That is one sweet looking guitar that would make Mark Agnasty's eyes pop out. What are the specs on the guitar? Does it have a maple cap or veneer? How are the tuners? They look solid from the photos.

It's a flame veneer over a solid maple cap. The body and neck are Asian Mahogany.

I don't mind the veneer. The tone is there, and so are the looks, even if it's "cheating".

The tuners seem fine. It's stuffed with rolled thick paper to make the tuners fit.

That being said, I've already ordered some Grovers simply because I'm not too big a fan of Kluson style tuners.

Nice guitar! I’m jealous. Despite all the equipment I’ve owned, it’s remained a dream guitar for me to have a Jimmy Page / 59 type Les Paul like that. Someday.

Yes, I was refering to ESP imports under US laws, as I know inside Japan there is no recourse or reciprocity on trademark or patent law.

Does ESP not wholesale import the LTD LPs to the states either? or any of the slightly questionable models?

I see everyone having them, but I do not see them in retail stores often.

And by "honor" I mean the Japanese mfg is not going to sneak imports that are deemed illegal on US soil -From a reseller -sure -but Chines Mfgs are all over direct imports that are illegal -they are constantly breaking the law.

Japan has its own copyright, trademark and patent laws. As long as you secure equivalent protection in their system, it will be the same as if your patent or copyright or trademark spans borders. I hold one patent in both the US and Japan and had to apply separately with local legal representation to get them awarded. They were awarded several years apart also. But now for me it’s as if the same patent was issued across both countries.

It is TOO funny that "Sweet Edwards Guitar" thread is mostly about Gibson dumb-@$$ery. The fail - my god.....I really really need to call them.

And Gibson doesn't want to stop anyone. They just want a "piece" of the action. $10 on every new Ibanez Artcore, Dean V/Z and half the ESP line would make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
