The James Hetfield Signature Les Paul That Never Was?! || Edwards E-LP-112CE Demo/Review 
Видеоклипы
Finally found one after almost a decade of searching (and KLM Airlines doing their best to immediately lose it)!! Serious question, though. Have you guys seen the trailer for “The Mandalorian”?? Might be time to get Disney+… 🤔🤔
Saw it. Looks cool! I´ll just stick to bit torrent though, LOL
RickyboyH Have you ever considered Demoing a manson guitar? Maybe the Matt Bellamy or Mikey Demus signatures?
@@janbelcher1896 You @ the wrong person :P
Dude you're a Fuckin Hero, I've been lokking for Les Paul/Eclipse alternatives for a while and now and this one never crossed my mind
RickyboyH
Yup disney has enough money
Are we gonna ignore the 7 string Reverse head Hello Kitty?
Lol 😂
@@agufish when's the video man.
I said the same thing on last episode
i liked the tease
7 string hello kitty copy with matching headstock?
I am a huge Edwards fan boy, and this is easily one of the best Edwards clips on RUclips. Production, narrative, content, control eagerness, objectivity, sound, and not least playing! Excellent video pal. I have Gibsons, attacker, and have been the proud owner of two Edwards, and Edwards totally rule.
Hunter and I were incredibly excited for this video once I finished the final mix. Holy crap this might be my favorite song and mix I’ve done for him! This guitar really does sound great!
iwearvelcroshoez Thanks man! We were pretty stoked for this one in particular
I fell in love with that guitar when I saw James playing it at the tuning room before the gigs. It seems that Edwards did a good job! thanks for the video Hunter!
ESP makes one of the best “LEs Pual” guitars. The eclipse is solid AF
eclipse is better than les paul
Even the E-II's are way better than Gibsons. And they cost like half as much.
@@yung_doood Just with they made it with block inlays
Amen brother
Killer riffs dude!
Also, classy presentation skills! Love the channel!
Love my Edwards. I bought one around 2008. White with gold hardware and duncans with gold covers. I'm fairly positive the model is an E-LP-130CD. It's been one of my favorite guitars ever since I purchased it through the harmony central gear forums off another poster there. It was barely used when I got it since I believe it was made in 2007.
I love my Edwards lp customs. I have a "vintage black" one and a "vintage white" one. Both weigh just over 10lbs with massive necks. This guitar is freaking sick. I would love to have one.
Finally! Been waiting for this one for a while.
Sounds almost as good at it looks and it sure looks good
I've got one of these. Plays better than all of my Les Pauls. Absolutely love it.
I sold one to buy a Les Paul, should have kept it
That's bad ass! Happy you finally got it; thanks for sharing.
Thanks bro!
My ethics for "lawsuit guitars" is: if the trademark owners aren't making the guitars as good or as cheap as the competition, then you should step up your game
Keep that in mind when they outsource your job.
Agreed. I still play fender. They still make a killer guitar for 600 bucks. Gibson? Nah!
@@ScutMonkey From what we've seen, they do it anyways.
@Clever Name: There are different sorts of intellectual property (patent) protections. Typically, they are either design or utility. Utility means if something is really novel (like if you could invent a guitar that was invisible) - these are given considerable protection and should be since a lot of work has been put into novel science. The second is a design patent (like what Gibson tried to rely on). So, for example, if your guitar line came on in "dildo pink" Christmas tree shape. The company probably spent a lot of time and money to create this image. However, these are given very little protections now. Gibson lost for multiple reasons having to do with the limited protections given to design patents. All in all, the patent laws are quite fair.
Im gonna take the clever name, I would still make nonsense comments, but cheaper
Dude, that riff is killer! Great playing!
It looks so nice and sounds great, definitely a great color.
That's a gorgeous guitar dude! Stoked that you managed to snag a dream guitar 🤘
omg those riffs man. maybe my fav so far absolute killer
There’s an actual ESP model of this out there too. Been trying to track one down for a good while. 🤘🏻
I can’t stop watching this over and over again out of jealously, plus awesome mix as always 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍
Thanks dude, pretty happy with this one :)
Jonathan Carpio Thanks man!
