I’m offering a 2004 Edwards E-LP-130CD JS, inspired by the legendary tone and aesthetic of John Sykes.
Built in Japan by ESP/Edwards, this model delivers the classic Black Les Paul Custom look with premium materials, exceptional craftsmanship and a powerful, modern hard-rock/metal voice.
The guitar features a mahogany body with a maple top, elegant multi-ply binding, a set mahogany neck, and a true ebony fretboard with block inlays — a specification usually found in high-tier Custom Shop instruments.
Equipped with Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickups in both positions, it delivers aggressive output, tight low end, sharp attack and excellent sustain. A perfect match for rock, metal, and high-gain tones.
