Check out these "Edwards" guitars, seemingly Japan only.

http://www.espguitars.co.jp/edwards/

The first one on the through neck ones is GAS city central and less than a J custom

feylya · 11-05-2006 3:51pm

It also has 27 frets... Oh Hungus, come here a moment will you?

Doctor J · 11-05-2006 3:57pm

9 piece neck through, gotta love that

jcoote · 11-05-2006 4:01pm

jesus now they are severly good...what does the cost translate into factory to door???

Patricide · 11-05-2006 5:53pm

god dam that japenese custom shop, so many class guitars thatl never see this side of russia.shame really, me thinks hungus will like

lee_baby_simms · 11-05-2006 5:59pm

You could take someones eye out with one of those.

Karl Hungus · 11-05-2006 6:11pm

Yes, now that's more like it!

Doc_Savage · 11-05-2006 7:04pm

god... i could see myself settling down with one of these...:o

What's the story with these guitars?
are they available anywhere else apart from japan?

Doctor J · 11-05-2006 7:09pm

Don't think so. It must be ESP's domestic brand. Thank **** the internet allows connosuirs like us to lay our sweaty hands on the stuff they tried to keep from us

Johnny Storm · 12-05-2006 4:25pm

"Hyper Wepon" ? The name alone is reason enough to buy

sei046 · 12-05-2006 4:34pm

Edwards are great. Known about them a good while

Voodu Child · 13-05-2006 5:52pm

So where can I buy one? Those JCustom type ones are calling out to me...

Karl Hungus · 13-05-2006 5:53pm

Mmmm, nice.

feylya · 13-05-2006 5:55pm

All those ESP's and I can't see the one I want

Voodu Child · 13-05-2006 6:02pm

Ahhhhh...the devil is in the details...pretty lousy bolt on design. I think ill stick to Ibanez..nice guitars all the same.

feylya · 13-05-2006 6:03pm

However, the ones on the page Doc J linked to are neck through... No pesky heels, only gorgeous Japanese curves.

Voodu Child · 13-05-2006 6:04pm

Now i'd definitely have one of these Edwards...id wager theyre pretty much as good as the Gibsons theyre churning out these days, at half the price. Nice

feylya · 13-05-2006 6:09pm

Yeah, the LP copies are seriously GAS worthy.

Voodu Child · 13-05-2006 6:36pm

rakuten.co.jp stock that nice neck-thru (Yen116,000), and they ship internationally..

*strokes chin* interesting...;)

Edit - the pics

Karl Hungus · 13-05-2006 7:11pm

Oh baby that is swish! Stop tempting me with nice things!

feylya · 13-05-2006 7:55pm

Christ, I hate the side dish input :eek:

Karl Hungus · 13-05-2006 8:49pm

Ah, well that wouldn't put me off if I were going to buy it.

Doctor J · 13-05-2006 9:30pm

And I've also discovered Bacchus... who have caused my GAS gland to implode and **** itself out sideways

The pearloid binding... jaysus... GAS...

feylya · 13-05-2006 9:31pm

Christ, that white one is nice.

Doctor J · 13-05-2006 9:34pm

Yup, 35" scale, handmade, superb wood, bartolini 3 band preamp and about a grand after shipping and taxes if you find one second hand.

GAS. Like crazy Mexican bean GAS.

Buy it! You know you want to!

The_g-man · 13-05-2006 9:35pm

Is there a price for the second one Doc?

Also voodoo_child, do you have a link to that guitar for Yen116,000? Makes this link seem like daylight robbery.

Yup

feylya · 13-05-2006 9:50pm

Damn, those LP's are nice!

The_g-man · 13-05-2006 9:53pm

At just under a grand for the one bass remaining, I think I'll pass. My new Ibanez should be more than enough bass for me to get to grips with.......... for now.:rolleyes:

Patricide · 14-05-2006 12:07am

116000 yen, thats like 819 quid, What would shipping and taxes be though?

Shipping usually wouldnt be more than E150 from japan, by EMS. Duty & tax works out as about 25% of the total (guitar + shipping). Japanese shops often show two prices, as they dont charge VAT on exports.

It wasn't me! · 14-05-2006 8:24pm

Dear Lord Doc! There was a need for a cold towelling when I saw that bass! You bad, bad man you!

The_g-man · 15-05-2006 4:13am

Woke up to a nice reply from rakuten this morning:

It becomes the reply which used translation software.

Thank you for an Inquiry.
We have not accepted the order from overseas. Moreover, cannot be sent to overseas.
I am sorry to have not been unable to reply to expectation.

Thank you.

Looks like I might have to line up a nice holiday.:p

Voodu Child · 15-05-2006 5:35pm

Its quite possible that they wont export that particular line of guitars. However, the ordering system isnt half as friendly as ishi, so it may just be down to that. I have a few links of pages with pointers for international orders if you want them.
