I finally bit the bullet and ordered an Edwards LP. :banana:

Man, it's gonna be a long week waiting for this thing to show up. I hope it's as high quality as people have mentioned. But from looking at the pics, I think it should be pretty nice.

I'll do a full review once it's here. But for now, here's the pics:

Those are gorgeous looking instruments. I cant wait to hear what it sounds and feels like.

Be sure to post a review when you get some time with that baby.
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Congrats, the guitar looks great and welcome to the Edwards club. You're going to love the thick chunky neck on that les paul.

I'd recognize that tree....that's Katana.

I bought both my Grecos from him.

That's a sick looking axe \m/ I just don't like the pickguard, lol.
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

That is probably the guitar I want most (today :laugh2:)

Sykes is a LEGEND and anything to do with him is just awesome.

Got my money in a suitcase...
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Ohhhh I was watching that one for a while! Is that the only one they have? I def. want one of those, Ebony fretboard, long tennon, Duncan Distortion set... perfect! Can't wait to see the review with pictures!
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Man, that Paul looks like it could rip you in half. Very cool, congrats!!!
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Thanks everyone.

Indeeed it is coming from Katana. At least I hope so since I haven't seen any emails from him since I paid for it yesterday morning... :eek13: Cost was $825 including shipping.

There was also a vintage white one, a la Randy Rhoads. It was a tough decision. I want them both. The GAS attack is bad right now... :D
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Congrats :bigthumb:...I've come *this* close to pulling the trigger on that guitar. I was gonna Brian Robertson-ize it.

I wouldn't worry about Tak. He was a little slow letting me know he got my paypal... When he emailed me the EMS tracking number it was about 36 hours after I paid I think, and the guitar was already in the states :bigthumb:
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Congratulations on the killer Edwards score! The pickups are pretty hot on that guitar and I like the look a lot. I have been reasearching these guitars for weeks now but have yet to have the kahones to pull the trigger. I am jonesing for the 335 style guitar, the E-SA-130 LTC, in vintage white with the thicker neck. The guy from Katana is very good to deal with from what I've seen and heard. Let us know what you thought of his packaging too when you get it.:bigok:
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Yeah, it comes with Duncan Distortions in both the bridge and neck, unlike the other Edwards LPs which usually sport the JB/59 combo. I already have another axe with the JB/59 combo so this should be a cool change. I'm real curious what its gonna sound like with the DD in the neck though. I hope it's not muddy.
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

I'd like to hear some clips from it when you get it to hear the dual distortions.

The package from the guitar is very nice. The whole guitar bubble wrapped. The fretboard is also wrapped in japanese newspaper:banana: . The neck is supported buy a cardboard roll. The guitar was in tight fit in the box to add even more protection, so the guitar doesn't move around while shipping. You don't need to worry about the shipping at all unless they drop from a high place but it bound to break something like that anyways not matter how its packed.

+1. Packed very very well
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

Put a set of Bareknuckle Cold Sweats in that and it'd be awesome :)

They were designed with his tone in mind, so theyd be the perfect match for that guitar.
 
Re: Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

They seem like cool guitars. I would want one, but id have to try it first. That one does look badass though
