The quality is really better than the Korean Epiphones but is definitly below
my MIJ Tokai Goldtop and faaaaaar away from my MIJ Orville.

Interesting - I'd say my Edwards guitars are at least as good as the Japanese Tokai Goldtop I owned, which had a couple of dodgy frets.  It was quite a new one though, not from the great days of Japanese copies.  :)
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Tokai is also know for the unequal quality of theirs recents axes
(they apparently have a hard time keeping the production
up to request's speed) so what you're saying about you're Goldtop
make perfect sense.

Also, the only thing i find really cheap about the Edwards is really the finish.
Just doesn't feel good... like on all those medium-priced guitars where
'you can't feel the wood' if you know what i mean
(sorry english is not my primary language)....

Ok, back to topic  :)

Slighty off topic - is he bending the neck in that video near the start, seen as he doesn't have a trem?

Where the hell does this happen? i can't see it...

He was supposed to do that a lot on the pre-chorus harmonics (at approx. 1'20'' for exemple) ... live at least.

I've been watching a load of Randy Rhoads videos on youtube, i don't know how to get a tone like that and how the HELL does he get those insane pinch harmonics with those pickups and that amp?!

Is it my ears, but I can hear an added lower octave tone on the main riff, especially at the end 5:12 ?

You can't tell with his pedal board though.

l500xl sounds more like george lynch or wolf hoffmann than randy rhoads
it's a great pickup, but too scooped and a bit thin to randy's sound
