Nice guitar Twinfan, it's a steal at that price! :D

You should see the flame in real life - it's PRS quality. I'm still speechless as to how little it cost yet how amazing it sounds! It's even got Mallory caps and high quality pots.......

We use it both ways - something very cheap is a steal, but something very expensive is daylight robbery!

It depends who's doing the stealing.

that sounds pretty good, it was new, right?

do they make anything other than LP copies?

do they have a website?

(don't get me wrong, i'm happy with my edwards, but i'm always on the lookout for something else...)

Twinfan · « **Reply #37 on:** November 20, 2007, 08:52:51 PM »

It was used, they only made LP copies and they don't make them any more. It was a one small run kinda ararngement....

dave_mc · « **Reply #38 on:** November 21, 2007, 01:13:55 PM »

ah, ok. That makes me feel a little better. :) For a minute I was starting to think it was better value than my edwards... :lol:

Cheers Dave.

This particular guitar is, but I shouldn't think Signatures in general are any better value than Edwards in general. Or maybe they are... I've never played a Sig.

Twinfan · « **Reply #41 on:** November 21, 2007, 02:49:12 PM »

I'm comparing the Sig to my Tokai so it's a reasonable comparison to say an Edwards would be similar to the Tokai. I prefer the Sig and in a back-to-back last night with my 1996 Gibson Standard and I couldn't say which was the better guitar, on any level. They are equal.

Except the Sig cost me 1/4 of the price...

After surviving the initial cost of my '76 LP Custom with Mules, im enjoying these discussions very much! :guitar4:

yeah, but you found it second hand. :)

i'd say my edwards is not just as nice as the relic tokai i tried (so assuming your relic tokai is similar), that would suggest the sig is nicer than the edwards... however, considering your sig was £375 second-hand, that'd translate to about £500-£600 new, which is more than my edwards was.

I think that makes sense. :)

Twinfan · « **Reply #44 on:** November 22, 2007, 06:31:39 PM »

Yeah, but if your Edwards was imported officially into the UK it'd cost £600+.

So I win ;)
