Emolaiho - rules! :)))))))

> Scaf | 27.06.2007

Oh, shit!!! I dont believe it!!! Fucking EMO shit!!! Alexi, you have a boll's???????????????????

> Barbarian | 27.06.2007

I bought this one just recently, it's the only LTD in the Alexi series that has the satin finished neck. Yeah an ESP would have slightly better materials and finishing, but I'm not willing to pay $3000 for one.The LTD's are probably the best production model guitars around right now and this guitar kills. I now have all three in the series and I love them all, they're all quality guitars. My only quibble? The rear strap button is positioned differently on the LTD's than to the ESPs and Alexi's own guitars, which are the same as any RR Jackson (I have an RR and I'm debating just having the LTD's strap buttons lowered). But, the Alexi's are great to play and I prefer their tone to the Jackson. The deeper cutaway is a very cool addition on the SE model. The pink inlays look fantastic. Shit hot guitar.

> Darkknight | 28.06.2007

I bought Ninja 600 Michael amott signature guitar over Alexi 600 SE .. not because of the Pink colour .. but just for the fact that it has only one pick up and no neck pick up ... but anyways this guitar is hot .. my next buy most prolly if i am able to earn 1000 dollars soon :(

> Aniket | 05.07.2007

Dude you guys who are bitching because the color are jut fucking retarded. get a life. and you know i hate the us alexi laiho models because the real ones dont have those fucking gaudy ass pinstripes the mroe thin ones. but fucking if he likes pink so what? hes a great guitarist, he makes great music, hes a great guy. get over it.

> Josh | 11.07.2007

Anyone bitching about the color of the guitar, are fucking stupid. Grow the fuck up. What do you consider emo... Like wearing converse shoes, hair style, dressing in tight clothing, cutting themselves, crying non stop (this is all just something 95% of emo people do, yes I am aware that this doesn't make someone emo, and some people are emo even if they do none of those things). Well I don't think the Color pink cuts itself or wears that type of clothing, I don't know you'll have to ask my friend blue about that, or maybe even red. Alexi is far from emo, if he likes a certain color so be it, that doesn't make him or anything to do with this guitar emo. You people are so fucking dumb like.

Side note, all brands of guitars have bad and good things about them. So saying ESP or LTD or Jackson or anything/any type of guitar is shit, is also very immature and dumb, especially if you've never played one. and if you did and don't like it, fine, thats your opinion, that doesn't mean its shit. ESP have great looking and sounding guitars, as well as LTD. Because LTD is cheaper doesn't mean its shit. Look at the specs for the ESP Alexi model the and LTD Alexi 600 model, what difference is there? Tuners maybe. oh such a big deal. Three different letters on the headstock. As for other brands, like Jackson, Dean, Ibanez, they all have thier good and bad reviews and specs. Maybe they don't even have any bad ones. Looks is all about preferance and really doesn't matter much, unless thats what you are looking for in the guitar. It makes sense if you don't want to buy a guitar you don't like the look of. At the same time, you learn to like the look of something in time too in a lot of cases.

Its so cliche to hear thats your opinion not mine, well fuck that shit. It might be cliche but it obviously doesn't sink in. If you dont like something fine, but i'm pretty sure they don't make guitars from shit nowadays, well most companies. That would mean your mouths are at risk (anyone shitting on the color of that PINK guitar), and it seems like they are working fine (yes I understand this is typing, that would mean fingers, but I'm sure if you type like this chances are you speakk similar to it)

And to the dude talking about pinstripes, calm down. Its all about preference, if you don't like it, good job. Personally I like both pinstripe designs, the solid and the double/thin ones. Its not shit, or dumb looking no, maybe to you. I hope someday for your brain cell particles to accumulate and form one, at least than you may be enabled a small pigment of vision:).

I can't believe I just wasted that much time, but someone needs to do it

The guitar is great! The color is great! Good job Alexi!
One of the greatest guitarists that ever lived.

> yourworstenemy. | 20.07.2007

Oh and for clarification, the brain cell thing... to the morons shitting on the guitar, not to pinstripe dude.

> yourworstenemy. | 20.07.2007

I THINK THIS GUITAR IS HOTT...

> metalgoddess | 01.08.2007

I THINK THIS GUITAR IS HOTT...

> metalgoddess | 01.08.2007

> anthony | 03.08.2007

fuck alll of u who hate this guitar this fuckin thing kicks ass...wow ur all fags because u think pink is girly...yeah but this guitar still kicks ass and get out of ur little coody fases assholes!!!

> anthony | 03.08.2007

Every color is co-ed, meaning theres really no distinct information that says certain colors are feminen. Maybe it is, but why would that even matter. This guitar owns, and Alexi owns you!

> guitar4life | 04.08.2007

Guitar is amazing, fuck all you dumb fucks who shit on this guitar. Go fuck yourselves

> sdfgf | 04.08.2007

i always wanted the alexi-600 since i played it at a guitar store a long time ago.
so! i finaly saved enough money to buy one! i was gonna get the white one. haha. well then esp made this guitar, this se with a better cutaway for reaching frets and all that good stuff..AND DUDE I NOW OWN THIS FUCKIN GUITAR AND IT IS THE SHIT!!
go by this guitar.
or any AL-600 for that matter.

