So now i finally bought an Edwards =) Awesome !!

[MRO]

Hi fellas. Specially you edwards folks^^

A few days ago I bought an used upgraded Edwards 130 LTS in Lemondrop. I'd probably prefer the tobacco burst or the JP colour, cause Im not really into lemonbursts, but this one is kinda cool, so its all good hopefully !

So now here are the upgrades :

- WCR Green/Moore pickups
- Alu Faber tailpiece with locking symstem (bridge and tailpiece both relicd.)
- Gibson reflector knobs
- NOS 50s Bumble Bee caps


Including a gator hardshell case. Thats it. All together for ~ 1200 $
Here are some pics, but they dont really show the natural colour.

Ill take some new shots as soon as I get the guitar.
Unfortunatley I probably wont get it until friday.

Outstanding purchase!

I know where you bought that, and with the ton of upgrades it has, it was a smart purchase indeed. And for an Edwards, it sure has nice inlays, way nicer than mine. ???

Congrats!


I tip my drink to you . . .

Very nice choice man! Those 130's are smokin! Take loads of pics once she arrives!

Took the liberty of linking some pics for people to see

Just checked out ebay and some google image searches.

The 130 comes with better inlays. Did not know that till now.

Always a few surprises.

Awesome. I have thought about getting myself a Peter Green/Gary Moore burst like that for ages.
Good price for the lot, especially the WCRs included in it.

I'm gonna keep looking for something with nibs though

Hi MRO
as I told ya
that's it

CONGRATULATION!!!

 

[MRO]

Thanks all = )
Yes it was a smart purchase I think : D.
I hope I will still like that burst after a while.

About the inlays..dunno if they are nicer than yours, havent seen them yet. But you got a 92er corrct? Cause I thougth they all got the same inlays (perloid dish).

What do you mean by 'better' inlays?

I'd love to have one with nibs too...but you cant always get what you want...

I've got an old 90LTS, now they call 'em 98's.

Your's look a lot more like Italian celuloid, what was in the org bursts. Mine are kind of milky looking, no real definition.

 

[Ace Warslave]

how do you tell the models of edwards without serial numbers?

 

[tonebone]

On the basic LP's, "Edwards" is white on the 85/92SD's. Gold on 90/98LTS's.

Early 90LTS's didn't have pup covers.

 

[Ace Warslave]

thanks tonebone mines white so what year does that make them..

 

[tonebone]

Just make's it a E-LP-85SD. Dunno what year. Some of the early 85's had spectacular tops.

See my avatar? Serial # (I guess it's a serial #) unside the neck pup cavity. Start's with 04, guessing - and that's a big guess - mines a 2004.

 

[Ace Warslave]

heres a pic next to my orville and norlin custom..

 

[tonebone]

Wow! Is that trans red?

More than likely a spec order somewhat, if so. Maybe a different model #.

Are the pups stock? All black is not ordinary for Edwards.

 

[Ace Warslave]

dont know much about it ..i bought it off ebay for about $800.00 australian dollars plays really nice sounds good,I havent changed anything on it

Yeah tomorrow Ill get her = )
