Just played an Alexi Laiho LTD

Regor · 04-19-2006, 09:50 PM

And not to my surprise, it plays just like my Jackson USA RR-1. But what I couldn't believe was that it had a REAL OFR and ebony fretboard. That was a surprise. Damn thing looks great too, with the sawtooth inlays and all. Neck plays great and feels just like my RR-1, and well, if I ever lost or had the RR-1 stolen, I'd totally buy this guitar @ $750 USD.

Hell, if I didn't buy that lame ass lemon of an RR-7, I'd buy this one and leave my RR-1 at home so it never got stolen.

wtf did you see one for 750? damn that's a hell of a deal. The Alexi is supposed to kick ass, that's for sure. Everybody's always like "alexi is gay" well whatever the guitar still owns the big one. If I can scrounge up a job this summer I think I might get one, I'm not sure but w/e.

I mean come on...it's sick:

Elysian · 04-19-2006, 11:00 PM

it looks retarded imo, and emg hz is a downgrade, i'm guessing thats why they can afford to put an OFR on it... and those saw tooth inlays are horrid. if it plays nice, thats great, but i'd take an RR5 over this any day(course, i own an RR5, so i'm a little biased

)

D-EJ915 · 04-19-2006, 11:12 PM

Hahaha, I hate those nasty string plates they use on RR5s and the RR body shape is horrid imo :p

Alexi likes and uses the H4s that's why it's in there :p

tehk · 04-19-2006, 11:52 PM

The only thing that sucks about the US models for the Alexi signature is that the body (SV) isn't like his actual sig or RR jacksons (for obvious reasons). That's the only thing that's stopping me from possibly buying on in the future. The japanese models however do have the exact RR shape

, but they're crazy expensive.

P.S. I personally really like EMG-H4z. They sound alittle muddy, but clear at the same time. Great all-around pickup.

P.P.S. If only Alexi played a seven...

bostjan · 04-19-2006, 11:55 PM

Muddy but clear?

I'd prefer a real EMG-81/7 and a seven string. * shrug *

I like the cosmetics, though.

alexi's SV's are just like the RR body shape. theres nothing horrid about the RR body shape, there is something horrid about this abomination that they call the alexi laiho sig. the longer lower half of it just looks absurd. and the string plate on the RR5 imo goes perfectly with the guitar, as does the electronics cavity cover. huge yellow bevels on a black guitar on the other hand, is just an eyesore.

it's like a bee gone wrong...looks wise that is!

Dunno what it plays like, never touched ESP/LTD's, they just don't appeal that much! OFR can only be a good thing though!

Regor · 04-20-2006, 01:31 AM

Alright, first of all, it's an LTD, not the ESP. Hence, $750.

Secondly, the longer lower wing wasn't bad at all actually. Felt fine. Like I said, I have an RR-1 and it felt just fine.

Third, the one I played was white with the black bevel:
http://media.zzounds.com/media/brand...1b6763af58.jpg (it's a big pic, so I don't want to img tag it), not the 'bumblebee'

Forth, you can change the pickup if you don't like it. Sounded just fine to me. And for $750 and an ebony board, I'm down. (And I happen to love the sawblade inlays. Regular dot inlays are lame IMO).

And tekh, I don't know why you think it doesn't have the same body shape as the 'Japanese' Alexi. It does have the exact same shape. So I dunno where you're getting that info from. It's got the cut away on the lower wing to give upper access to the fretboard and the longer lower horn. I don't know what you're referring to. So don't write it off just yet, go try one out.

it does not have the exact same shape as alexi's V. Alexi's V is an ESP SV, which has a shorter lower half, ala the RR. the Alexi Sig you get here in the states has a longer lower half, because of copyright laws.
