Thx... I'm really enjoying this Edwards LP. I compared it with a Gibby costing 4x the amount and liked the Edwards better. Gibby, overpriced junk.

yeah,
its amazing how poor the quality control can get on some name guitars.

my last purchase was an Ernie Ball Silhouette Special - instead of the Strats I had been considering. It was the right decision, the EB is superb in playability and finish quality compared to most stock Strats I tried.

send me a pic of the Edwards !

Have you seen the recent Fender Master series ( budget RF Esprit ) - any good as a cheaper "throw it about" guitar I wonder ? I wondered about picking one up and replacing the PUs.

Also Bob, where did you get the RF backing track ?

Thats enough - Omar , maybe we need an "Off Topic" Lounge area on this forum for this type of discussion !!

Yes I saw several while I was in Japan shopping for the Edwards. I wasn't impressed, they were all pretty cheezy.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. :o

Ok, here it is.

Give a listen to my cut. I played 2 guitars, fretted and slide plus 2 sax parts, soprano and tenor.

E-LP-85CD is the Edwards model number. I picked it up in Japan last week for 68000 yen, or about $575 USD. It comes with a gig bag.

In Japan the ESP branded is less of an exact LP copy, the horns and headstock are shaped different, the inlays are different, the neck is slimmer and it has EMG PU's. I prefer the Duncan PU's, 50's style neck and the more traditional look, but both are beautiful instruments.

Go here, scroll down to Edwards and take a look. In the US shipping from here costs more than my first car :cry: .

LOL... no, that's a mistake but I didn't wire it that way, I just drew it wrong.

Here's the corrected schematic plus another clip with the CF (1/2 of the Dumbelator) in place.

Is this schematic a standard Dumble preamp with the switching pulled out? I was trying to trace the circuit to remove the Rock/Jazz etc., but I couldn't figure it out on first look.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Look at the 97 schematic for the ckt without the jazz/rock switch.

Bob,

What is the difference in tone and feel between your preamp into the fender clean channel and the dumble overdrive channel.

Thanks!

It's hard to say, but the preamp doesn't really capture the feel of the Dumble. I think I need to run it into a power amp, bypassing the preamp.
