Edwards E-MA-135C – Made in Japan by ESP Japan, Ebony Fingerboard, Seymour Duncan Blackouts, Gotoh Gold Hardware
I’m offering an Edwards E-MA-135C, crafted in Japan by ESP Japan, inspired by the classic Les Paul Custom design.
This is one of the higher-end models in the Edwards lineup – built with a full mahogany construction, an ebony fingerboard, active Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts, and premium Gotoh gold hardware.
The instrument blends classic elegance with a modern, powerful tone.
The Blackouts deliver wide dynamic range, a strong, focused signal, and the perfect balance between aggression and clarity.
The guitar is currently set up with Ernie Ball 11–54, giving it a thick, muscular feel – excellent for heavier styles while keeping articulation intact.
