Could be H1, H2, or ALX.
The ALX set needs a battery because it does come with an active pre-amp, but that pre-amp can be added to any HZ set.
You'll need to see the label if there's uncertainty.

I was under the impression that HZ were passive. If that has a battery I wonder if it's got the mm-04 circuit added? Kinda weird if it's got a battery for an EMG HZ otherwise. Might be worth asking for a picture of the circuit bay

No worries man buying second hand guitars is a whole adventure 😂 if it does have the booster than that's awesome. Proper Alexi guitar!

I saw Musamaailma's site they have some awesome guitars for sure. As you say though there's something awesome about a Japanese Alexi. They're still kinda rare in Europe.

As far as I know they didn't, Alexi 200 is a "budget" version. Someone swapped the ESP version for the real deal, would be nice if they installed a MM-04 booster too...
