OT: Where did you get your Edwards? Was it new or second hand?

Got it new from a company called ishibashi http://www.ishibashi-music.com/ sent em an email and got a quote, was the best price I could find.

I don't know what I'd have on the edwards one, on the Orville, since I bought it with the money I got when my dad died I figured 'In memory of Stuart Wood' is that too cheesy?

Edit; it would either be the above mentioned or 'If you read this you owe me a pint!'

Oppinions?

I think you should go with something in memory of your father. But I'm kinda soppy like that.

How much was the delivery to the UK? There's an Edwards Viper up there that's cheap as hell and I'd love to have it.

Cheers, I think I'll go with in memory for the ObG and Pint for edwards

Delivery is always a killer, it was quite a lot over here (don't have the actual figures anymore but over $130ish) but also tax is pretty bad as well, dont know what the situation is in other parts of the world but I ended up paying about £80 extra for customs.

So about £150 with shipping and customs taxes on top of the price that Ishibashi quite?

That still works out cheaper than a Viper 400 from Thomann, and they have the same specs except the Edwards comes with SDs instead of EMGs and I prefer passive to active.

Arround that, maybe a bit more. Good deals, but if it was between a ESP and Edwards I'd end up going with ESP (even though they have models that ESP aren't allowed to sell) just because I think ESP will have better quality still! But for the prices you can get these things, its incredible. Also, the finish probably won't be glossy, mine is a really nice satin which I have grown to really like. Its not quite satin but not quite gloss, really weird, but I like it!

It goes

LTD<Edwards
Edwards<ESP (not by that much)

It would seem easier for me than ripping out a set of EMGs, selling them and finding a second hand set of Dunc Distortions etc. and save a little bit of money whilst I was at it.
