Sound & Tone
Neck-thru alder with a 3-piece maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard gives this left-handed model a tight, articulate voice with long sustain, and the 25.5" scale keeps string tension firm and note definition clear. The bridge EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker pushes high output with enough clarity and punch to stay defined under heavy distortion while still tracking cleans. Paired with the Floyd Rose 1000, scalloped upper frets and thin U neck, it's aimed squarely at extreme and modern metal — fast riffing, tapping, wide bends and dive-bomb work.
ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Hexed Lefty Guitar — Purple Faded Pinstripes
The Alexi Laiho Hexed is engineered for left-handed players tracking aggressive, high-speed material in the studio. Its thin U-shaped neck profile and scalloped fingerboard accelerate tracking sessions, while neck-thru construction delivers the sustain and upper-fret articulation needed for extreme metal tones. The purple fade with pinstripes finish provides distinctive visual character for live playback or video documentation.
Playability & Recording Performance
The 25.5" scale and Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius enable precise position work and controlled bending during overdub sessions, minimizing unwanted buzz and string noise. 24 extra-jumbo frets paired with the thin U neck contour and locking nut (42mm width) provide stability across multiple takes—critical for dive bombs, tapping, and the demanding articulation of modern metal production.
Tone & Studio Tracking
The neck-thru construction with alder body and 3-piece maple neck generates tight sustain with a crisp, articulate voice that sits well in both clean and heavily distorted mixes. A Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability across multiple takes and whammy-bar effects, while the EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker in the bridge position delivers high-output clarity and punch that cuts through dense arrangements without additional EQ.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this guitar suited for metal and extended-range playing?
The scalloped upper frets (19–24), thin U-shaped neck, and 24 extra-jumbo frets enable rapid position shifts, tapping, and controlled whammy-bar technique. The 25.5" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius provide the tension and geometry needed for aggressive bending and drop tunings without fretting out.

Yes. The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo is paired with a 42mm locking nut to maintain pitch stability through dive bombs and sustained whammy-bar abuse, essential for metal and djent styles.
What pickup and tone should I expect?
The EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker in the bridge position delivers high-output punch and articulate definition that cuts through dense mixes. Neck-thru alder/maple construction provides tight sustain and clarity across both clean and heavily distorted tones.
