It`s licenced to ESP, and the dude who sells claims it`s a much higher end guitar than LTD (but not as high as the original ESP ofc). He also says they`re only available for sale in Japan and Russia. Link to the add: http://www.finn.no/finn/bap/object?finnkode=20329862 I think it looks like an exciting guitar, but I`m wondering if anyone has ever tried one ? It`s rigged with both org. FR and Seymour duncan pups, so I presume it can`t be that bad of quality since they`ve spent some proper hardware on it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They do cheaper versions of ESP guitars just like LTD although the Edwards guitars are made of a higher quality than most LTDs - but not as good as the actual ESP models! Edwards guitars are not sold outside of Japan because a lot of the Edwards models are lawsuit copyright-guitars like the Fender Strat shape or the Gibson Explorer or Les Paul shape. The copyright prohibits these guitars to be sold in stores outside of Japan. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Also with shipping from Japan and taxes they come out as expensive as a real ESP so why bother getting an Edwards guitar? Only if you want a specific model or get a good deal on it, otherwise go for a real ESP You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

No point spending 600e on guitar if it arrives and you are not satisfied with it completely You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
