Samy Elbana is the best choice for representing Alexi's legacy guitars. Both are finnishes and the great guitar players from their time and undoubtly Samy is the big fan of COB himself.
he is on their records screaming as a damn 13-years old :-D also in the back with cob group during like all 2000-2015 gigs in Finland :-) RIP Alexi never forgotten
That pickup even without the signature gain-boost really helps nail that high-mid articulation even though so many people hate the EMG-HZ series; it's the best that could be done to emulate the older tone since Jackson discontinued their preamp a long time ago, but the ESP MM-04 seems to be more versatile anyways..
Hell yea I remember listening to Lost Society when they first came out and I loved ‘‘em right away. I love how Sami is playing little bodom tunes in there.
Man how can you not love sammy? Im so into Lost society from the moment I first listened to Riot back in 2018. Best man to review an Alexi Laiho guitar! 🤘🏻
Why do they never mention the the scalloped frets high on the neck all shred players should add this mod to there guitars really improves the playability to the neck when playing them high notes
Dude your an exceptional guitarist.You do justice to the video.Honestly speaking I did find a slight difference in tone if u compare both the guitars.Taking in consideration mostly everything is the same including the wood types on both the guitars.
I pre ordered the HexLtd from Sweetwater expect shipping in March, A 6 month wait will be worthwhile, I have the Greeny Ltd which is a beast the neck profile is amazing it almost plays itself😊🤘😈🍻☃️
I can't afford any of these guitars so I got a fake Japanese copy of the ripped one and I love it no scalloped frets but wow it's really nice I put alexi laiho emg kit in it
RIP Alexi. Raising Hell through Heaven and back with his legacy for millenia to come. Future cultures will look back down and say "wow this COB shit was amazing"

