Birthday guitar present for our son kids are on the bus
And I drag out his birthday present guitar and play it. Hey all our one son will be thirteen on Sunday and I bought him a Edwards Japan les Paul I think it is a 135 is what case candy receipt of bill of sale says it was used. Anyway I could not do it because he would have noticed guitar. but I had friend do the jimmy page super circuit wiring period correct caps new pots and Seymours whole lotta humbuckers. And I'm gonna say this about this Edwards guitars. It is sweet , as collector of mij guitars the company in Nashville with a G on headstock should be ashamed in the pricing and quality of the guitars they build especially the standards. For half the price you get awesome tone wood I think African mahogany put together with hide glue nitro finish , a deep neck tenon that is a must for me on any les Paul. The herd we have has burny tokai Greco Edwards navigator and prs and one guitar with G on headstock a 95 standard it was a consignment purchase. And only reason I bought it was because it is tone monster no weight relief and has long neck tenon. Not sure how it was built that way I thought G out Nashville stopped long tenons in late 80s only get it with custom shop. This is our second Edwards and I'm really pleased with the guitars they build. Our two guys they are page trower beck srv Hendrix understudies I do think he will be pleased.

I think I can decipher some of the near-gibberish. when his son is on the heading off to school, TEB sneaks his son's cheap Les Paul knock-off out of the closet and fantasizes about having the chops to be a rockstar. TEB still resents Gibson for not knuckling under to Obama's pay-to-play campaign arm. After that TEB descends into drug-addled gibberish that is supposed to impress DU-folk with his luthier knowledge.

Seems to me that some one a) has  a broken keyboard and b) is coveting that rare, precious foreign wood that exploits underprivileged societies.

Edwards is ESP, maker of mainly weird heavy metal oriented guitars.

Still wondering what "Seymours whole lotta humbuckers" is supposed to mean.  Looks like the stock Edwards uses Seymour Duncan pickups, and the max number of humbuckers would be 3. 

I also change the pots and caps on my Gibson Les Pauls and SG's.  But I'm not trying for the Led Zeppelin tone.

He probably has an LP w/ 3 humbuckers. That should be a whole lotta to him.

Will eventually get me a LP. Right now, have a Fender Strat w/ a REAL Floyd Rose on it, and Seymour Humbucker, and 2 Seymour Antiquity 2 Single coils.

I have one Strat (American) - still stock.  I keep it in Open G and use it to play Rolling Stones tunes.

I use a G&L Legacy custom. I don't need pickups or even strings tho, I just play in front of the mirror in my underwear while blasting Supertramp on the transistor radio

Hmmm ... sounds like saying, "cheap Les Paul knock-off" was hasty. Many are. Still, why imitate a LP, SG, or Strat or ...? Just produce a great product with your own personality. Create your own image for knock-off makers to envy.

Well we know he wasn't an English major. I hope his student loans aren't more than $1.49
