[SOLD] Edwards E-EX-125E Explorer (2007)

Here's my Edwards Explorer E-EX-125E

I bought it new from Japan back in June 2007 and stil have the customs paperwork with it. To get it safely to the UK I paid extra for the ESP explorer case and due to me being a bedroom musician (that's being generous) the case and the guitar are pretty much unmarked.

The only faults I would pick with the finish/surface are a couple of white dots on the headstock, which I've no idea what these are but want to make sure they're pointed out. I don't recall them ever being there or how they could have got there and I didn't want to risk trying to rub/scratch them off. You can see them on the end of the headstock pictures. The other fault, for want of a better word, is that in bright light you can see on the front a curved mark, like a sanding or brush mark. Again I've never touched this, it's how it came to me when purchased. It might rub off or just need a wipe down, but as it's a satin stained finish I didn't want to make a shiny or rubbed area. Other than that, which is being rather picky, the guitar is as new.

It plays really nice, I'm just not really an Explorer man and sadly having purchased it back in 2007, it's spent most of its life in its case as I never did get a suitable stand to keep it out somewhere to hand.

The spec as per the ESP website is as follows:

FINGERBOARD Rosewood, 22frets

I'm looking for a straight sale at £775 and you're welcome to come over and play it and be forced to drink numerous cups of tea and shame me by playing it far better than I ever could before making a final decision if interested. 

I'm based in Crich, near Matlock in Derbyshire and am happy to answer questions, take more photos, etc. just ask.

Weight wise, on our kitchen scales (the only suitable thing I had to hand, covered with a cloth when weighed) the guitar comes in at 6lb 14oz / 3.1kg and the case on its own at 12lb 3oz / 5.5kg or thereabouts.

Thanks for looking, pictures in the following post (hopefully!)

Thanks. Oh and if anybody spotted and was concerned about the "returned under warranty repair" on the Japanese docket, it wasn't, it was new and I hadn't asked them to do that but I think they did to try and circumvent the extra import costs, which clearly didn't work.
