Edwards guitars

[lol]

Never played one. Had an esp eclipse standard but I sold it. I still own my Korean Ltd's though...

The Navigator line is definitely pricey and really nice from what I hear!

If I had $1100 to spend on a guitar right now there's an Edwards on eBay that'd I'd definitely like to pick up.

You can get them a little cheaper used on Ebay!!! Well at least I did. I dig my Edwards. Changed out the pickups and it rocks!!! Not that it did not rock with the JB/59, but the Manlius Asphalts sounded great with it. I just went to lower output pickups (MCP T Wrecks) and it still sounds killer!!! Of course it is not a LP, but who cares!!! My only complaint is the small frets like the older LP Customs. Hard to dig in and just think Randy Rhoads had these size frets on his 1974 LP!!

IIRC, Randy's '74 LPC sported 6230 fretwire (listed as "22 medium jumbo" on the Gibson Reissues). This comes out to A: 0.078, B: 0.043, C: 0.035. Maniac, would you be able to measure your fretwire and verify if it has the same fretwire? Just to be able to inform myself and others if the Navigators have the same "feel" as Randy's LPC?

Since this is a necro-thread, it would be cool to add some good info into (since we know that it's being accessed via a Google search).

I have the medium jumbo on several guitars and they are not the same as the Edwards. I played several early 1970's LP and they had the same tiny frets they call the fretless wonders. Maybe Randy's 74 Custom had the medium jumbo, but from the information I have read over the years that the fretless wonder frets were no longer being used after mid-70's. No information that he had the guitar refretted? I know that Gibson has reissued the 68' Les Paul Custom and the frets were medium jumbo which were not the frets used on the original.
