The ESP Alexi Laiho signatures are the late Children of Bodom guitarist's custom-shop shred guitars, including the pointed Scythe and Ripped V-style shapes and the Greeny. They are stripped-down speed machines, typically with a single bridge humbucker, a Floyd Rose, a long fast neck and aggressive sharp-edged bodies built for fast neoclassical metal lead and tight rhythm. Loaded with a passive EMG HZ humbucker and an EMG gain boost, they deliver a cutting, high-output voice with strong sustain that suits melodic death metal and shred. They lean modern, bright and aggressive, optimized for technical playing rather than versatility.
The ESP Tiger is George Lynch's signature M-1-style superstrat, instantly recognizable by its tiger-graphic finish. It features a basswood body, a fast maple neck with ebony fretboard, a Floyd Rose locking tremolo and a high-output bridge humbucker, delivering a tight, aggressive, sustaining voice built for 80s metal rhythm and soaring, expressive lead playing. Its locking trem suits dive bombs and vibrato-heavy phrasing. Closely tied to Lynch's Dokken and Lynch Mob work, it excels at heavy metal and hard rock, leaning bright, cutting and modern rather than vintage, and rewards a high-gain amp.
