Edwards GAS...You feel me??

[wakjob]

So, how does one go about importing an Edwards? There's eBay, but any other options?

No, their ebay store seems to work just fine. They give some great details on the guitar you're looking at.

When my friends Edwards LP came in, it was slammin'. Way better than we were expecting. He ordered it from their ebay store. No drama or problems.

Oh yeah, we both work part time for a store that deals Gibson.

But, OP, I feel you. Same with all the Alexi signature wanting.

I wanna say that apart from ebay, you can import one via Ishibashi Music. The order just has to be a minimum of 50,000 yen.

I have had quite a few of them, and they have never let me down in anyway. Great guitars.

I'm an Alexi Laiho fanboy, so I've wanted one of his Edward sigs for a long time. The American market ESP/LTD's have the wrong body shape, and the Import ESP versions with the correct shape are insanely expensive.

I wouldn't mind owning either shape. I like the concept of a larger Rhoads.

Wouldn't mind owning an Alexi Blackie or the Pink Sawtooth.

I love Malice Mizer!! That Edwards is WAAAAAAAY cheaper than his ESPs. Those prices are a bit... insane.

I like Mana's guitars, but 21 frets and one pickup is a bit odd to me. They're definitely cool, but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

And is it weird that I think he's incredibly sexy???

Of course you have

Of course I've GAS'd over edwards guitars! It's the only way for me to (maybe), get a Cygnus so I can be a Leda fanboy.

I wanted an edwads until i learned they are made in china.

Even if they are made in China (which is still a rumor), they're finished and get a last QC check in Japan.

As I said before, Rasmus did the same thing with Suhr, and Dingwall with the Combustion, and they got a lot of praise.

I am really interested in hearing how Edwards guitars match up to the new LTD Elites as the current LTD models have nothing on Edwards.

I have an Edwards E-CY-165CTM and it is amazing. It plays and looks amazing! I definitely plan on getting another Edwards guitar some time soon.

 

[Sicarius]

LTD Elites are just rebadged ESP Standards.

Just like the E-II series are the ESP Standard Series for the Exports.

LTD Elites are just rebadged ESP Standards.

That's odd, considering a lot of people equate LTD to mean cheap. Even if it's not the case, I'd bet quite a few people would be turned off by it.

love my Edwards LPC!

 

[feilong29]

My Alexi Edwards was probably the nicest guitar I've ever owned; I have a custom shop Alexi and the Edwards is easily on par with it! The only downside is that having a single pickup makes it one-trick pony and gets boring after a while. I might try to get one made with a slanted single coil in the neck

I have wanted one of those for years.

with the way ESP restructured their line up, and that they've come out saying the LTD Elites are made in the same Japanese factory as the standard series, it stands to reason that they're a new standard series model, just with a different badge.

at least to me.
