First of all, a big shout out to birnie for taking delivery of her. Ebay seller wouldn't post (and it didn't come with a case anyway) but he lived 10 minutes from where birnie works, so he dropped it off to the young, handsome Jason for me! :D

Picked her up for approx $US550 and it is in near mint condition. Case was $US110 but I had to wait for it to arrive, so Jason got to put his DNA on her for about two weeks!!!!! And I know he did! :P :P :P

Always wanted a shorter scale superstrat and the purple flame is something I've loved the look of too! 8)
Has an R2 nut which my sausage fingers may have trouble with but with a 12" radius, I might get away with!

For those who don't know, Edwards are a "for sale in Japan (& Russia too I think) only" version of ESP! Made in Japan and are on par with the ESP branded gear and are obviously higher quality than the Ltd range......though I'll admit, I've played a couple of Ltd superstrats that were very, very nice.

Hard case is excellent too! Needs a quick clean and that's about it!

Congratulations! Nice guitar!

Looking at the fretboard pictures, I don't think there's only Jason's DNA... Sometimes this kind of dirt is hard to remove. People should always clean their hands before touching a guitar!

VERY NICEEE GUITAR

For me, is necessary in a guitar, a humbucker on the bridge, and a single in the neck for a clean sound.

Congratulations !!!

Glad to help Andrew
Very nice guitar :)
..twas hard to let it go

The guy even dropped it to me at work (I was going to pick up as usual with eBay)
He was a dude too. Chatted for sometime, mostly about Marty Freidman, Megadeth, Kirk compared to James on lead and how lazy Kirk's become, he dind't know who Vinnie was but that's understandable.

Had soe interesting guitars for sale.
Shram's got some more pics if he cares to upload???
