An increasingly rare and highly collectible 2007 ESP Alexi Arrow Head, one of the earliest and most iconic signature models associated with legendary Children of Bodom guitarist Alexi Laiho.
Released shortly after Alexi's endorsement agreement with ESP, the Arrow Head is widely regarded as the guitar that started it all. Featuring the unmistakable Black with Yellow Stripe finish, neck-thru construction, and aggressive V-shaped body design, this model became one of the most recognizable metal guitars of the 2000s.
Built in Japan by ESP's Custom Shop team, this instrument combines a resonant alder body, 3-piece hard maple neck, and ebony fingerboard with the famous Arrow Head inlays. The neck-thru design provides exceptional sustain and upper fret access, while the Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG HZ-H4 humbucker deliver the fast response and crushing tones that defined Alexi's sound.