I just purchased a Edwards LP-Custom based a lot off of the info in this video! Thanks a lot Hunter!
The Edwards sounds sick but the ESP 18V stuff just sounds magical dude!
I can't choose I'd rather have both any day.
Nice guitar , great playing .. timing { you playing } was impeccable .
Edwards guitars are awesome. I've had my white one for years now and I love it. Worth getting one if you can.
I've always wanted an Edwards LP. I want one even more after seeing this. Damn it!
Just got an Edwards Flying V for a good price on Reverb. I am stoked!
Your track is Phenomenal it is really cooking - Beautiful Guitar also.
I’ve owned a few Gibson les Paul’s and still own one along with a Gibson V and Explorer. I had a buddy offer to sell me his Edwards les Paul custom and I wasn’t all that jazzed about it since I saw it as a copy but after playing it and really getting a feel for it I fell in love with it. I can honestly say that it competes with Gibson’s. It plays amazingly well and sounds incredible so I’d definitely recommend it to people who want a real feel Les Paul🤘🏼
excellent video what a beauty . thanks from France
10s now makes a version of this guitar. It would be cool if you could get them to send you one for review and then compare the two guitars.
Anyways, love your videos. Keep up the good work. :)
Guitar sounds good. Love the look.
Take a picture of the neck pickup rout with the pickup pulled out of the way so we can see the wood behind wear the pickup sits. That is where you will see the long tenon.
Love the channel, love the content. I have 2 Edwards E-lps. Both very different. One is an elp 100ltc triple humbucker Les Paul custom in white. The other is an elp 108sd, their take on a lespaul classic in silver sparkletop. If you wanna do more investigating into Edwards offerings I'll ship em to you as long as they make it back safe.
I'm sure you're probably aware, but ESP did release a few Eclipses in this finish as well in 05-06. I have a 4 knob variant of it, but there were 3 knob versions of it as well. Mine is actually pretty heavy, as far as Eclipses go.
Thanks for sharing your new guitar! Congrats.
Lucky man! Those eclipses are also mad cool, and are pretty rare. Is it full thickness?
@@agufish Mine is not. I don't think I've seen a full thickness model in the DPS finish, but there may be some out there. It's a pretty uncommon finish for any of the ESP brands.
Aw man he drilled out the headstock just to put Sperzels in there, should've just got locking Gotohs that are a direct retrofit lol
Yeah it originally came with Gotohs. The previous owner decided they wanted Sperzels like Hetfield. Those extra holes are why I always recommend the Hipshot install kit!
alan wake I have Hipshots in one guitar they’re alright, but for me personally it doesn’t get better than Gotoh. I love the auto lock ones with the staggered posts, can’t even tell they’re locking tuners they look the same as conventional tuners.
alan wake True, tbh I don’t really care either, but some people for whatever reason don’t like the way locking tuners look if they have a thumbscrew on the back.
Awesome !! And yeah 18 volt mod really bring emg's to life. I also agree never understood the whole wanting the 81 in the neck. Im like you I'd rather have a alnico 2 or 5 in the neck & then a alnico 5 in the bridge before even a ceramic.
Finally got my hand on one, too:) its a Black Beauty, tho. Came with a set of bareknuckles nailbombs! Sic thing!
That track was beautiful 👌
Edwards are legally available in french stores if you are interested.
that is my favorite JH LP too. Congrats
Yeesssss, finalllyyyy🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
The Dean Thoroughbred Stealth is a very similar looking/sounding guitar and a lot easier to find! As a bonus the Dean is easier to play the upper part of the neck.
Wow, Goodfellas Pizza & Wings, that brings back memories of my college years at Georgia Tech
they deliver so late as well. WAY too many 2AM wings have been ordered lol...
Nice 👌
Is there any chance to see a review of Strandberg guitar from you?
Cool channel
Enjoyable as always.
P.S
I'd like to mix one of your demos :) do a contest.
