Very fucking heavy (11lbs) but in spite of that it seems to not play so loud acoustically as my Epiphone even after I upgraded the 9 set that was on there to 10s.
The fit and finish is excellent...really nice fretboard, neck didn't need any adjustment...I could maybe tweak it slightly to get a little better action but it isn't really necessary.
Binding is really nicely done and the MOP diamond and Edwards logo are sweet. Maybe the fret markers are synthetic.....they're very white for MOP. I'm going to try and get a pic in daylight today.
There's discoloration on the gold..but it is a used guitar after all..it's pre-relic'd .. LOL
I love the SH-4/SH-1n combination in this guitar...great vintagey tones.
If I were to change anything, then it might be to buy a newer version of this model...the newer ones are weight relieved I'd guess...at around 7.8/8lbs.
Thick, LP style neck....like a 'C' shape ....seems a little bigger even than my Gibson Gothic LP...
I pulled the neck pickup to see if I could check out the neck construction...but it's well painted in there, not obvious whether this is a short or long tenon guitar....eBay ad said short so I'll believe it. You can see the 'cap though....looks to be 1/2" at it's thickest..presumably maple but of course it's painted black
For the curious..I paid $544 (+$100 to EMS.)

Sounds good man, thanks. I'd say you got a pretty good deal on that.
