I might suggest a solid mahogany guitar if you're looking for a darker sound.
I have a McCarty and a Singlecut that are both solid mahogany and actually favor them to my maple top PRS.
just for reference, the McCarty pickups suck IMO. they are dark, but muddy and too mellow for that guitar to me. I pulled them out immediately. you might like 'em but the majority don't care for them.

I'd agree with the above. Personally, if you want dark with sustain and easy playability, I'd say a Singlecut or a CU22. I dont like how the trem version of the Custom 22 sounds, but I LOVE how my stop-tail version sounds. Dark, clear, punchy and lots of sustain.

That is another thing about the Edwards stuff...the long tenon which imo helps transfer string energy to the body more than a short set-neck tenon.

How much do those Edwards usually go for?

I'm sorry man but I have to call uninformed bullshit on this one. Way to make a blanket statement. I own a an Edwards laquer taste SG that I bought with the headstock broken off, even after a headstock repair it spanks the 15 or so gibson SG's that I've played, hell I even own a Gibson SG. I'm not even getting into the Gibson debate they make some nice guitars when they're right but that's beside the point. The truth is that I love Japanese guitars and I've played several burny's and many other "lawsuit" models that were made in the same factory. I own a 78 LP copy that was made in the matsumoku<sp? factory in Japan where some of the best Japanese guitars were ever made. You're calling out a whole line of guitars when you played one of the lower models, my Edwards SG has so much resonance that it shakes your chest when you play it sitting down, the fretwork and attention to detail is top notch. I'd dare to say that Edwards makes the best gibson you can buy for the money, if I was buying sight unseen I'd pick an Edwards every time over just about anything in it's part of the market. I own one and have played several more along with many other Japanese guitars including your beloved Caparisons. The Caparison was nice, it was a custom shop model built for an endorsed artist but I must say that is wasn't god's gift of the fretted instrument like you try to make them out to be. Stating an opinion is one thing but it's a good thing to be informed before you spout off about how a whole brand sucks. I'm really not trying to be a dick but it's really annoying to see you act as if "oh I didn't dig the one I tried so they all must totally blow dood!" rant over

There is a Page Edwards listed under ESP for under $900.
Man this function follows form thinking is pretty scary.
