Made in Japan .. E-LP 90 LTC/98 LTC .. Vintage White
I have a doubt on the model exact..90/98..pour one presented here, I would go for the 98 because of mounting an SD SH6 the bridge and SD SH4 for a check .. 90 ..
bridge type tune-o-matic (Gotoh) no vibrato.
22 fret ebony .. button.
neck pickup Seymour Duncan SH1
bridge pickup Seymour Duncan SH6
typical configuration 3 positions
volume tone for each pickup

UTILIZATION

handle is quite comfortable in the hand .. very soft to the touch surface ..
comfort gameplay very well .. very nice frets in ebony complement the key .. it is one and the same .. lp custom for access to acute.
yes this guitar is capable of delivering very good sound quality

SOUNDS

this guitar is made for the big crunch rif .. a max saturation have easily found his account .. can not have that round and smooth it sounds but it is when even with a tendency to harmonic nice enough .. this rather a lamp .. the amp has is the bridge pickup.
circuit internal pre-amp and multi-effects, the SH6 is especially powerful, distortion-margin crunch is quite short ..
I play in two configurations ..
the amp is a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL entirely original with 4 Svetlana EL34 paired pre-amp .. Marshall JMP-1 and JFX-1 effects + a pedal compression Marshall ED-1.
Vintage 1960 4x12 (Celestion Vintage 70 Watts) and 1960 TV 4x12 (Celestion Greenback 25 Watts) for firms.
internally&#39;m on the Rocktron and JMP-1.
Les Paul Custom has modern sound (HS-6) has amplified the old ...
to have mellowness citeras the SH1 to handle that seem to go from Seymour Duncan PAF .. I would simply say that it is close .. I know the original PAF and to my taste it&#39;s not really that ..
at the same temp on any guitar the neck pickup is not one that I use regularly ..
on the other hand coupled with the bridge pickup is very interresting ca playing with the volume / tone ..



OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 months now .. it has replaced my Greco LP Custom 78 expecting a refretage ..
what I like most about this guitar is simply the play ..
for my taste it is a very successful guitar impecable finish .. .. .. acastillage quality tuner included .. except .. the gold plating is beautiful but fragile ..
Another small detail without any consequence, cache trussroad and secured by one small screw on the upper part .. may rise slightly lower ..
qualified for this resumé resolutely positive I want to say that I am in possession of at least four LP .. Greco LP Custom Gibson LP 78/Orville by 59/Gibson Standart Custom Shop 58 LP Classic and Edwards .. I&#39;m obviously trying to inombrable model .. American and Japanese ..
for those who would be interrested by Edwards .. do not buy it for the sound Gibson unless you graft prevoyer him two or PAF Classic 57 apellation modern manufacturing and real original PAF ..
see a Classic 57 Plus to keep the side .. Metal
but rather for the ease of use that particular round / button on the LP Custom besides the rest bah this is a Les Paul ..
matter quality / price is a exellent number ..
setting apart the small details mentioned above it is significantly more than the base price that must be around 1000 Euro ..
there is a big debate about the origin and quality of wood species, especially for mahogany .. I have not been able to establish a personal idea .. the subject being quite complex with a lot of gray area but I take note that Navigator guitars are top notch and Japan worth 4 to 5x the price of Edwards are manufactured on the same string that Edwards .. I only mention here that the case .. I LP little or no know the rest of the production ..
can have more than one Navigator Edwards ..??
the price of the Navigator first thing I would like wood species ie a superior type of wood selected for its density on one hand and also a period of natural drying extremely long ... a type of wood which comes particularly dear to purchase and which would, apparently with superior sound quality ..
in the specifications of the two brands, it seems that there was no differences indicated about the quality of the wood used ..
I prefer the idea that it would be possible and that two marks use the same gas to LP tjr .. only ..
use of ivory (the nut) for the Navigator ..
Using real pearl for key reperes ..
on Edwards is nicely done but certainly not true ..
custom type logo on the head like a mother of pearl also visually different from reperes key and also nicely done, same for the brand logo on the upper part of the head.
I think the Navigator is also equipped with a electronic a little more upscale, such as knobs volume / tone and the filter cutoff frequency for the wiring and microphones is the same ..
acastillage the mechanical and this is also the same except maybe the gold plating of the Edwards ..
basically what are the real differences between the two brands that justifies the huge price difference .. the question remains for me .. but Edwards and Navigator are simply twins ...
there was also controversy over the place of manufacture of these guitars ..
to make it simple and I hope quite fair, Edwards are charged gross control of China in the hands of very skilled Japanese work .. most of the labor being less qualified Chinese ..
to be completed and sent to Japan (electronic and finishing) ..
all these parameter mentioned above could easily explain the price very atractif of Edwards face price very "Rolls Royce" of the Navigator ..
if yes .. I do not esiterais to buy so presented itself ca ..
but it would be for him only two grafted Classic 57 see 57 + .. or maybe more depending on the desired direction for the guitar .. 2 real PAF era ..
it is also true that I became a convinced Japanese production ..
and to complete certain anti-Japanese I put the Edwards position equal with my Gibson CS, not for her, the remaining exellent Edwards has this level all the same, two different brands of microphones are not comparable, which makes sense to me, on the other hand to finish, comfort games, and felt overall, the object did nothing less than a very good Gibson ..
and for those who still hesitate ..
if you go see a copy .. jump .. it&#39;s much later than you regreter very strong risk of not having done ..
voila voila ..
in short .. very very very good guitar ..!
