Edwards Jimmy Page 59RI Les Paul

Japan built, reliced to look like Jimmy Page's old LP, colour is like a cherry sunburst darkened by age, flame maple top. Two SeymourDuncuns (SH-1 neck, SH-5 bridge), light for a LP - 3.5 kg. Medium thick neck. Comes with an ESP gigbag. For me it looks exactly like a Les Paul should. This one does not have the super circuit, just ordinary pickup switching.

Firstly: I'm not a really LesPaul/humbucker player, I prefer single coil guitars. I've had 4 LP's before but realized that I love the looks but the sound is not for me - this will of course affect my ratings...
Unplugged it has a bit snappier sound than the LP's I had before - which suits me well. Still a woody midrange. Of the two SD pickups the SH-1 in the neck does the job well, cool vintage sounds. The bridge pickup SH-5 is too hot and dark for my taste, so I changed it to a BareKnuckle "The Mule", which is more moderate vintage output that pairs well with SH-1. The plugged in sound is still a bit snappier than the other LP's I had, and that works in my advantage. Still fat LP tones. Both pickups has coil split option, so I might install push-pull pots later.

The looks is really why I bought this guitar, if I should ever get another LP it should look like Jimmy Pages'! And this one does!
When I first got it I thought bendings felt a bit rough. But I oiled up the fretboard and now when I've played for a while it has really loosened up, now it plays effortlessly and I think it will only get better.

Just as good as a Gibby

As I'm not really a LesPaul player I will not give full rate, but a nine is as good as any LP will get from me. For me this is the way a LP should look, my other option would be to find a Gibson JP model, and they are waaayyy to expensive (even though I'm sure they're great guitars).
It stays perfectly in tune for a whole gig, never needed to retune it, which is more than I can say about my earlier Gibson LP's.
For price/performance only, it would get a 10! This is a great guitar at this price. The looks and feel are top notch.
If you're not to concerned about the logo, consider this one when buying a LesPaul! It's far more than a poor man's JimmyPageLesPaul...

Mahagony with a thick maple Top and laminated tigerstripe Maple Top. Nice and thick 50ties neck, well playable. Jimmy Page Cricuit for versatile Sounds. The whole guitar is in a relic finish and lokks just great this way. I love that relic finish and it looks very much like custom shop work. Pickups are a SD SH1 (neck) and a SD SH5 (bridge), sounding very much like vintage, just as I wanted. It came in a Gigbag from ESP directly from Japan, Straplocks included! Only that saddle is made from plastic, I will get a new one made of bone soon. Plus some locking tuners cause Ill take this beauty to my gigs...

Fat rich and tasty vintage Sounds. Coils Split and Phasing included. It does very Strat like sounds and fat Les Paul Rock. Just great! I had a Gibson Les Paul before...forget it!

RELIC RULES! The work on this guitar is very good done. Ive seen worse relic-work. this one is just great. The Setup was very good, not perfect but very very good.

No need for Backup. Its top notch! I Played it for hours without stopping and it still calls me for more... ;-)

I taked to ESP in Japan severeal times before and after buying it, they were very kind to me. Shipping from Japan to Germany within 6 days!!! WHOA very fast!

I would buy this beauty always again. In fact im thinkin about buyin another Edwards for dropped tunings. I can only recommend this one to all of you. BUT.... the Relic gets rare, be fast and get one!

Mahogany and light - could be chambered which does give it a semi acoustic sound, much richer. Seymours are great here.Maple cap I'd guess is thinner than Gibson but who cares at this price? Aged whitr binding well done. Correct headstock for year. A 10 for features.

This is a relic'd Jimmy Page model with push pull pots for out of phase/single coil options. I bought this and SOLD MY GIBSONS. These are very good guitars and are lightweight with a nice chunky 50's neck. Frankly, dont buy a Gibson unless that logo really means that much to you, these are incredible. The Duncans in single coil mode do tele easy and makes this a very versatile instrument indeed. I am not a Les Paul fan but this knocks me out and other mates with $4K Gibsons get dirty when they hear it. Extraordinarily resonant. 9 because I dont know what a 10 is, I adore it.

Top notch overall, nice natural aging, even the pickup cover an other metal parts. Scarily close to a 59 Gibson. Well set up, one piece mahogany neck, very light compared to Gibbos.

Yeah, no need for back up here. Stays in tune. Gotoh tuners which I replaced with Grovers (no drilling), just personal taste. Comes with strap locks.Finish is worn looking (ie not glossy) and any more dings wont make any difference! A great staage axe.

Never had the need, but ESP make these and I'd guess it's good.

Playing 30 years, would buy again in a heartbeat - kind of rare. Compared it to Gibbos of course. Orville also are good but this has the split coils (no crap active circuit like the Gibbo Jimmy Page which is in my opinion dreadful).
