The ESP Guitar Company

Are the new Esp Alexi's coming with a gain booster on them? From the pictures in the catalog and on the website it looks like it is. Does anybody know for sure?

If you're talking about the american ESP models, then no.

The ESP models look like they have a preamp or a gainboost but i highly doubt ESP would include it.

Its just weird because in the pictures you can see a switch either being a gainboost or preamp but it says nothing under specs about it. Thanks for your replies.

I was wondering too, what that switch is for?? Maybe its a kill switch or just a fake like the upper toggle switch on the JH Truckster...

its a 1 way pickup switcher, duh

So the new Alexi guitars do not include the Seymour Duncan Blackouts pickup?

Won't the booster be unnecessary since he now uses the Duncan Blackouts?

The new Alexi guitars DO include the Blackouts. I'm not too sure about the Japanese ESP and Edwards Models though.

OK

theres the USA alexis..

they used to come with a EMG HZ, but for 2008 they come with an extended cutaway and a balckout... apart from the alexi 200.

all non usa alexis.. including the edwards range still ship with EMG's. some of the newer ones ship with EMG's and the MM04 gain booster

i have an SV..

once im in a band im getting an alexi CS sig..\

the money for an edwards can always go towards a real ESP..

I've considered saving up for a Ran, but the deal I've found for an Edwards E-RV-148 just can't be beat, and the guitar isn't too far from what I would order from Ran.

i would get an Ran guitar but i dont have enough money right now
they seem pretty good
