I am a huge Edwards fan boy, and this is easily one of the best Edwards clips on KZread. Production, narrative, content, control eagerness, objectivity, sound, and not least playing! Excellent video pal. I have Gibsons, attacker, and have been the proud owner of two Edwards, and Edwards totally rule.

Hunter and I were incredibly excited for this video once I finished the final mix. Holy crap this might be my favorite song and mix I’ve done for him! This guitar really does sound great!

Killer riffs dude! Also, classy presentation skills! Love the channel!

Love my Edwards. I bought one around 2008. White with gold hardware and duncans with gold covers. I'm fairly positive the model is an E-LP-130CD. It's been one of my favorite guitars ever since I purchased it through the harmony central gear forums off another poster there. It was barely used when I got it since I believe it was made in 2007.

I love my Edwards lp customs. I have a "vintage black" one and a "vintage white" one. Both weigh just over 10lbs with massive necks. This guitar is freaking sick. I would love to have one.

Finally! Been waiting for this one for a while. Sounds almost as good at it looks and it sure looks good

@Clever Name: There are different sorts of intellectual property (patent) protections. Typically, they are either design or utility. Utility means if something is really novel (like if you could invent a guitar that was invisible) - these are given considerable protection and should be since a lot of work has been put into novel science. The second is a design patent (like what Gibson tried to rely on). So, for example, if your guitar line came on in "dildo pink" Christmas tree shape. The company probably spent a lot of time and money to create this image. However, these are given very little protections now. Gibson lost for multiple reasons having to do with the limited protections given to design patents. All in all, the patent laws are quite fair.

I've always wanted an Edwards LP. I want one even more after seeing this. Damn it!

Take a picture of the neck pickup rout with the pickup pulled out of the way so we can see the wood behind wear the pickup sits. That is where you will see the long tenon.

Edwards guitars are awesome. I've had my white one for years now and I love it. Worth getting one if you can.

Just got an Edwards Flying V for a good price on Reverb. I am stoked!

Nice guitar , great playing .. timing { you playing } was impeccable .

I'm sure you're probably aware, but ESP did release a few Eclipses in this finish as well in 05-06. I have a 4 knob variant of it, but there were 3 knob versions of it as well. Mine is actually pretty heavy, as far as Eclipses go. Thanks for sharing your new guitar! Congrats.

I’ve owned a few Gibson les Paul’s and still own one along with a Gibson V and Explorer. I had a buddy offer to sell me his Edwards les Paul custom and I wasn’t all that jazzed about it since I saw it as a copy but after playing it and really getting a feel for it I fell in love with it. I can honestly say that it competes with Gibson’s. It plays amazingly well and sounds incredible so I’d definitely recommend it to people who want a real feel Les Paul🤘🏼

10s now makes a version of this guitar. It would be cool if you could get them to send you one for review and then compare the two guitars. Anyways, love your videos. Keep up the good work. :)

Your track is Phenomenal it is really cooking - Beautiful Guitar also.

It was probably used as a studio guitar, so it was played alot but not thrashed around a stage and exposed to damage on the road

The Dean Thoroughbred Stealth is a very similar looking/sounding guitar and a lot easier to find! As a bonus the Dean is easier to play the upper part of the neck.

Someday, I hope to visit Japan. Not only for the awesome guitars, but the beautiful people and culture. No wonder mellow, appreciative musicians like Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert are so accepted there. My sister in law is from Okinawa and is the most wonderful person in the world.

Love the channel, love the content. I have 2 Edwards E-lps. Both very different. One is an elp 100ltc triple humbucker Les Paul custom in white. The other is an elp 108sd, their take on a lespaul classic in silver sparkletop. If you wanna do more investigating into Edwards offerings I'll ship em to you as long as they make it back safe.

Jon Nodveit from Dissection used a similar type of Gibson LP in the later part of his career(Its called a Les Paul Custom Classic). That's why I have that Schecter solo 6 Blackjack ATX(it has the same paint scheme as this and that Gibson custom LP). Got it for 400 bucks and its one of my favorite axes and the best single cut I have owned.

You should be able to tell wether it’s a long neck tenon or short, if you take out the neck pickup! Long should go into te pickup routing or even further, short goes just until the pickup routing and is not as wide!

Edwards are legally available in french stores if you are interested.

That track was beautiful 👌

Is there any chance to see a review of Strandberg guitar from you? Cool channel

Guitar sounds good. Love the look.

Love a Hetfield signature anything

I would like you to do a review on Les Paul (The guy, not the guitar) since his playing is actually mind blowing if you take in mind what he was doing and in what time he was doing it.

Possibly the biggest regret in my guitar playing career is not buying a Japan only guitar when I was living there during my Air Force time. I would love the Burny Les Paul with a sustainer or a Tokai Love Rock. But when I was stationed there i didn’t want a “copy” and only wanted an “authentic” Les Paul. #bigmistake

Another great video. Buying a scale and including the weight of each guitar would improve the videos imho.

Finally got my hand on one, too:) its a Black Beauty, tho. Came with a set of bareknuckles nailbombs! Sic thing!

Awesome !! And yeah 18 volt mod really bring emg's to life. I also agree never understood the whole wanting the 81 in the neck. Im like you I'd rather have a alnico 2 or 5 in the neck & then a alnico 5 in the bridge before even a ceramic.

that is my favorite JH LP too. Congrats

Got an Edwards explorer shape one...killer guitar

I've learned the hard way that if you want those top hat reflector knobs ya gotta suck it up and order Gibson knobs. Those less expensive Amazon or even all parts (every time I've seen them) have imperfections and some are not even properly round.

Importing that ax was a genius life hack. An "E-II" isnt quite the same, and a Custom Shop ESP looks and costs outrageous.

The reasoning behind the model numbers is actually so customers can easily identify the higher-tiered models from each year, as the number (in your case, 112), is how many thousand JPY the guitar cost as a recommended retail price. For example, my E-LP-130CD/P (a '54 Les Paul Custom clone) retailed for 130,000 JPY.

Woah I’m surprised at the tone difference between the two 81’s! My E-II, edwards and V with het sets aren’t that far apart.

Hey Hunter, could you please do a video when you have a guitar around with a common set of Seymour Duncans and do a sound comparison against EMG 81/60 (non-mod) (preferably 57/66 if possible) Despite many videos, none seem to really do the job, but the way you did it worked wonders, so it'll surely be perfect for that. Why I'm asking is because, usually I hear good cleans from EMGs, but at a friends place I tried a guitar with an 81/60 into a Line6 Audio Interfaces into TH3 and they sounded so bad (really flat and lifeless) compared to the DiMarzio's in my guitar..

The difference between the two guitars even with just the bridge pickup is pretty big imo. Maybe because of the 18V mod?

Check out epiphone les paul custom prophecy plus. ( I own one) It's basically the same except its 81/85 emg config. Close to the zakk wyld design.
