Edwards E-LP-98LTS, cherry burst, made in Japan 2010. Edwards is a brand under the  ESP umbrella, offering signature models and vintage Gibson and Fender inspired models to the Japanese domestic market. This one was made in 2010 and is part of their 'lacquer taste series', which have a nitro topcoat semi-gloss style finish and a pair of Duncan humbuckers. At a whisker under 4kg, it's a very manageable weight, and the neck is in that nice 'not too thick, not too thin' zone... it just feels easy and comfy all around in the hands. The finish looks great too, it's bright without being tacky. The tone is on the bright side for an LP, which suits me fine: heaps of chime and girth on the neck pickup, plenty of bite and body on the bridge. Tasty indeed.
