Edwards Japan, anyone own one of these.

[THOMO]

Anyone own one of these???? Used around the $500 mark.

[Frigo89]

OFR + Duncans + ESP by another name = awesome deal for $500

I don't own one, but I've contemplated getting one for quite some time now. I haven't heard a bad thing about them.

ESP lawsuit Eclipse... What's not to like? If short-scale is your thing, that is.

[Grandturk]

That's not the Jackson headstock - that's a regular ESP head, innit?

[THOMO]

Its the Japanese market only guitar, between Edwards and Tokai they make some really nice stuff. When it comes on the second hand market they are great buying. That is a flamed maple cap on that guitar with a Alder body. They list it as a 27fret 25,5 scale OFR with Seymour Duncans.

Eclipse? The original Eclipse was a Tele shape, like Scott Ian and Izzy Stradlin played. The newer Eclipse is the Les Paul shape.

+1. Can't beat that. It's an absolutely beautiful guitar!

[THOMO]

That was a 130 model here is a higher 165 model they are around the $900 to $1000 mark as a A rated used guitar.

I like the blue one better. The other one has a nice top and neck, but there's too much abalone bling going on for me. If they'd have stuck with just creme or ivoroid binding and not all that abalone in there, it'd work much better IMO.

[THOMO]

So do I, now we need someone to buy one and do a test on it!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know... I thought that was what we were talking about (the Les Paul shape, the ACTUAL Les Paul shape, not the fucked-up US market Eclipse with the goofy lower cutaway and three knobs.)

I can't see the pics while I'm at work unless I try to... The only Edwards I ever see for sale anywhere are the Les Paul copies, so I assumed that was what he was asking about.

[toejam]

Oh. LOL It's a cool strat-type shape, a little pointier like an Ibanez RG.

[THOMO]

Like this one I just brought from the Land of the rising Sun.............
