ESP Edwards E-AL-166 Katakana is a special Alexi Laiho signature model. This Edwards Series instrument is originally intended for Japanese market only, and it’s very rare outside Japan! The guitar is handmade in Japan, using only high quality tonewoods and parts.

The satin grip neck is made of three piece hard maple and fretboard is ebony with 24 extra jumbo -sized frets. Fretboard is scalloped between 20-24 and features sawtooth inlays plus ”Alexi” text written in Japanese katakana.

Other premium features include Gotoh tuners, Floyd Rose tremolo bridge and a EMG HZ FH-2 passive humbucker pickup with ESP MM-04 preamp booster and on/off switch.

The Katakana Alexi model is finished in gloss black with yellow pinstripes on front and back of the body, white neck and headstock bindings and gold hardware.
