Edwards 335 - Made in Japan - E-SA-125-LTS - with Wolfetone PAFs - SOLD

benecol

Up for sale is my Edwards E-SE-125-LTS, a MIJ small-block 335 copy. I've owned it since 2012, fella who owned it before me imported it from Japan (I think from new - invoices are in the case, but Edwards serial numbers are weird) in 2007.

I love it to bits and it's a reluctant sale; best 335 I've ever owned. I prefer it to the equivalent Tokai as it's not got a really thin neck; that classic Edwards profile that falls somewhere between 50s and 60s profiles. It's nitro over poly (their "lacquer taste" series), small blocks on the neck (unusual in 335 copies) and Gotoh Grover copies. It came stock with Seymour Duncans, but they stick the worst combination of pickups in their Gibson copies (muffled jazz in the neck, 80s metaller in the bridge), so I've switched them out for Wolfetone Dr Vs (link here - http://www.wolfetone.com/drvintage.html - please don't make me pull them to show you the pickup bases, although I will if you really want me to x). It's pre-dinged (came to me that way) so you don't have to be on tenterhooks every time you play it - there's a tiny chip off the back off the headstock (see pics), and some dufus (either the shop, or the previous owner, although he was a lovely fella) has turned the bridge adjustment wheels with pliers, so there are slight swirls in the paint around them (again, see pics), but none of these are visible when you're on stage/posing in front of the mirror. You have to be close up.

It comes with a hard case (ESP branded - it's what Edwardses ship with) and all the case candy (mainly the import paperwork, nothing exciting sorry). I'd really rather not post it - 335s can be delicate things, and couriers can be pony. I'm based near Junction 13 of the M5 - I'll drive up to 50 miles, or half way, to meet you, whichever is shortest. Any questions at all, give me a shout.

I'd like £666 please. Not really interested in trades, unless you've got a Jerry Jones baritone. Or maybe an American Jag. Or a white SG. Or something with P90s. But mainly cash please x

A million pics follow...

Great piccies. That's the way to advertise your guitar.

A nice price for MIJ-goodness bump.

benecol

Off work and BORED so have a price drop.

These are the best humbuckers by far i think. I have a set in a lp and nothing can come close. Guess ill have to howl at the wolf again and get him to send a set over if you won't take them out.

If I didn't already have a 335 I would be snapping this up only for the amazing pickups alone.

have sent you a pm

PMed back and still for sale.

benecol

A further reduction to aid the SEDUCTION.

Dominic

I tried to seduce you with an SG and some money but you seem unseduced !

benecol

Seductive, but with one pickup too many.

That is the best colour on a 335. Good luck with your sale

Sunday bumpday.

We're now in that danger area where I don't want to reduce it any further, and I get it out of the case and play it. And then keep it.

benecol

Weekend bump.

benecol

I can't bring myself to sell it for £650, and I think I'm maybe trying to sell it at the wrong time, so I've dropped the price to a truly satanic £666.

If not, I'm going to get it back out of the case and realise I want to keep it.
