Up for sale, a 2020 ESP Edwards E-SA-125LTS in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This premium Japanese-made iteration of the 335 platform features a solid carved maple top and back, a one-piece mahogany neck, factory-installed USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers, and a satin nitro lacquer Cherry Red finish.
Unlike a Gibson ES-335 which has all laminate body construction, this Edwards boasts a solid, carved maple top and back, weighing 7lbs 15oz. Acoustically dynamic and clear-sounding, these defining qualities translate well through the USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers, with an SH-2N Jazz in the neck position and SH-14 Custom at the bridge. The SH-2N boasts an Alnico V bar magnet and a special coil wind for a glassy treble response and full, tight bass, while scooped mids help each note to sing clearly even with high gain. The SH-14 is a brighter, Alnico V version of the popular "Custom Custom" humbucker. It has a full tone, also with some tailoring of the midrange and balanced bass/treble frequencies. This E-SA-125LTS has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The satin Cherry Red nitro lacquer finish is framed by ambered binding, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few minor marks and nicks on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the back and lower bout perimeter. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
