Alexi's ESP Custom Shop guitars
When Jackson was sold to Fender, Alexi was told that it would take one year for him to have a new custom guitar made. In comparision, ESP offered a deal that would take only three months, so he switched his endorsement to ESP. Alexander Kuoppala and Henkka Seppälä also changed their endorsement. This guitar was used during the European tour.
