Heres my Edwards Les Paul from Japan
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 10:55 pm
I figured since i went through all the work of posting this another topic here on the board i would copy and paste it into a new thread here.
From the day i bought a Edwards LP i ended up selling both of my old Gibson Les Pauls(classic and standard). This edwards smoked em both and was half the price($850 shipped from Japan)
I will now copy/paste from the other thread...
Ill tell you what, you should look at the Edwards Les Pauls. I bought one and ended up selling both my GIBSON LES PAULS because of them, you can get them for about $850 shipped from japan. They are truly great guitars, they are owned by ESP but go under the name edwards in Japan, they are unreal. Here are some pics of mine.
all the specs are that of older gibsons, all craftsmen ship is perfect, they use the old method of mounting the neck to the body as gibson used to do before it switched over in the late 70s i think it was?
Here is the site, i will direct you directly to the edwards sections, but the have many other brands that are top notch. I guess thats what $5hr workers get you out there rather than the same guys making them here for $50hr+

The series i bought was the Lacquer Taste Series, I bought the 98LTC..These use NITRO Finishes so they will age and get better.

They have many nice les paul variations there though
**EDIT**
also i ended up changing the tone and volume knobs to gibson black top hats shortly after these pics were taken(couple days after i got it year or two ago) They look 1000x better with the black/gold gibson top hats.