Surprising difference on the clean EMG 81 bridge. The Eclipse was brighter and the Edwards warmer. Was it new strings on both?
such a lovely guitar. It seems to ooze with quality and identity.
.... Sticking with reality a bit......the new line of LP's by Harley at 199........just incredible with a "AAAA" maple veneer top now.
The Schecter Solo II Custom in aged black satin is my next acquisition. Only one tone pot and Alnico pups, but for the money I can upgrade it and still be below an inferior "authentic."
Got an Edwards explorer shape one...killer guitar
I really really want one of these.
Love a Hetfield signature anything
I’ve tried so hard to find one of these as well but with no luck🥺. I’ve managed to find the model but not the correct colour :(
Possibly the biggest regret in my guitar playing career is not buying a Japan only guitar when I was living there during my Air Force time. I would love the Burny Les Paul with a sustainer or a Tokai Love Rock. But when I was stationed there i didn’t want a “copy” and only wanted an “authentic” Les Paul. #bigmistake
damn son you laid down a sick track 4 this 1
Love your videos Agufish :)
I am looking for a "LesPaul" with Belly Cut and easy axcess heel...
Something like the '18 & '19 LesPaul HP models, but not @ that prices.
Any suggestions? :)
Someday, I hope to visit Japan. Not only for the awesome guitars, but the beautiful people and culture. No wonder mellow, appreciative musicians like Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert are so accepted there. My sister in law is from Okinawa and is the most wonderful person in the world.
Much better in your opinion than ESP LTD EC 1000 Deluxe ( I was thinking about korean one)? Any tuning stability issues caused by Gibson ish string/headstock angle?
Hello Hunter! I 'm interested in buying an Edwards E-LPC myself. How's the neck profile of your Edwards? I mean you explained in the video, but for example I own an Edwards Explorer and its neck profile is the same like an LTD EC-1000. Thanks!
What do you think of that 81 in the neck? I have a jackson 7 with a 707 in the bridge and 81-7 in the neck. Not sure if i like the 81-7 in the neck but the 707 in the bridge is great
It was probably used as a studio guitar, so it was played alot but not thrashed around a stage and exposed to damage on the road
You should be able to tell wether it’s a long neck tenon or short, if you take out the neck pickup! Long should go into te pickup routing or even further, short goes just until the pickup routing and is not as wide!
Hey Hunter, love your work. Would you consider a review of some of Jacksons lower tier stuff? Like the JS32 series?
I'd love a review on Jackson's too
I'd love to see him review the js30rr ( because I have one )
Even the older J's series where not bad.
I'd like to see a review on a js22 at least.. lol
That'd be very interesting, but they're probably crap.
Those cheap Jacksons look AWESOME, but the ones I got to test in the stores all felt extraordinarily cheap and poorly put together.
I'm still a newbie, but they stood out to me as really cheap feeling back then and a few days later, when i asked my teacher what I should be looking for, he also warned me not to buy a Jackson.
I'm looking for a new guitar that has 24 frets a floyd rose and a cut away for easier playability on the higher frets for under £400/500 any recommendations
I now need to buy one of these guitars.
I agree! lol
Sounds awesome, I want one! Was it me or did it sound a bit fatter than the ESP? Lower mids especially
Howz that Jared Nichols Epi treating you? Saw him in concert w/John 5 & he's a beast with that axe.....This Edwards is a trip! Great, detailed demo, Agufish, the best I've seen in awhile. You covered everything. I started watching your vids when you demo'd the Epi 'inspired by 1955' outfit which is a killer axe!
Another great video. Buying a scale and including the weight of each guitar would improve the videos imho.
Btw there is an ESP Eclipse-I CTM with the 4 knobs in DPS (Dark Purple Satin) they're probably really rare, and expensive too. But it's a modern one with binding only on the top
Jon Nodveit from Dissection used a similar type of Gibson LP in the later part of his career(Its called a Les Paul Custom Classic). That's why I have that Schecter solo 6 Blackjack ATX(it has the same paint scheme as this and that Gibson custom LP). Got it for 400 bucks and its one of my favorite axes and the best single cut I have owned.
hi agufish, ask my question please, Edwards produced in Japan or in China ? some news is busy talking about them making an esp factory in china and finishing in japan, marked with a logo that is just a sticker,or all manufacturing production made in from esp japan ?
