I am based in Northampton, near Daventry and I work over in Hinckley. Feel free to get in touch with me to ask any questions etc
1st up.
Edwards E-LP 100LTC Black Beauty - £500 inc Hiscox Hardcase.
This guitar has been played a lot and loved along the way. Its an actual relic'd guitar, all wear is genuine and has been caused by actually playing the damn thing.
It is based on a 59 Gibson Les Paul. So it has a 59 neck, long neck tenon, 3 Seymour duncan pickups, hog body with maple cap etc.
No neck breaks to report. The frets have some flat spots but she plays just fine.
I've replaced the original bridge because it was starting to sag so I have put on a Wilkinson roller bridge. I might have the original gotoh bridge if you really want it.

The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a
whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct
term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a
rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a
fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term
by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the
term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
Comments
Having played them all - the Les Paul is chuffing great, it sounds like a LP should sound, looks old yet well looked after (relic in a good way) and plays great. Its a belter and sounds huge.
The coffee table Firebird is actually really nice. The wide board isn't wide really - the nut issues the 2015s have has been sorted and the Mojo pickups move it up into the premier league. An inspiring guitar - and uber cool.
Good luck with them, fella.

I know someone who may sell the Edwards for you as he specialises- he's away at the moment but I'll ask him for you.
