Edwards models

[sg guy]

-^^^^^^^^^-EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW, price range for a used one?

Depending on what you are looking at $500- $900. I have seen used ones as high as $1100. But those are usually the all Lacquer and have pickup upgrades. I get many of mine in the $600 range.

-as soon as i saw the spec's longfxu posted, i went to reverb and found a killah edwards gold top,. i'm gonna send him an offer tonight, ive been a GIBSON only guy for 36 years,.. but to hell with them, i have this mentality imprinted on my soul that a guitar has got to have some weight to it, most of the new Gibson Les Paul's dont have it anymore, and for 700 frogskins!!,.. PFFFFFFFFFFFF!!! easy decision

I was a Gibson snob until Nov 2015. Thats when I bought my Edwards Sykes model. Now I own many MIJ LP's and I really dig them. I have a few Bacchus and Crews Maniacs that are just fucking solid guitars.

Good luck and let us know if you get it.

If you were to buy one from Japan you have to pay the shipping which is around $130. How much else do you have to pay on import fees when you pick up from shipping company?

All my Edwards but 2 have come from Japan. I also have 2 Crews Maniacs and one Bacchus that have come from Japan. I have never paid an import/customs fee. My understanding is its really hit or miss if you will have a customs fee.

I've bought 3 Edwards from Japan, and haven't been hit yet either with the customs fee, but same understanding on it being hit or miss. Mine are non-LP models, but great guitars for the money. Feel about the level of the old US standard series to me (found out about the China parts later, but hasn't bothered me).

The first couple that I had shipped, I had the customs fee roughly figured out. If I remember correctly, somewhere in the $40 range. I think its a percentage based on the stated value of the guitar. After the first few came thru with no customs fee, I didnt worry about it any longer.

I have a hand crafted Bacchus (Classic series) that I bought for $800 used and it completely hangs with all the LP Standards that I have owned and played.
