Introduction:
If you know, you know. The ESP Alexi Laiho “Blacky” Signature from 2010 is one of the rarest and most savage V-style guitars ever built. Designed to Alexi’s exact specs and made in Japan, this thing is pure attitude — from the scythe inlays to the single bridge pickup and Floyd. It’s lean, it’s fast, and it was built to dominate.

The Story:
I’ve held onto this one for a while because, honestly, you just don’t see them pop up often — and when they do, they go. This “Blacky” is the cleanest version I’ve personally ever come across. No mods, no funny business — just the raw setup that Alexi himself endorsed.
It’s a no-nonsense metal machine: one pickup, one knob, one mission — total sonic destruction. The EMG HZ-FH2 is super aggressive and surprisingly articulate, and the Floyd holds tight even under full-on abuse.
Conclusion / CTA:
Whether you’re a die-hard Children of Bodom fan, a V-shape connoisseur, or just looking for something that absolutely shreds and stands out, this ESP Alexi Laiho “Blacky” is the grail you’ve been hunting. It’s rare, it’s real, and it’s ready.
