The ESP LTD Alexi-600 Scythe is a signature electric guitar by Finnish Melodic Death Metal virtuoso Alexi Laiho with unrestricted playing comfort and hot sounds. Accordingly, the electric guitar offers a full maple neck in the extremely fast "Thin U"-profile, to which alder body wings in V design are glued. In addition to 24 extra jumbo frets, the ebony also carries stylish Scythe inlays for orientation. On the amplifier a passive EMG H2 humbucker provides brute metal sounds that don't lose their definition even in drop-tunings. As a real shredder axe, the ESP LTD Alexi also offers a Floyd Rose tremolo for uninhibited dive bombs or squeals.
ESP LTD Alexi-600-Scythe Electric Guitar A model that represents the entry level for all true fans of the heavy metal music genre, the shape of the guitar body itself simply invites you to play a series of power chords. The finish is very good, and although the price is intended for non-professionals, it does not lack aesthetic details as with the more expensive model. It has only one active pickup but it is a shredder model that thanks to the notch in the body under the neck allows easy access to the highest frets. The sound is powerful, stable and thanks to the floating bridge, it enables all the tricks that have been seen by world musicians of this genre of music. The double locking system keeps the tonal stability in place. Playing while sitting requires a different guitar grip than classic models but this does not diminish the usability of this model in any way. The black model requires a bit more maintenance care than the white one, but it is understandable with all guitars with dark shades. I recommend it to all true HM fans.
