JAPANESE IMPORT
Here we have a replica model of an early Les Paul from Edwards ESP. This model is based on the 1956 LP, featuring a Gold-top body, P-90 pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, a Maple top, a Mahogany back, a Mahogany neck and a Rosewood fingerboard, and Seymour Duncan SP90-1n and SP90-1b pickups.
There are only minor scratches and little signs of use, and the condition and playability is excellent.
Although it is 4 years old, this guitar is in exceptionally good condition & looks to have been little played. There are a couple of minute marks on the front of the guitar which I have photographed but the high gloss finish makes it really hard to get a clear shot. A beautiful looking Les Paul from Edwards that's also a fantastic player & like all Edwards, is superb quality & playability.
Edwards guitars are assembled in Japan by ESP. The bodies & necks are made at an ESP factory in a northern province in China overseen by Japanese ESP employees. All the finishing is done at a facility in Tokyo, Japan. As far as I am aware, Edwards guitars are generally close replicas of USA guitars & as such, they are just made for the Japanese domestic market. What I will say about them is that they are built to a really high standard & not only that, they use good woods (Ash/Alder/Mahogany etc) and are usually fitted with USA pickups & electrics (CTS pots & switches) and Japanese GOTOH hardwear. The Edwards Les Paul range are always popular & they never hang around very long.
This particular guitar is from 2022 is finished with a beautiful Gold Top. It has been really well looked after. There are no scratches, chips or dents that I can find other than the ones I have mentioned. Otherwise it's excellent. Please check out the gallery photos. As I said, Edwards have given this a vintage style finish which looks great. The P-90 pickups from Seymour Duncan USA sound great. The neck is dead straight, the frets show no visible wear & the guitar plays really well. It's comfortable, weighs just 3.74kg the Seymour Duncan pickups sound fantastic and it looks gorgeous!
