hi im new to the forums and im just about ready to buy an ESP alexi (ill have enough money in a week or two) Id buy an sv but theyre hard to find on the internet to ship to north america, alexi is easier to find. but I'm not sure which one of the three to get since i like them all:confused: i like the scythe and sawtooth a bit more than the arrowhead but still... please give me your opinion on which finishing you like more and why?

Welcome to the forums, bro! Anyone of them is cool. they're practically the same thing, the Alexi 600 kicks serious ass. Which ever one is easier to get is probably better, so i'd go with the Alexi 600. I've got an LTD V-500 that is absolutly fantastic, you should check that out as well!

I used to have the Edwards Sawtooth, and now I got the ESP Scythe. I was actually getting the ESP Sawtooth, but I traded it for the Scythe, because it looks cooler in my opinion. :D Well they're both awesome. I like the glow-in-the-dark inlays and pinstripes on the Sawtooth. But the Scythes look also wicked. I'm thinking about getting the Sawtooth though. Would be a nice small Fanboy collection then. :lol

Nah, the SE looks much better. :p Although they're both hot as hell.

Black + Pearloid Binding = SEX

Agreed. But blue + flamed maple top = even better sex.

These are not that common man, you aren't going to get dozens of pictures thrown at you. You've seen it with chrome hardware on Alexi Laiho, take any other pic and use your imagination :) They are also all over eBay in Edwards form with chrome hardware. Piece them together in your mind's eye.
What "judgement" are you trying to make from these pictures.

yes its 4000$
thnx for the pics shane, the only reason i requested pics is cause i wanted to make sure that it was what i wanted, and it is so expect a "new guitar day" from me sometime in the next 15-20 days:D

yeah im getting the sawtooth but the katana guitars auction ended, i hope he reposts it in 2 or 3 days since im getting the money in ten days
i cant get two, thatd cost 8000$ for the same guitar with different finishing.