You can check the tenon length if you pop the neck pickup out.
Definitely gonna do that!
I see you use Mio energy...love this guitar!!
Haha yeah my teeth stain easily, especially the caps after the scooter accident, so I’ve started drinking more of this Mio stuff instead of coffee!
Dude, when we gonna get some Sterling stuff on the channel? You've been teasing us with doing a St. Vincent for months now. C'mon
Hey Hunter, could you please do a video when you have a guitar around with a common set of Seymour Duncans and do a sound comparison against EMG 81/60 (non-mod) (preferably 57/66 if possible) Despite many videos, none seem to really do the job, but the way you did it worked wonders, so it'll surely be perfect for that. Why I'm asking is because, usually I hear good cleans from EMGs, but at a friends place I tried a guitar with an 81/60 into a Line6 Audio Interfaces into TH3 and they sounded so bad (really flat and lifeless) compared to the DiMarzio's in my guitar..
I would like you to do a review on Les Paul (The guy, not the guitar) since his playing is actually mind blowing if you take in mind what he was doing and in what time he was doing it.
12:20 wait, the hello kitty is now a seven string?
discordapp.com/invite/maUFzZc hey guys don’t forget to check out our discord server for the channel, Agusquad. You can interact with a tight knit community, talk gear, share music, and also communicate with Hunter himself!
That's probably one of my favorite songs you've written, is there a download link anywhere to the awesome songs you write?
Hi Hunter, any chance that you will review the epiphone les paul prophecy lines? Great vid as always btw.
Not the current iteration :P
10s has made one of these as well!
Love my Sykes Edwards. Very tempted to put a Brass nut on it to look more like the Gibson he played
Do it.
@@agufish After my Suhr Modern splurge, I don't have the means or the know-how :/
Hi agufish i always wondered what is that thing that you put in this case in between the tuners and the nut
Last time I was this early the terminator was an e-scooter
lmao
I've learned the hard way that if you want those top hat reflector knobs ya gotta suck it up and order Gibson knobs. Those less expensive Amazon or even all parts (every time I've seen them) have imperfections and some are not even properly round.
Oh that RR one is nice.
My Favorite of James Guitars is the SG live Baritone with Green Flame paint job.
my favourite is the eet fuck esp explorer
mine will always be the jh1 Vs. green flame as well, but V instead
I Want this!!!!
The difference between the two guitars even with just the bridge pickup is pretty big imo. Maybe because of the 18V mod?
Thoughts on the new schecter c1 exotic ebony that shit is awesome imo
Only if my Harley Benton Sc-1000 was like this darn . U should demo the sc-1000
Love these made in Japan series :)
I have Edwards les paul 130 CD, black beauty with seymour duncan's in it. I really loved emg's in this vid, i should probably get some EMG Het set in it :D and make it rhythm machine. I liked your edwards sound better and chunkier than your ESP eclipse.
Importing that ax was a genius life hack. An "E-II" isnt quite the same, and a Custom Shop ESP looks and costs outrageous.
Check out epiphone les paul custom prophecy plus. ( I own one) It's basically the same except its 81/85 emg config. Close to the zakk wyld design.
Do you have any plans to cover some Flying V’s in the future
Wolf Warrior colin did that
Hunter doesn’t really like guitars that aren’t in the traditional shapes (Les Paul, Strat, Tele, etc.), so I doubt we’ll see any V’s or other weird shapes. I would LOVE to see him review an LTD Arrow, though.
Great video as usual! Got me looking into an Edwards now.
Gibson could make a guitar like that, but ppl would gripe for a year.
It's too light, too colorful, lul emgs, and on and on.
Sometimes it seems like Gibson can't win.
That is a serious weapons grade strap button 😮
Great vid, check out the Schecter Solo 2 Custom.
It's called the tenon as in tenon and mortise (aka 'tongue and groove')
