Then I hear ya.. still a sweet playing guitar though. What pickup are you going to put in there?

It is, I'm actually really surprised at how nice the fretwork and neck are! I don't care for the light color of the fretboard either, but it is pretty dry, and I'm not precious with my gigging guitars - I'm super excited about how well it plays though. @Fiesta Red wasn't lying, it's easily the equivalent of any US Gibson V I've played, although not as nice as a custom shop or m2m

I've got @scottosan makin me a zebra Roxy, which is going to be much more my speed (as in, traditional speed metal) - Fuller, less weedy, but still super tight. The Roxy is the best 24.75 scale pickup I've ever come across honestly, at least for the types of tones I go for. It absolutely kills. I do like Wagner stuff quite a bit for lower output, and the Aldrich is decent too. Weirdly, I love the sh-14 but hate the sh-5 - go figure.

Yes I wasn't crazy about the lighter rosewood on mine either and it is quite a bit darker than yours. But the feel and stability are there for me. Fretwork was excellent and consistent. I really like Edwards even if there is some discussion as to where certain models are built, assembled, and finished/ quality control checked. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right.

Totally agree - it's a relatively inexpensive "gigging guitar" for me, so I would have been okay with "playable" Epiphone style quality.

But it's way, waaaaay better than that, especially for what I assume is a Chinese guitar - the fretwork is immaculate honestly, even on the higher register. It's quite easy to play leads on, which I wasn't really expecting

After I replace the sh-5 (the 59 sounds great, it's staying in!) it's going to be a go-to live guitar for me, and it will satiate my flying V GAS

It's a Langner dcp1 clone - which is on basically every single bay area thrash record

Testament, Forbidden, Exodus, etc

Can't wait to hear some clips of the preamp........sweet V!
 
You can call a good portion of that V cream or off-white but we all know it’s really tan.
