edwards would be worth a look too... and (i haven't tried them, but they seem to be well-regarded too) burny, greco, orville, etc. etc. is there any way you can try them first?

Not really I guess I have time to shop around. I am not in a rush to just buy something. I want something Really Good for my second Axe I love the first, and I have the fever. I wont have more than two guitars I think. I Custom built the first one, and I wanted to spend a little more on my second Guitar. So far what I have been looking at is

Tokai LC 95s 799+120 shipping+what I will spend on bareknuckles

Fernandes Deluxe 600+what I will spend on bareknuckles
Fernandes Elite 700+what I will spend on bareknuckles

I would like to check out edwards, and Greco, and I cant find their websites or dealers.

i think the only diff with the fernandes delux and elite are the pickups... i think anyway.. so if you are sticking BKs in the more expensive one is redundant.

http://www.espguitars.co.jp/edwards/index.html

there's the edwards website. don't worry, most of it's in english, the different models are in the drop-down menus. you'd most likely have to order from japan for those... which is why they're hard to try first. i was lucky, i got to try a second-hand one in a local shop before i ordered mine, but it's probably going to boil down to luck...
