      You could tell his health was deteriorating dramatically by his appearance recently. I hadn't paid attention to CoB stuff in years, but about two months ago I came across a video of Alexi, and my first thought was "wow, he doesn't look good." So as sad as it is to say, I wasn't totally shocked to hear of his passing.

He passed away too young. I wish he was still here making music.

    • @user-lv7ph7hs7l
      @user-lv7ph7hs7l 5 месяцев назад

      Well it's basically Alexis interpretation of a Randy Rhoads Jackson, you can get those pretty cheap and just stick to the bridge pickup and put in an EMG 81 or similar. That will get you very close to an Alexi Flying V in looks, sound and feel. These Randy style Vs are awesome. Well balanced, light, durable, easy to produce with high quality for lower cost and with a Randy V (like JS32 RR 300 bucks) you still have the neck pickup if you want to play some other music since it's a great guitar in general. I plan on getting two, one will br loaded with Randy style pickups, maybe a little less spicey and the other one I'll stick my EMGs in for an Alexi and general purpose metal guitar.
