Signature Guitar

The ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Sawtooth SE 20th Anniversary, finished in black with fine white stripes, is aimed at guitarists who want to play fast and with modern precision. Its through-body construction, Floyd Rose 1000 and EMG HZ FH-2 pickup give structure to an instrument designed for cutting-edge rhythms and technical solos. This signature model comes in a hard case, designed for demanding stages and today's metal styles.

The ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Sawtooth SE 20th Anniversary features the Children of Bodom guitarist's iconic offset V silhouette in a carefully crafted Special Edition version, recognisable by its white purfling contrasting with the bevelled black finish.

The design is more than just aesthetically pleasing: the balanced alder body makes it easy to play standing up or sitting down, while maintaining good acoustic projection.

The through-neck construction on a 25.5" tuning fork provides appreciable continuity of vibration and an even response along the entire length of the neck.

The Thin U profile of the three-piece maple neck encourages rapid movement, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets supports precise playing.

The last frets, from the 19th to the 24th, are scalloped, which makes them ideal for sustaining and controlling solo vibratos.

As for the hardware, the Floyd Rose 1000 with double locking secures the tuning even with intensive vibrato use. The Grover tuning machines contribute to overall stability, which is useful for live performance or extended rehearsals.

The electronics remain deliberately simple, with a passive EMG HZ F-H2 bridge pickup and a single volume control, a straightforward configuration geared towards efficiency and responsiveness.

The Sawtooth SE is supplied in a rigid, moulded ESP case, so it stays well protected between rehearsal and the stage.
