You can get the Japanese market version with the more correct RR shape and Made in Japan for the same price. The only difference is the headstock says "EDWARDS" instead of "ESP"

ha ha ha ha, i just find it funny for some reason -
"More correct RR shape?"
Not really, it has exactly the same shape as the normal ESP and LTD Laiho guitars. see for yourself.
THIS is a Rhoads.
THIS is that Edwards.
And THIS is the ESP.
So where does the "more correct RR shape" thing come in?Comment
-
cos the horn is shorter on the edwards one Durrr..
Say, I smell bacon.Does anyone else smell bacon?

Maybe they should call it the "Sameho" model. :ROTF:The only solution to GAS is DEATH...Comment

How are "edwards" and "esp" the same company. I've seen this about a guitar on ebay too. An ESP guitar, but says EDWARDS on the headstock. Anyone know what's behind this?Comment

Edwards is a Non-Export brand of ESP
I have one of their LP custom copies and it is an excellent guitar.Comment
-
IMO that guitar is the ugliest RR copy ever made. Not for me I guess.Comment

The American market LTD has the weirder looking longer lower horn and is made in Korea for the same price as this Japanese one is all I was pointing out. No need to go over the fact that tons of people on this forum hate Alexi for being famous and accepting paid endorsements.Comment

I've heard Alexi say in interviews that they had to elongate the lower wing to sell it outside Japan, for fear of being sued by Jackson.
You can see for yourself on the Japanese ESP website:Originally posted by lynchfan6 View Post
The order of brands in Japan is: ESP, Navigator, Edwards, Grassroots and then LTD.
In Japan there are no copyright/trademark issues for most of the best known guitar shapes. All guitars with "LP" in the designation are Les Pauls. You'll never guess what TE, ST, SG, FV, EX, etc. stand for! They do make original guitars too, but a few people here have Edwards Les Pauls. It may be gaudy, but I like the original E-CY-165CTM (the number in a name usually designates list price in 1000s of Yen):

The backs of them are cool too:
They look even better in non-manufacturer photos. Here are some pics, but they're seriously large images so I'll just give links:
