I'm not sure about the Edwards version, but the real deal JP guitars actually have a pretty slimmed-down neck. His #2 is a '59 that he shaved the neck on.

Glad I got mine when I did. It was new from Ishabishi, and cost me about $725 shipped to my door.
Just so you know, that's this guitar relic'd.

Mmmmmm, Lacquer Taste. Delectamable.
Seriously though, I like the looks of that Honey Burst.

That's pretty fuckin cool right there.
I used to have an Edwards LP, and it was great. Couldn't get along with the neck, but that's the story of my life.

Actually I could use half of the money from the SG sale to buy this on reverb

this is the exact Edwards that I've lusted after for years... As much as I like my SC245 goldtop, I still want one of these. I have a problem.June 2007.

It's a great guitar. When I got it, I did a bunch of comparisons between it and my Gibson Les Paul.
The overall fit and finish of the Edwards was better (but I did buy my Gibson when it was almost 10 years old, so who knows what it looked like from the factory). The neck dimensions were pretty much identical. I even made a chart.
The two sound completely different, but my Gibson has 490/498 pickups while the Edwards has Duncan P90s. Gibson has Grover tuners, Edwards has Klusion. My Gibson weighs a lot more than the Edwards.The one flaw I found with the Edwards was there was a spot between the end of the fretboard and the neck pickup that the finish was flawed (there's about a 1/8" gap between them where there's no gold paint). Other than that, it was perfect.

Thanks for the neck chart... Pretty much confirms what I felt last time re: the 60's shape. I prefer the 50's, so it was a bit thin for me. Love the look of them though, and mine sounded great too. I was also impressed by the quality.It's a great guitar. When I got it, I did a bunch of comparisons between it and my Gibson Les Paul.
