Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2017 I opened the thread, intending to say a used Gibson LPC, but yes Edwards is an option, and I'm using the crteria of an ebony board. There are loads of MIJ LPCs, and very good ones, however all the ebony board models, folk are keeping or selling for the same as a used Gibson, and nobody except film stars can afford Tokais these days....eh Phil?

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2017 Of course the beauty of the Edwards LPC is you can have humbuckers or P90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I like my "Spear" LP, check them out (no affiliation) yes , I do like mine...Just a suggestion, maybe you might like also ... I don't know if available in Canada...maybe check them out http://www.spearguitarusa.com/2014/ That kind of reminds me of the old Rickenbacker "Light Show" models.

Members jtr654 Posted September 20, 2017 Members Share Posted September 20, 2017 Both Look to be wonderful Guitars . I've heard nothing but good about them also Orvilles. If those will stop your GAS and scratch your itch then get one. Then do a review vs Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bigskizzy Posted September 21, 2017 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2017 Of course the beauty of the Edwards LPC is you can have humbuckers or P90s Awesome looking guitars! As I said, I really don't care if the guitar says Gibson on the headstock; I'm not too fond of the idea of paying extra for a name, even if they are awesome guitars. Can you provide any insight into what I'd be looking for with an Edwards? I noticed some different model numbers on eBay, but all were Customs. Also, just buying guitars online in general, can anyone give me some tips? I've seen some great deals, but as I've never ordered a guitar online before, I'm a little hesistant.

Members eeddings Posted October 18, 2017 Members Share Posted October 18, 2017 Most people who have bought guitars online will tell you that buying online is a crap shoot and that they wouldn't do it again. There's something to be said about holding a guitar in your hand for a few minutes before deciding to buy it. Having said that, I have been lucky with online purchases of guitars. But, I have had bad luck too -- PRS, Epiphone, etc. My #1 is a black Gibson Traditional Pro II with a Floyd Rose (that I found on the wall in a store and soon fell in love with). If you are not 100% set on having the split diamond on the headstock, an ebony fretboard, and backside binding, I would highly recommend you take a look at Gibson Traditional Pro models. My Trad Pro II knocked the LPC right off the bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madjack Posted October 20, 2017 Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 I don't know about their availability in Canada, but I am happier with my black JTV59 Variax with P90s than any of my other guitars. I had (and sold) a 68 deluxe gold top, a 65 sg special, a mid 60s melody maker, and still have a 72 es335td. Of all of them I currently prefer the variax. Looks are very much like a black beauty, straight sound with the p90s is as good as the Gibson p90s I have used, and the models are very good, and a hoot. With the one guitar I have the sound of an electric sitar, a decent acoustic, a decent 12 string acoustic or electric, a banjo, a Les Paul custom, etc. US price is ~$1000.

Members mikesr1963 Posted October 22, 2017 Members Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't know about Agiles current quality but I bought a used LP off CL a while back and after I did a set up and some minor fretwork the pay was exceptional. I say in the context of with many more expensive guitars I've play I would have had to do the same work on them to get them to play like I like.

Members onelife Posted October 26, 2017 Members Share Posted October 26, 2017 Have you considered looking at what Yamaha has to offer? They have built some great LP style guitars over the years and their instruments have always provided 'bang for the buck'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigskizzy Posted November 5, 2017 Author Members Share Posted November 5, 2017 Quick update: found a mint 2012 Standard on Kijiji for a very reasonable price including two sets of pickups and other goodies, so the Custom search is on hiatus [ATTACH=CONFIG]n32095461[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted November 5, 2017 Members Share Posted November 5, 2017 Well that's a beauty. Happy suspension of the Custom search, and an even happier NGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted November 7, 2017 Members Share Posted November 7, 2017 Back in the late 1970's / early 1980's, Edwards, Tokai, Burny and Greco guitars got no respect from gear snobs .... As usual,gear snobs are always wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
