Somebody buy that thing!! You really should (at least go play it). I have its twin that's about eight years older. They are a killer guitar and not just, "for the money", but really nice period. They are just a great deal on top of that. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerang~Junkie Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ditto that! I'm in the same boat on #44. I'll see if I can raid the board game cabinet for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

currypowder Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Does the Edwards have the push/pull switching super circuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerang~Junkie Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 If it's a stock Edwards, JP model it should have P/P pots and will have a small circuit board in the control cavity they call a, "Super Circuit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. They make versions with and without the added circuitry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMENTED Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 The 115 does NOT have the super circuit..guitar is as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerang~Junkie Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm sorry for the bad information, I sit corrected. I forgot Edwards does make a JP relic model that has standard wiring and no Super Circuit. I had temporary HUA - head now extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currypowder Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Regardless, the Edwards is a kick a$$ guitar with the regular or super switching. The price is great, and Demented is a fine chap to deal with, I've had many good transactions with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I've ever seen in person are somewhere in the build process. I don't think he even owns one of his own guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've corresponded some and he's definitely a laid-back crafty guy. I have one of his early ones, number 0004 and it's got a neck like a baseball bat, really resonant, the most "vintage" feel of anything I've played in that it has a worn-i, comfy vibe. I am sure DEMENTED's guitar also has that "built" thing happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sled Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Which factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMENTED Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well....I wondered that myself. I bought it from Japan, and I know Edwards is part of ESP. I know they have factories in Japan and China. I searched the interwebz and came away without a definitive answer. I read that some Edwards are milled up in the Chinese factory then sent to Japan to be sprayed and have the hardware installed and set up. I read some of the higher end stuff is all done in ESP Japan. The Navigator line is also by ESP and I think is a step up from the Edwards and is MIJ. I have also seen Edwards "Custom Shop" stuff with real flame maple tops, nitro finishes and such. I know my guitar is from 2014 so wherever they built the 2014 Edwards models is where it was made....

DEMENTED Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Ok, if you have never seen/played one in person....don't let country of origin scare you off. I have owned 3 Edwards and they all have been great. I have/do own Historic Gibson and USA Gibson Les Pauls at the same time and the Edwards holds it own against them in all areas.
