currypowder Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Here's something you don't see every day. An Edwards red sparkle finished single-cut with some upgraded Dimarzio pickups. The model number is E-LP-108SD and from what I can tell was a limited run of sparkle guitars. The spec page is here:https://www.espguitars.co.jp/edwards/lp/E-LP-108SD.html The guitar was made in Japan and has traditional specs, mahogany body (1 piece) & neck and a maple cap. That's where tradition stops as the top is finished with an eye-popping red sparkle that, well, sparkles. The guitar originally came with a set of Duncans, but has been upgraded with a set of double black DiMarzios, a Super Distortion at the bridge and 36th Anniversary PAF at the neck to give it a more aggressive tone than the Duncans. Some of the hardware has been changed to matching black (strap buttons and switch tip). It plays nicely up and down the neck. I would describe its condition as very good. There are a few minor dings around the back edge and one small one at the top of the headstock. There's also a small finish crack near the nut (finish only). See the pictures. IMO, this is a great gigging guitar. Great single-cut tone that won't break the bank and a top that will be stunning under the lights. It will include the original ESP gig bag. $900 shipped and paypal'd.

Boomerang~Junkie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 These ESP's are truly a great value and will pleasantly surprise you with the build quality (regardless of price). I've played a few and still own a JP version that's a keeper. This sparkle finish is an awesome addition to their line. if I was in toy "buying" mode this would probably be gone. Very cool guitar.