HI Maggot. No, we don't make any LTD models in Japan. Only our ESP Custom Shop (Original Series, Signature Series, Exhibition Limited Series) and E-II Guitars are made in Japan.
Rest in peace, Alexi. I've just pulled out all your albums again to thrash around town. It's time. ESP: Could you not have put something in there to memorialize the man whose name adorns this guitar?
@@tonycarpaccio9550 Like a 10 second piece of video of the man, saying "This is Alexi. RIP". I think he deserves a bit more recognition than just his first name in the model's name.
Why are u even commenting under an Alexi themed video if u dont like grown men wearing nail polish? xd The man rocked black nail polish and guyliner his entire career and was one of the most badass mofos to ever step on a stage...
I get where your coming from, but I see it differently. Alexi spec'd these out himself. There's pictures online of him with these guitars. They were going to be released as his new signature models before he passed. They aren't making profit off of him because of that. Alexi was an ESP signature artist and ESP had likely started production on these 2 models before he passed away. Was ESP supposed to throw away all of these guitars mid production and take a big financial hit so people wouldn't think they were intentionally trying to profit from an artists passing? Alexi was very happy with and proud of these new models and his estate will definitely be getting his portion of the money made from each guitar sold. So I see nothing wrong at all with releasing these. I think it would have been wrong to not offer these models to the public after he passed. This was the last project Alexi worked on with ESP so its only right that they honor his name and legacy with one last signature model to finish out his almost 2 decade long relationship with these guitars
@@omgdisfunny4852 Fact is, Alexi designed and "played" these two models when he was still alive, and these models were intended to be released at the beginning of 2021 had he not passed away, but was then postponed because of his death. If you go check the pics of the back of the guitar from ESP USA's website, you'll notice the sample guitar pics bore the 2020 serial number which implies these guitars were already in plans of production during 2020(when he's still alive).
The man is dead already would you stop milking his name ?? just kidding those guitars look sick 🤘would also be great if one could still get the white one tho
What did you expect? It comes from the same school as all the great bands of the last 2 decades, Finland, an excellent successor to the god Alexi Laiho
Samy Elbana is the best choice for representing Alexi's legacy guitars. Both are finnishes and the great guitar players from their time and undoubtly Samy is the big fan of COB himself.
he knew alexi like his whole life they were very close friends/brothers love xx
he is on their records screaming as a damn 13-years old :-D also in the back with cob group during like all 2000-2015 gigs in Finland :-) RIP Alexi never forgotten
Love the fact that he was also a part of 100 guitars from hell with Alexi.
@@andrewnarzary7462 and apart of the local band with alexi
Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate his playing! Wow
Just listen to his band Lost Society even in this demo he played riff from song nonbeliever highly recomended and also he is a vocalist.
one of the best shreders in today's metal
RIP Metal God
I love how y'all made different price point guitars for the fans who might not have the most disposable income. Good on ya ESP
Yeah now they filled out expensive and ultra fucking expensive 😁 good for us metal kids with no money 😂
@@infinidominion no disrespect, but you don't necessarily look like a kid. Nice half cab though
I thought it was an isolated guitar from Alexi when I heard that hatebreeder solo. Dude has the Alexi style nailed!!
That pickup even without the signature gain-boost really helps nail that high-mid articulation even though so many people hate the EMG-HZ series; it's the best that could be done to emulate the older tone since Jackson discontinued their preamp a long time ago, but the ESP MM-04 seems to be more versatile anyways..
Somehow Alexi's looking down and smiling: "Not to shabby, kid, not to shabby".
Cheer to all!!
that skill... Alexi is looking down proud /// I didnt even know that Lost Society are from Finland ...
Hell yea I remember listening to Lost Society when they first came out and I loved ‘‘em right away. I love how Sami is playing little bodom tunes in there.
Wow, the perfect dude to showcase these guitars. Couldn't be more on point.
Let’s all just take a moment to respect Alexi! Rip
Ngl, I thought this guy was Alexi. Nothing but respect to him. Samy truly did justice for playing this guitar the way Alexi would.
So cool to see Sammy do this. been a big fan for a long time
RIP to the one of the best. Ive always loved Alexis guitars. The pink and black one will always be the best one.
Agree 💯
The best Alexi Laiho feel in your hands!
Alexi laiho i love you ❤ rest in peace my idol
I got my ripped in December and I absolutely love it. It's an amazing feing guitar.
Man how can you not love sammy? Im so into Lost society from the moment I first listened to Riot back in 2018. Best man to review an Alexi Laiho guitar! 🤘🏻
They both look and sound great!!
Reminds me of Alexi the way he speaks.. Great video
Pretty damn Cool Guitars. Love this guy's playing! 👊😎💯
RIP alexi he would be proud
I read the majority of people's comments and these LTDs look AMAZING. But you can't deny this guy is a MONSTER on Guitar.
Amazing playing dude, wow
He was Alexi’s bandmate in The Local Band. Dude’s a beast
@@Endlessnameless803 I wasn’t aware, thank you 🤘🏻
This man knows how to shred. Damnn
He played in Lost Society, one of the coolest thrash bands from Finland.
@@SillyDeal1604He still plays there but it’s not thrash any longer
VERY beautyful guitar.
Why do they never mention the the scalloped frets high on the neck all shred players should add this mod to there guitars really improves the playability to the neck when playing them high notes

Mom: We have Alexi Laiho at home
(TBF, what an awesome player!)
I pre ordered the HexLtd from Sweetwater expect shipping in March, A 6 month wait will be worthwhile, I have the Greeny Ltd which is a beast the neck profile is amazing it almost plays itself😊🤘😈🍻☃️
I just got a Greeny, and I love it. So far I have 3 Ltds and I don't want to switch to another brand for a long time haha
@@samusranzer Do you have the preamp booster in any of those?

We miss you Alexi!!!R.i.p
My god guys these guitars are absolutely war Axes!!!
as soon as I heard the hatebreeder solo I knew this was gonna be good
This was sick! Can buy these monsters to just to watch them on my wall
You should've played the same material when switching between the mics. Hard to tell the difference in sound when the sampes are different also.
Just got the LTD RIPPED in the mail!
Lol, came to see a guitar, got my face melted off. Rock on!!
Man. It’s not just the accent. It’s the basically everything. It’s uncanny. I sure do miss the real deal though.
Amazing guitar!

@@JerryCowles All E-II models are made in Japan at the ESP factory.
@@espguitarsusa ok so that would be the hexed and the ripped here in this video right and if so how $ are those ones
I think the other best choice to demo an Alexi model would be Archie 🤘
He's so hot right now .... Mugatu and I agree ! Rock on
Thanks for the laugh lool
Do u even rip bro
Rest in peace, Alexi. I've just pulled out all your albums again to thrash around town. It's time.
