Edwards are Japan made line of ESP.
Special K you are wrong, completely wrong.
This has been covered here fora couple of years now, way before that post on the "My LP forum" forum.
The information at "my LP forum" is mostly correct except for the fact that it is not "true mahogany" used in the Edwards guitars, South American "honduras mahogany" is the true mahogany, African is a relative of this. Ever wondered why Edwards are so light?. The information in the "other' section of this forum is correct and came from a former member who is Japanese and works in a music shop in japan, It came directly from ESP and it is not some translated rubbish that ends up being taken as gospel. They are great guitars and well worth the money they are sold for, why is it so hard for some people to get it through their thick heads that they have been made in China for quite some time now, not in Japan. In japan only a small amount of japanese content is needed to claim "MIJ" as has been stated here. It is an accepted fact around the world now that Edwards are made in China, that doesn't mean that they are bad guitars, it just means that you can get a good product cheaper.