> Alexi666 | 18.08.2007

fuckin awesome guitar, im hopping will be able to get atleast one of the alexi guitars.

> DeadNightWarrior | 26.08.2007

this guitar is ausome and eazy to make

> C.O.B.27-7 | 18.09.2007

beautiful
i love it
the hate crew logo on back
looks nice
looks like it could play nicely as well

> Tyler loves COB | 05.10.2007

The deeper cutaway is kickass. Way better upper fret access.

> Mike | 12.10.2007

i agree its nice
but emg hz in the bridge? COB is a medlodic band, dont you think it would have a neck pup. Anyways, its sexy. Id get it if its under 400
no guitar with emg hz's is worth more then that in my opinon.

> justin | 20.10.2007

I just ordered this guitar the other day. I'm so excited to receive it. It has everything I want...24 XJ Frets, Thin neck, Orig. Floyd Rose, Neck-thru, Satin finish neck, deep cutaway for good access to upper frets, and not to mention it just looks dead sexy.

> Michael G | 06.11.2007

> this guitar is hot cob rock | 12.11.2007

why does everyone care so much about the colour lol? there arn't enough pink guitars out there anyhow. I want it, but i wish there was a tone dial.

> Luke | 13.11.2007

i think thats an awsome guitar..
fuck the color and all that shit..
alexi its a fucking great guitarrist and everything
eventhough hes gay xD

> antonio | 21.11.2007

Anyone who says they won't buy it only because of the pickup is quite ignorant and very closed-minded. It seems like many of you think that if it had some sort of active pickup in the bridge it would be worth like twice as much. Just replace the fucking pickup then...it fucking costs not even $100 for some silly EMG-81 that you all seem to love so much.

> eveningninja | 08.12.2007

Im buying an ESP Alexi-600 soon and i cant wait :P
this guitar kicks ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Ok what I dont understand is why is there so much bitching over the EMG Hz for fuck sakes if you cant handle it then go choose another guitar or how bout you get a custom built ESP if it matters that much to you?. So what If Alexi uses a passive pickup than an active one...remember its also the AMP and GEAR etc that give a guitar its tone too. =)

oh by the way this comment wasnt really directed to just one person. But yeh I agree with eveningninja...If you dont like the pickup but you like the guitar just buy a diffrent pickup...its that simple =)

> JaXtA | 26.04.2008

I HAVE THIS GUITAR AND THE ESP ONE AS WELL THEY BOTH SOUND A LIKE, AND ALEXI LAHIO ISN'T GAY MAN WASH THE COB MOVIE AND HE TELLS YOU IS A JOKE MAN SO FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO THINK HE IS GAY FOUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> COBHC666 | 13.07.2008

People are falling away from what metal and punk is supposed to be. being and expressing yourself. the metal scene today is falling mainstream BECAUSE of flamers who hate on other metal lovers.

at least emo is sticking to its guns and they are just being themselves, no matter how strange people find them.

this is a SICK guitar. if i had 1000 bucks and the guitar im still saing for, id buy it in a heartbeat.

> mike | 19.07.2008

> nuno rodrigo | 23.06.2009

THIS IS THE BEST GUITAR OF ALL TIME I BUY THIS GUITAR AND THE SOUND IS THE BEST, ALEXI IS BEST GUITAR PLAYER AND YOU ALL ARE EMOOOOO, AND NOOBS.

> Domm-Domm | 10.09.2009

If you are Alexi Laiho
and you can play execute sweeps clean and musically
and overcome a huge drug addiction
and lead one of the world's premier metal bands
and write all their music
and sell out thousands of venues
and receive more notariety than any of these idiot wanna-be metal guitarists who play power chords and buy Metallica fake books and smash beer bottles over their heads ever will
and have not only your own signature guitar, but signature pickups as well
....it doesn't matter what fucking color your guitar is.

Do some researchers you ignoramuses. You can buy this guitar in Black, white, or yellow if you don't want the SE, which is the exact same thing except not pink.

And anybody who judges a guitar player by the aesthetic of their guitar is not a real guitarists, and probably should not be posing like they are on guitar site. In fact, it's douchebags like you that allow sucky yet beautiful guitars like "Schecter Graphic Series" to sell for $800+ while it's made for $24.99 somewhere in Mexico or China.

If you were a real musician, or knew anything about the mechanics of sound, you would know that the actual finish of the guitar contributes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the sonic quality of the instrument (unless of course it changes it's shape, but that's more of an acoustic-guitar aspect, and then we're reaching into the realm of an instruments tone). I don't care if the guitar is hot pink and yellow with a picture of Nick Jonas on it. If it sounds amazing then you know I'm considering it. And you homophobic jackasses who think otherwise are just empty shells.
