Wait a minut.. 4 guitars??
I thought I was done buying guitars for a while..
Wtf just happend then??
Edwards E-LP-130CD JS
I had my eyes on this model for a while, I liked the LP Custom look and wanted to try this model with the Duncan Distortions. They kept popping up for decent prices recently and when I saw this one which had a good weight at 4,3 kgs(the way I wanted it) I took the chance and bought my first ever ESP Edwards guitar.
When it arrived I was blown away by the look, sounds and quality, this was endeed a great investment. Big solid body guitar sound unpluged with a big low-end grow. This it the perfect sofa guitar to get inspired and creating new music. Neck is beefy, a little bigger than the normal thin U profile but very comftable to play, suits the guitar very well and I love the 43 mm nut size! Quality wise I cant really tell much difference from my ESP standard guitars, it would be in the small details if anything. I like the Distortion picups here, they do sound a little different compared to my other JB equipped guitars.
Edwards E-LP-125SD/P
After the huge success with the JS model I thought maybe I would get one more for variation. I also learned that the hole Traditional series has been discontinued..
I looked at the different models and saw the Goldtop. I always liked the look of a Goldtop LP and I didn't have any P90 picups in my collection. It was a no-brainer so i bought one.
Looks, sounds and plays fantastic! 3,8 kg, so a little leither than the JS but again it suits this model with the P90 very well endeed! Neck is surprsingly smaller than the JS.., on the thin side of a thin U I would say. Very comftable to play! Again I really like the 43mm nut width size, seems to fit my hands quite well. Nice big resonant solid body sound unpluged. The P90 sounds unbelievable good, I have been missing out here! Great lead and solo tones. All 3 positions on the selector switch sounds absolutly great. I like the look of the bright mahogany wood and the Pau Ferro freatboard looks nice and tastly too.
Edwards E-LPC White
As I got the Goldtop I saw this white Custom, It had a nice weight at 4,3 kg and was cheaper priced cause it comes without pickgaurd and Duncans. I knew i had an unused Zakk Wylde EMG set laying arround somewhere so I bought it as an experiment having the LP style from Edwards with differnt pickups.
Unpluged sounds the same as the JS, maybe a little darker in the low-end. Neck is a little beefier than the JS but still very comftable to play. The EMG sounds as expected and I like having one of these LP/Eclipse styles with an 85 in the neck position for variation.
Edwards E-LP-125SD Cherry Sunburst
A few weeks went by and my mind was haunted by these Edwards LPs. There was one model I didn't get but wanted to try out also.. So when I saw this Cherry Sunburst at 4,3 kg and with a nice flamed top and freatboard I made the move!
Looks, sound and plays absolutely fantastic! Unpluged not nearly as big as the JS but still a loud balanced solid body sound with nice low-end. The Neck it just as thin as the Goldtop but with a slightly better profile. Feels really nice to play but I do like the beefier necks on the customs too, these are great players endeed! The Duncan JBs fits this guitar very well and I digging all 3 positions on the selector switch.
All in all I'm very happy with these new guitars, alltought I have so many guitars already they do bring something new into my collection.
These are all from 2022, so fresh out of the oven.
This may be 4 guitars but I actually consider them as 4 variations of the same one guitar!
Customs has bigger headstocks..
Did i mention these has been discontinued by ESP.. https://espguitars.co.jp/products/edwards/e-lp/
Video:
One of my old riffs from the archive(kicks in at 0:13) is finally brought to life in a full music track. The Goldtop get some delush lead and solo tones. Randall Plexi-plus module used for rhythm guitars and Synergy Bogner Übershall is used for solo and leads.
Comparison video for the 3 other Edwards LPs. I had a few ideas and ended up with this 3 section thing. Could have been done better but at least it's should be possible to tell a difference between the 3 guitras in this video. Randall Ultimate Nullifier for right/left panned rhythm, Randall Treadplate module for center rhythm, Synergy IICP module for solo. Same EQ setting, Cab, mic and all 3 guitars on the same track with the same level.
