( Yeah, yeah...I know, a guitar such as this should have a hard case. I agree!. They only supply them with the hollow bodies )   Just about everything you would want in one of these guitars. Action is fast and the Ebony fretboard is SMOOTH (as a baby's bum). The specs on this guitar outstrip a lot of original Guitars for which you will pay mega bucks for. These are made for by ESP for local market only in Japan. Outside of Japan you would buy an ESP guitar. To obtain one you have to pay your money in advance and wait for anything up to 4 months, or....buy one off me ! I've already done the waiting. Any guitar that is successful in Japan is worth having as the Japanese will only buy quality. It is said that the major USA guitar manufacturers only send their best stock to Japan  Any little scratchy bits you see in the pics on the truss rod cover is the protective plastic film. I only have been able to get one of these in red. As this model is now discontinued this makes this one very rare. You can buy it, but it ain't goin cheap !    Check out some reviews.try:  http://search.harmony-central.com   Also see seymour Duncan's site : http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/ We have all heard how Japan is building some of the best Fenders in the world today, well the ESP/Edwards guitar company is doing the same.

I have bought one myself and have been giging with it since and getting a lot of remarks about this guitar, they are outstanding!! Im a pro muso and I can tell you I would not use rubbish on stage. I took it to a music shop in Newcastle to fit it to a nice hard case and the guys in the shop couldnt believe it and I must say they have never even seen one before, but they fell in love with it. We compared it to a $7,000.00 black beauty "G" brand les paul on the same amp with the same settings and guess what? excactly the same sound with better sustain. Im playing the Tamworth Music Festival this comming friday and I'll be playing mine in front of a very critical crowd with lots of pro musos hanging around, I'm that confindent of this guitar!
