2010 Edwards ESP Japan E-LP-85 SD Cherry Sunburst & new Hard Case




£649.00




JAPAN IMPORT


Here's another excellent guitar from Edwards ESP. This Les Paul model is based on a Les Paul Standard and with its USA Seymour Duncan humbuckers it's a lovely guitar. Edwards guitars are part of the Japanese ESP group & this one has the usual top quality build and specs from this guitar builder. Mahogany body with Maple top, Mahogany neck & USA Seymour Duncan pickups.


Edwards guitars are made in Japan by ESP. You won't see very many in the UK & every one of those I have seen has been an import. 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 finished in a Cherry Sunburst. It had some small chips on the top of the headstock and another on the front edge near the 3 way switch. They have been repaired & I have highlighted them in the gallery photos. This guitar has been used but any marks are consistent with age The frets have around 70% life left and the guitar plays really well.

All in all it's an excellent guitar from ESP that you probably won't find here in the UK


Hard Case

As said many times, all my guitars come shipped in a new black hard case which is included in the price. I find this is the safest way to avoid damage in transit.  Alternatively, if you are collecting the guitar and, like some buyers have cases coming out of their ears, that's no problem, I'll adjust the price (usually around a £40 discount) and I can usually find you an old gigbag to take the guitar away in. The only hard and fast rule I have is that i won't ship a guitar in a gigbag
