  1. There have been other threads regarding the place of manufacture for Edwards. The wood (bodies and necks) are produced and made in an ESP mangaged plant in China, the final components and setup are put together in Japan.
  2. The past month or so, I've attended various guitar shops all over tokyo and I've played Gibson Les Pauls and Edwards Les Pauls. I noticed that there's something extremely "lacking" about the Gibson's. What is it? I don't feel like I'm playing a platinum-quality guitar like I'm supposed to, unlike the Edwards ones that are just fantastically amazing. It's not bad, but I won't pay more than a thousand dollars for them. Are Gibson's declining in quality? I appreciate your post since you are in Tokyo and able to really try a bunch of examples to help confirm where the state of Japanese vs. Gibson / other guitars are right now. Did you try any Tokais? Are they still holding up in quality as well and how did they compare to the Edwards?
