Born from fire, speed, and precision, the ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Arrowhead SE 20th Anniversary is a stellar tribute to one of metal’s most influential guitarists. Twenty years ago, ESP launched its first Signature Series guitars with Alexi Laiho—frontman, lead guitarist, and creative force behind Finnish melodic death metal legends Children of Bodom. This special edition celebrates that historic partnership and the legacy of a player who reshaped modern metal lead guitar forever.

Alexi’s unmistakable blend of neoclassical virtuosity and blistering speed influenced an entire generation, and the Arrowhead SE channels that energy like a weapon forged in orbit. Based on Alexi’s iconic offset V shape, this guitar pays homage to his earliest ESP signatures with a striking black gloss finish accented by vivid yellow bevels, cutting through the void like a comet at full burn.

Built with neck-thru-body construction at a 25.5” scale, the Arrowhead SE combines alder body wings with a three-piece Thin “U” maple neck, delivering exceptional sustain and stability at warp speed. The Macassar ebony fingerboard, scalloped from frets 19–24, is designed for effortless high-register leads, while arrowhead pearloid inlaysguide you across the fretboard like constellations in the night sky. Flip the guitar over to reveal a silky satin-finished neck, matching yellow bevels, and the legendary COBHC logo—a badge of honor burned into metal history.

Outfitted with gold hardware, a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo, Grover tuners, and a single EMG HZ F-H2 passive humbucker, this guitar delivers razor-sharp attack, crushing sustain, and total control—built for divebombs, harmonic screams, and lightning-fast runs.

This limited celebration of Alexi Laiho’s legacy ships in a deluxe ESP V-form hardshell case, ready to travel from studio to stage—and beyond.
