Safe to say, this Japanese Edwards nailed it!<\/p>\n<p>This particular model is an E-LP-STD from 2005 in a Honey Burst finish. It evokes memories of a Japanese lawsuit-era Les Paul copy, but with modern specs like a remarkably light weight, fantastic pickups, pots, and hardware. Truly the best of both worlds!<\/p>\n<p>Key features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(Neck) Seymour Duncan SH-1n (&#8217;59)<\/li>\n<li>(Bridge) Seymour Duncan SH-4 (JB)<\/li>\n<li>Tuners: Gotoh SG301-04<\/li>\n<li>Bridge: Gotoh GE101Z<\/li>\n<li>Solid maple top with a flamed maple veneer<\/li>\n<li>Solid mahogany body, no pancake body!<\/li>\n<li>Weighs just 3.5 kg without compromising on the tonewood! Pretty crazy for a Les Paul, right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Top-tier tonewood quality. The guitar is delightfully lightweight, yet resounds with the rich sustain you expect from a Les Paul. The neck feels extremely smooth and plays like butter. It&#8217;s comparable to a Gibson neck, but\u2014as is often the case with Japanese models\u2014perhaps slightly slimmer and faster.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of feel, the instrument plays like a high-end Les Paul with a modern touch, without losing its classic character.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of the two Seymour Duncan pickups is dynamic: the bridge pickup packs plenty of output, while the neck pickup is inspired by a warm-sounding PAF humbucker, without any jarring volume drop between them.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, all the hardware and electronics are high grade\u2014fully equipped with Gotoh parts and solid, heavy-duty Japanese pots.<\/p>\n<p>In very good condition, practically mint. The frets are dead straight with 100% life left and zero fretwear! Fully set up by our luthier and delivered with fresh strings, a gig bag, and documentation.<\/p>\n<p>In short: looking for a modern Les Paul with a classic look that runs circles around many a Les Paul Studio? You\u2019ve come to the right place!<\/p>\n<p>We are a shop; test plays are available by appointment. Shipping is always an option, as are trade-ins (at trade-in values). All guitars come with a 3-month warranty on hidden defects or technical faults (excluding normal wear and tear).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a subsidiary of ESP, you carry quite a responsibility to deliver.
