This guitar is too damn sexy. I'm not a big LP fan but I'd love to own that.

More info here.

Oh and it's the John Sykes model, so it toally needs some Cold Sweats.

yep, the Edwards range of guitars are REALLY cool - I love the Black Beauty LP Custom with the twin P90s.

:twisted:

where would you buy one of them from and for how much

I think, I could be wrong, but they're just for the Japanese market. :roll: But new they run about 765 US dollars or about 390 pounds. Pretty good price really.

Gibson do make it! There are two versions of the John Sykes model from the Gibson custom shop, one is regular while the other is severely relic'd.

They need to mass produce the custom buckethead LP

It's all white with a kill switch and a star wars storm trooper head on one of the tone pots. And Dimarzios :( . Better than stock gibsons anyway

Japan seems to have some really high quality guitars at very low prices, i may have to look into this, i just dont like the thought of handing my money over to someone so far away!
