Description
ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Sawtooth 20th Anniversary
This neck-thru-body design delivers the kind of aggressive sustain and note definition that cuts through dense mix environments. The thin U-shaped maple neck with satin finish provides immediate access to upper frets, while the scalloped board (frets 19–24) enables the speed and precision required for extreme metal tracking. Sharp aesthetics match sharp tone—this is an instrument built for engineers who demand both sonic clarity and player reliability in the studio.
Playability & Construction
The 25.5" scale length and thin three-piece maple neck with satin finish create a fast, responsive platform for technical recording sessions. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and scalloped frets 19–24 support both aggressive bending articulation and rapid position shifts across the entire neck, while the offset V-shaped alder body balances ergonomics with visual edge—critical factors during long tracking days.
Tone & Electronics
The single EMG HZ F-H2 passive humbucker delivers the high-output, articulate tones essential to modern metal recording without active electronics noise floor concerns. Direct volume-only control layout simplifies gain staging and on-the-fly adjustments during takes, while the double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 bridge maintains stable tuning through extreme dive bombs and whammy work—reducing re-tuning between passes. Grover tuners and chrome hardware round out a reliable, session-ready specification.
