Seven Strings of Brawling Brutality Since Whitechapel's 2006 inception and 2007 debut record, The Somatic Defilement, rhythm guitarist Alex Wade has consistently supplied deathcore delights, and this signature ESP LTD Alex Wade XJ refuses to pull any punches. Considering its 27-inch baritone scale, 7-string design, lone bridge-mounted humbucker, and unwavering EverTune bridge, Sweetwater's despots of the down-tuned and distorted agree that this axe is the bare-knuckle brawler they've been seeking. Maple, swamp ash, walnut, padauk, and Macassar ebony comprise the guitar's pentacle of foundational forces, while its malleable musicality is wielded through the kaleidoscopic capabilities of the DiMarzio D-Activator 7 humbucker. A 5-piece neck, carved for speed and power, sports a wide-radius fretboard that makes painless work of traversing the instrument's 24 frets, while the eye-catching bridge and locking tuners grant your sounds “Eternal Refuge” in stable tuning.
