I don't think anyone on this forum would know what ESP paid their Chinese workers who probably have to go through a training course before they even start working at the ESP Chinese factory.
There are also Japanese ESP employees working at the ESP Chinese factory as far as I know.

I doubt that Edwards are made from Honduras Mahogany but I could be wrong.
The wood doesn't look like Honduras Mahogany to me and I would expect the weight to range from the heavy side to the lighter side as it is in Gibson's case when they are not weight relieved.
The majority of the Edwards seem to be on the lighter side doesn't seem to fit Honduras Mahogany.

Gibson has to choose it's Honduras Mahogany cuts carefully to produce lighter guitars and this ups the price.
