Members oggy Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 he has a Honeyburst ESP Navigator LP copy. He came up to visit today and brought his Navigator so we could jam. He let me play it and all I can say is HOLY {censored}. This thing was amazing. ZERO flaws, looked it over many times and couldnt find a singel blemish or flaw. The flame top was stunning, not to gaudy, pure class. I have played dozens of Gibson LPs including custom shop ones. It looked, felt, played and sounded better than any Gibson LP i have ever played. Now I need to start saving $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members batotman Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 Navigators are good, but I'd get an Edwards if you can squeeze the cash! Edwards are made in the ESP factory in Japan. However, my favorite is Tokai with my new AL3000 coming close.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sparky6string Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 Did your uncle mention how much he paid for it? I've never seen the prices of new Navigators, but I know they aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clyde42 Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 I checked out the prices on Navigator SGs a week or so ago, and they run 300,000 yen. About $2900.00. The Edwards version was 85,000 yen. The LPs can only be more.......bet they are sweet though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But god damn are they hella expensive. Thats why I'd rather have an Edwards as they aren't far behind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kherman Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 But, if you can score a used Navigator it's still usually much less than a used R9. Once in a while the Navigator and high end Tokai pop up on Ebay.Usually around the $1300 to $1500 range. A used R9 will still cost well over $2000. And I agree for us broke MFs, Edwards is the way to go. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
