Members lenster Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 So I'm about to do something i thought I'd never do, Sell my Charvel. Reasond for this are i've just scored a gig in a Keith Urban Tribute show here in OZ and want a LP Goldtop. Knowing i can't afford the real deal, i've been offered a deal on an Edwards LP Gold top with P90's. Give me some inspiration to do the deal.

Members Neilrocks25 Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 I actually played a couple more today ( I played a great blue one in the shop), great guitars. A good set up and rub down the neck a little for a more "worn" feel and you have an amazing guitar Heres mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 I know imma get roasted here but I brought my Edwards to GC after I got it and played it against my dream white Gibby LPC fully expecting it to have me leaving saying "well the Edwards will never compare to fit finish and feel" but honestly there was not a $2k difference in playability or feel at all. After owning the Edwards I can say in full honesty i would not pay used prices on a LPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After owning the Edwards I can say in full honesty i would not pay used prices on a LPC. I played a couple of Gibbys at a local store here and a couple of things i noticed wereA: LP Standard the binding that goes oiver the frets was poorly finished , the two E strings would catch on this binding .B: Didn't feel like a $3k guitar ro me, played a $1200 Schecter Solo 6 Custom and to be honest the Schecter actually (IMHO) felt and played better.C: these are obviously subjective quotes, I'm sure with a good fret dress and setup the $3k LP would be great. I'm not bagging on Gibson as i'd love to be able to afford a good one but it does seem to me that all the bad QC issues are definately there. Maybe i should keep the Charvel and sell off the Eleven Rack to fund it????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marshallnoise Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 Keep the Charvel. A good guitar is a good guitar. You may have to run into 10 other Charvels to find one that meshes with you. Also, you sound like you are trying to pick up a guitar to fit an image of the band you are about to play in. This is logical to me, but, ditching a perfectly good and cool guitar like a Charvel for a gig is a decision you will regret. That said, I want an Edwards bad!

Half of what your saying is true, I have the strat and tele which fit into this project , so i'm trying to add the Goldtop to it.That said i love the sound of P90's in general, loved my LP Jr but sold it as i missed not having a neck pup to switch to.P90's have a great sound that i really enjoy.

Ahh, should have read your sig. DOH! Still, keep the Charvel. I do think that a P90 LP would be a great guitar for Keith Urban. Good luck on the hunt. Pick up a Bad Cat while you are at it!

Members marshallnoise Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Where can you find edwards in the US? Ebay or craigslist. I don't think there is any way to get one here. Not new anyway. Gibson probably has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
