Up for sale, a 2017 Edwards by ESP E-SA-160LTS semi-hollow 335-style guitar in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with original hardshell case and hangtags. A premium Japanese-made interpretation of the 335 platform, the E-SA-160LTS features a solid carved hard maple top and back, factory-installed USA-made Seymour Duncan pickups, and an semi-gloss Black nitro lacquer finish.

While Gibson’s ES-335 has a laminate body construction, this Edwards boasts a solid, carved maple top and back with a mahogany center block, delivering a cutting midrange and a bold, muscular low end. Dynamic and clear, these qualities translate well through the USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers, with an SH-2N Jazz in the neck position and SH-14 Custom 5 at the bridge. The SH-2N boasts an Alnico V bar magnet and a special coil wind for a glassy, crisp treble response and full bass, while the mids are pulled back slightly to help each note sing clearly even with high gain. The SH-14 is a brighter, Alnico V version of the popular ‘59 humbucker, combining classic PAF tones (even treble and bass response with scooped mids) with a modern, high-output construction. This E-SA-160LTS weighs 9lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The Black nitro lacquer finish is a thin, semi-gloss designed for both maximum resonance and player comfort. There are just a few faint finish scratches on the body, and the semi-gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original molded hardshell case is included, as are the original manual and warranty card.
