I hereby apply to be in his esteemed club :)
Got the 130 relic on friday..dont know what the fuss i about, I mean, looks fantastic, plays great straight out of the box, and deep rich tone, and thats with the standard pickups (gets a bit thin in upper registers as you poor on some gain though... so gonna have to start saving again for a BKP fund 8) ). I have to say I plugged in my Crawler'd Strat staight after and the difference in tone was very marked (I still love its sound though!), this Edwards has a deep bass and clariy that none of my guitars have displayed..may yet tip me over to being an LP man!
Other than that though...nothing special really :oops:
-
welcome to the club my friend :D
-
Looks great!
Funny you say it's "nothing special" - what were you expecting???? A '59 burst for £500????
-
Do Edwards do a blue burst? Just these Edwards look fantastic and her who must be obeyed fancies a blue burst flame topped guitar in the house! :D
Did I mention I love my wife? :roll: :D :P

Shamefully I was...I know it's the lowest form of wit, but I felt the urge. Seriously I am very very happy with it, athough I am demonstrating the temperance of a Trapist monk..as it's an xmas present, I have had to leave it alone until the 25th other than my initial checking it was ok, so I am really looking forward to getting some solid time with it!

Congrats on the new axe Kevin. It's a beauty.
My MIJ Tokai LP converted me to Les Pauls. After 20 years of playing everything except LP's, I don't want to play anything else now !

I don't think they do a blue burst, but they certainly do at least a couple of blue guitars. For example:

nice!
and agreed, philly- there are some blue ones, not too sure about blue burst... :)
-
I like blue bursts, especially silver-blue burst like on the robot gibson :)
-
As for blue quilts, I really like this one:

Holy. shite.
I really want a fit blue quilted guitar like that to go well with my delicious Wine Red Ravelle.
-
you can sell those antiquities and get for the same money a pair of BKPs, well done!
-
on the subject of blue quilt LP's.... this has to be my favorite

I love those deep saturated colours in guitars.
One of the main reasons I keep drooling for PRSs.

Very nice geetar! :D

I was curious about the pups...haven't taken them out yet, but I assumed they would be copies of the genuine SD's?
And to the rest of you...please stop putting up gorgeous pictures of other guitars...it's all just too tempting! :)

No, Edwards use genuine Duncan pickups. I didn't realise they were Antiquities on the relics though.
-
I think my gast has been flabbered - £220 worth of pickups, must be where a lot of the extra cost of the 130 comes from. Now I'm desperate to test again - I was really impressed with sound, but I expected it to be thicker from an LP which I figured was from the pups...may have to go the Twinfan route and start a collection with another one for thicker sounds! :roll:
-
You didn't know the 130 had SD antiquities? :? Did you choose to buy the 130 instead of 112 solely on the fact it's all lacquer? Well it must be a good surprise for you then :)
-
I wasn't really concerned over the pups (I just figured it would be BKP'd in the not too distant future), I have wanted an LP for a long time, but never found anything that looked like i wanted, and was in a sensible price bracket. I didn't want a heavy gloss type finish as I prefer smooth satin on the neck, and from what i could glean the neck profile on the Edwards would suit me, which happily it does. So yes, I am very happily surprised it has genuine antiquities :)
