That Alexi tone!
Looking for an Alexi inspired tone, look no further.
Metal AF. Not as easy to install as it's stated but everything's there.

Perfect
I installed this into my ESP LTD Alexi 600 and it really does make the guitar sound a lot like Alexi's. the ABQ boost makes a big difference, and I hardly ever turn it off. All in all, it's the perfect pickup for whoever wants to play finnish melodic death metal, especially Children of Bodom.

Get ready for that amazing, powerful mid-punch!
History:
I've always been fascinated by Alexi's tone - so simple yet powerful and punchy. After trying to mimic it for many years there has always been something missing. So finally I decided to give this pickup a try. It got installed into an Ibanez RG350DXZ and boy did it sound good!!!
Sound&Feel:
Not only it sounds amazing, but it feels that way too - juicy and powerful, yet articulate. As for the million dollar question - how 'Alexi' is the tone - I can safely say it is EXTREMELY 'Alexi'. I've been able to nail the tone of each of COB's albums. Thanks to the internal preamp, the guitar is now screaming when an artificial harmonic is played.
Pros&Cons:
Build quality is outstanding. Installation is quite easy really and you've got everything you need in the kit.
The only thing I find inconvenient about it is the preamp gain control is hard to reach when installed on a front-routed guitar. So make sure to set it up to your liking BEFORE closing the guitar.
Final Words:
Great sounding pickup, definitely delivers that Alexi sound and feel. I doubt there's a better one to get you there.
