About the whole thing on Andry's guitar, I was gonna quote but there were too many posts, so I'll TRY to sum up:
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Have you guys realized what you're doing? Most of you are just bashing the guy for wanting the guitar and talking crap about a guitar that isn't that overpriced actually (STD goes for 2000€, same as USA Jacksons or Signature Ibanez) and basing your answers on your own preferences and not focusing on the fact that is Andry's money and guitar.
Matias, the fact that you now aren't any more into soloing and that you prefer 7 strings and heaviness doesn't mean everybody else wants or needs that. I myself e.g. couldn't live with your setup, I need a Floyd in at least one of my guitars.
Mr. Black metal and pretty much everybody: neck pickup isn't a must by any means! Sure if you like it it's ok, but belive it or not there's people who doesn't like it/prefers to use only the bridge pickup.
And about the versatillity of the guitar, I don't see how 6 strings, 24 frets and Floyd make a guitar not versatile.
Now, to Andry: do you want THAT particular guitar or you just want an offset V with 24 frets and Floyd? If you just want that then go to Thomann or Musik Produktiv, order it and be done. But if what you're after are just the specs then my advice (even though I'm quite an Alexi fanboi) is get the RR24 or, if you don't mind the neck pickup (I just didn't want it on my main guitar) then the SV as someone has suggested is a relly great choice for you. Same body as Alexi's, 24 frets, original Floyd Rose, neck thru and two pickups, which are indeed more versatile than one. So to sum it up, if you don't mind the neck pickup and saving some cash, go for the SV. It goes for around 1600€ at Thomann/MusikProduktiv... and it's an awesome guitar.
Yes, long as fuck rant, but some posts seriously made me go WTF? All in all, no matter how much we bash everybody else's opinion it's all down to Andry.
What the fuck's wrong with them?

I still dont get why people pay more for having just one pickup instead of two.
And I couldnt live with a set up most of you guys use because I hate high gain amps and active pickups, a guitar can have 24 frets and a rose but for me it still doesnt appear versatile because I just don't get the sound I want (and again, not trying to be funny, that doesnt matter to most people here because they buy the alexi equipment.. to build their 'own' sound
).Anyway, I don't see the bashing? The guys just showed him a similiar guitar (which even had been used by his ''guitar hero'', so at least this part of his influences should be satisfied) which is not as expensive as the Esp and with a price above 1k it shouldnt be a bad guitar.
BUT am I playing too old guitars?cant you switch between to pus anymore
? I dont get this neck pickup discussion.. sure my Ibanez looks nice with just one pickup,quite solid, but paying so much for a better look?

Don't you bitch at me Mr Evil Spaniard! I will get you so drunk you pass out and wake up in China!!!!!!
(just kidding)Well, I was still being objective. Here let me explain why I said what:
-I gave examples of guitars that actually had a Floyd Rose!! (even with 24 frets)
-I do still solo, just not as much
-Nobody said 6 strings+Floyd=unversatile. That and one pickup is
I never encouraged for 7 string either...It's not so many guys that have a thing for them anyway.-2 pickups...better to have them and not need them than to not have them and need them
About the examples of other guitars:
ESP SV=standard series...looks alot like the Alexi guitars but has 2 better pickups than HZ and a neck pickup. Also costs more than 300€ less. So you get more for the money and all the features of the Alexi guitar. And yep, this is standard series...doesn't this make the Alexi ESP look overpriced? Also, compare to other real ESP standards like Horizon and such.
Also, my setup is not versatile
All i do is drive a Drop A guitar to a Randall with a wah and OD pedal. I can get decent cleans though and my guitar is pretty versatile. Again, I never said or hinted that this guy should be as "OMGHEAVY" as i am...I kinda would not buy any of the guitars i linked to either so.@Nevermore video:
Can't wait! Fucking love Nevermore!

Ok.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! It actually is fucking overpriced guitar. I would never put my money on something like that. And I also said that in the end it's his choise, I was just trying to help him.
No it isn't must, but still it's good to have one. Versatility. I think guitar with just one pickup is kinda boring in the end.
It is. It lacks neck pickup.
Congrats on stating the obvious.

I'm looking forward to listen to it! What's your current gear?
I watched your Opeth covers yesterday and now this one. Subscribed!

^Dunno if he's using it already, but he recently got a 5150.
@Mr Black metal: dude you're too true and right for me even trying to answering you. What am I saying, answering? I'm not even worthy of quoting you! You win, I'm going to e-mail Thomann right now to get their cheapest own brand guitar and play gr1m black metal with my Metalzone and my Academy amp. Anyone wants to buy my untrue RR24 and my ADA MP1?
It's not paying more for having just one. In the Alexi you are paying the name indeed, noone said it's not like that. That's the only reason signature guitars are sold: the name. But e.g. the RR24 is waaaay cheaper than the RR1, and the AL600 (which btw don't play bad at all) is cheaper than the ESP SV too, to give two examples on the lines Andry is looking for. About your choices, sure those guitars aren't for you, but as you said you're looking for something completely different, but it'd go the same the other way round: I couldn't live e.g. with a Stratocaster and a VOX amp. It's again, all matter of taste, and the guy explained his pretty straightforward.
Versatility depends on what you want. E.g. the C-7 you just got is actually pretty versatile: 7 strings, fixed bridge so you can change tunings in seconds, two pickups with coil split system, 24 frets... And that's cool. But what if I want to play thrash metal with tons of tremolo action and play Vader style solos? I'm fucked! Or what if I want to play blues with my RR24? Sure I can, but won't sound nearly as good as if I try to play it with e.g. Snowy's setup.
And yes the SV is a great guitar, but like I said there's people who DON'T want a neck pickup. That doesn't mean he has to get the Alexi, the RR24 is a solid guitar and, as you tried with me in Musamaailma, so is the AL 600 (if what you're looking for is an offset V guitar with Floyd rose and only neck pickup).

+1 Jose. It seems that he's the only person who can give good arguments/pros/cons. Btw. I'm also a person who just need a bridge pickup and no neck cause I don't like the sound of a neck pickup... it's really muddy. Imo a neck pickup is good for people who aren't able to play clean (COB) solos cause whenever I see Youtube vids of people with 2 or more pickups, they always switch to the neck pickup to avoid their sloppiness but thats my opinion.
@ Andry: what about Edwards guitars? They are at the same price level as the RR24 but better and with the look of the CS guitars.

I was thinking about buying the STD intead of the CS...the CS is overpriced(and you pay the name)....the STD is always a ESP guitar and about 1k € cheaper
I don't know much about the edwards by the way....

I think Andry wants to buy a new guitar with the style of those CS Alexi guitars but then this turns into a Neck vs. Bridge pickup; Jackson vs. ESP; ESP SV vs. ESP CS; RR24 vs. ESP CS, 6 vs. 7 string guitar, Floyd Rose vs. locking trem,... shit.
@ Andry: the Edwards guitars are the same as the Alexi 600 and as good as a STD guitar (I bet) and replicas of the CS guitars. If I were you, I would buy one of those guitars. You can have them for 1000€ with MM-04 boost. Just search for ESP Edwards in ebay
