Re: Pulled the trigger on a Edwards Sykes LP

Great score, congrats! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Great price, even with the $125 shipping from Japan. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] Hopefully yours is as killer as mine and Model 88's because I'm not too sure about Edwards consistency, but if they are all like mine, screw Navigator, I'll stick with the less expensive Edwards.

Yeah, I am looking forward to it definitely. If I am satisfied with the quality, I would probably get an Edwards V copy too. I am sure Navigator makes some great quality guitars, but man I really have a hard time justifying paying more than 3k for a single guitar...
I am not sure about the electronics... Sykes model has double Duncan Distortions, I never liked Duncan Distortions... But I will give them a second chance, if I don't like them I will change the electronics and if that doesn't work either I might go for WCRs who knows? 300 dollars for a set of pickups is a good amount of money so I won't shell that out just like that...
Putting an EMG 85 in the bridge is still an option, I loved the way that pickup sounded in my Les Paul Standard. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]
And as I already have that pickup, it is also the least expensive option. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
