I’m offering an Edwards E-FR-125CTM, made in Japan in 2008 – a top-tier model from the Edwards line, crafted for professional players who demand precision, tone, and reliability.
This guitar stands out with its aggressive design, neck-thru-body construction, and premium components that give it the look and feel of a boutique instrument. The See Thru Black finish highlights the natural grain of the ash body, giving it an elegant yet modern character.

Condition
The guitar is in very good condition – frets are excellent, and the action is low and comfortable.
There are minor chips and small dings on the body (visible in photos), but they don’t affect playability or tone.
Electronics and Floyd Rose bridge function perfectly. The instrument has been professionally set up with fresh Ernie Ball 10–46 strings.
Why it’s worth it
The E-FR-125CTM is one of the most sought-after superstrat models from Edwards.
Built in Japan with exceptional attention to detail, it offers neck-thru sustain, high-end hardware, and Seymour Duncan SH-1/TB-4 pickups, covering everything from crystal-clear cleans to powerful high-gain tones.
The Direct Switch is a standout feature, bypassing the volume control for maximum output — perfect for solos.
High-end Edwards instruments like this rarely appear outside Japan — a genuine hidden gem in the ESP universe.
