New Edwards E-LP model?

[joebonsai]

Anybody familiar with these:

EDWARDS E-LP-125ALS HSB

EDWARDS E-LP-125ALS HSB

are these also a PM (pure material) or a kind of unreliced E-LP-130, with a pair of Seth Lovers?

Merry X-mas

Looks nice...

Hot damn!
I must admit that Edwards top carve are so damn spot on to a 50 Les Paul
The back looks like something different than their usual Asian mahogany as well nice

Freakin awesome!

Joe that's something interesting there. They claim its all lacquer, yet as you noted the pickups are Lovers and not Antiquities. Also no mention about the internal electronics. So not an unreliced 130, but probably something close.

shit. I should have waited 2 months. Looks sweet!

I just picked up the ESP 2011 catalog and it is in in there with one finish option as "cherry sunburst". There is a picture of the control cavity which looks to be the same CTS parts as the 130. If I can scan and post the catalog section later I will.

Cheers,

Seems like they finally started doing the body binding so that it's clear and crisp all the way around from the top side view, nice! That and the slightly off-shaped portion of the body on the upper bout (which it appears they haven't done anything to) were really my only two minor gripes with Edwards.

 

[GRuggier]

Oh man.... Please do!

If I can scan and post the catalog section later I will.

Cheers,

Very cool. Someone in the Edwards office had a good idea. Must've been lurking on our forum.

 

[Gabriel]

So when should we expect them on ebay?

 

[wulfman]

Excuse the crappy scan with the strange lines across the finish, it was the first attempt on our new scanner. You can see the CTS pots and PIO condenser though.
Edit: I just noticed it is "All LAcquer" which makes this one of the cheapest, if not THE cheapest MIJ guitar to offer this glossy lacquer finish. I guess when you spray it in China the rules are a bit looser and the employee time doesn't matter so much.

Yep, what you are showing in the catalogue is very very close to a 130 without the relicing. Its got the proper internals, just a difference in the pickups--Lovers vs Antiquities. This is more what I was looking for when I bought the 130. Glad to see that they are now doing it.

 

[GRuggier]

Thanks for the scan! Gonna have to buy this soon as its availabe!

 

[tonebone]

yes, veneer . . . but this is easily the most bang fur the buck going right now. This has it all goin' on.

If they could do this also in a plain top, non veneered (1958 style) they would have it all sewn up. (you listenin' over there . . . ?)

It is . . . my most humble opinion, ESP Edwards-san.

 

[Udonitron]

Shit me rikey & want one!!

 

[slapshot]

any other colours in this all laquer series?

 

[GRuggier]

Oh man if this was in a Lemon Drop!
