A metal maestro's masterpiece made real.
The ESP Alexi Hexed electric guitar, a signature edition codesigned with Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, is masterfully crafted in Japan. This guitar features an alder body with a maple top and a three-piece maple neck, laying a resilient and sonorous groundwork ideal for high-gain performance. Its ebony fretboard provides a slick pathway for swift finger movement over the 25.5" scale length. Equipped with Gotoh locking tuners, the Alexi Hexed maintains tuning stability, even through vigorous use of the Floyd Rose Original tremolo system. A singular EMG HZ F-H2 humbucker is at the heart of its sound, offering the distinct clarity and force necessary for the tight, overdriven tones synonymous with Alexi Laiho's style.
Sculpted Body Resonates at High Volumes
The Alexi Hexed's alder body with a maple top is contoured for comfort and chambered to enhance resonance. At high gain settings and volumes, the wood's natural tone comes through, emphasizing the harmonically rich midrange. The body's offset V shape shifts the lower bout to provide unencumbered access to the higher frets so you can blaze through solos and shred without limits. When you slam the Floyd Rose tremolo to dive bomb and squeal, the Alexi Hexed's resonance helps each pitch bloom.
Stable Neck Construction
A three-piece maple neck provides strength and stability for the Alexi Hexed. The thin U-shaped profile offers a slim, fast feel whether you're ripping through scales or cruising along open strings. The 25.5" scale length provides taut string tension for clear articulation when using dropped tunings. An ebony fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface so your fingers can dance across its 24 jumbo frets.
High-Output Pickup for Distortion and Sustain
EMG's HZ F-H2 humbucker provides the power and sustain required for high-gain metal tones. The ceramic magnets and hot coil windings deliver full-range tone with rich harmonics and excellent string-to-string balance. When saturated in distortion, the HZ F-H2 retains note clarity so every picked, tapped or pinched harmonic pierces through. The pickup's output also allows for endless sustain to let notes and chords ring out until you mute the strings.
Locking Components Keep You in Tune
The Alexi Hexed comes equipped with Gotoh locking tuners and a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo. The tuners firmly grip each string, helping the Alexi Hexed stay in tune even with heavy tremolo use. The recessed Floyd Rose lets you dramatically bend pitches, dive bomb and squeal while maintaining tuning stability. With both the nut and bridge locked, every note you play rings out clear and true.
