Members solomon1979 Posted August 14, 2005 Members Share Posted August 14, 2005 I am new owner of an Edwards John Sykes Les Paul custom and it is one of the best guitars I've ever owned. Since getting it, I've been looking at getting rid of my MIJ Tokai LoveRock, but there hasn't been any takers. I just want another tokai or another Edwards. The quality is very high and for the price($800) it's the best value for a vintage style guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members batotman Posted August 14, 2005 Members Share Posted August 14, 2005 How much does it weigh? Nitro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solomon1979 Posted August 14, 2005 Members Share Posted August 14, 2005 Nine pounds and I have no idea if it's nitro. They're worth every penny and a look too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the pictures I posted earlier, the LP-110CTM is definitely blue. The LP-85QM is one of those guitars that looks very different depending on the lighting. In daylight it's sort of a blue/green thing but in darker light looks more blue. Personally I love that color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrokenRomeo Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 It is sort of an aqua blue, imagine the perfect body of water...it looks very cool in real life, and the color in photos varies depending on light. I have a friend in Tokyo who shopped around for me and I think he found it on sale somewhere and got if for $600 with shipping from Japan...Ishibashi can get one for you, but you basically pay close to full retail on Edwards, since it is not one of their normal stock brands...
