing characteristics for virtuoso shredding in all positions. The Thin-U profile maple through-neck fits comfortably in the hand and promises agile handling of the 24-fret ebony fingerboard, which also features scalloping from the 19th fret. To ensure that every note is hit safely even in poor stage lighting, not only large Sawtooth inlays mark the positions, but alsofluorescent side dots. In addition, alder body wings complete the electric guitar.

Flexible sound and Floyd Rose tremolo

With the passive EMG H2 humbucker on the bridge and the equally passive EMG S2 single coil on the neck, the ESP E-II Alexi Ripped delivers a surprisingly flexible sound that encompasses crystal-clear sparkling cleans as well as offensive high-gain distortion. Even with drop tunings and fast attack, every note is heard with razor-sharp precision. Both pickups are controlled straightforwardly via the Volume knob and 3-way switch, while the switchable ESP MM-04 Boost unleashes additional volume reserves for increased assertiveness. To embellish solos with screeching dive bombs and squeals, the E-II Alexi Ripped is equipped with an extremely tuning-stable Floyd Rose Original Double-Locking Tremolo.
