    Alexi Laiho (1979-2020)

    Everyone at ESP extends our deepest condolences to the friends, family, and millions of fans around the world of ESP signature artist Alexi Laiho, who passed away suddenly at age 41. We've had the pleasure of being friends with Alexi for many years, supplying him with the guitars he's used for his work in his bands Children of Bodom and Bodom After Midnight. In addition to being recognized on multiple occasions as one of the world's best guitarists, Alexi was a kind and gentle person whose friendship we will miss greatly.

    UPDATE

    We couldn't be more proud of the global ESP community for their hundreds and hundreds of heartfelt contributions to our Alexi Laiho tribute feature. Please take a look at them, and add your own.

    This guy has and always will be my idol, creative inspiration, mentor and favorite guitarist. Not only just guitar and music dumpster sizes but life in general - I've learned so much from him. He was fearless about his music and his image and it showed in both.

          After seeing the 50-ith tribute to his death in January, (typing this in May), I decided that he must be amazing if he has this many tributes. In the car on the way to somewhere I put them on in my headphones and my brain was blown to pieces. It was just amazing. RIP. Definitely an inspiration to my guitar playing.

              I discovered COB when I was around 14-15 on a school trip to Paris .

              I bought hatebreeder and follow the reaper in the airport to the way there , and I remember i was so stunned discovering the magic of COB.. I spent the whole trip Ignoring everyone and listening to the albums

              music is a feeling , a different feeling every time , and the memories it generates cannot be compared to anything else . Thank you Alexi for the memories and the music , and also for making me a better guitar player . . R.I.P
