Hey guys,
I have decided I really wanna pull the trigger on an Edwards Black Beauty, as I have heard nothing but good things about them on this site and have wanted a Les Paul guitar for a while....
There are two ebay auctions open for this here in Australia at the moment that are selling basically the same thing, and I wanted you guys opinion on which sounds better....
2007 Edwards E-LP-98LTC Classic Clone black & beautifl - eBay, Electric, Guitars, Musical Instruments. (end time 04-May-08 16:16:03 AEST)
or
EDWARDS ( ESP) LES PAUL CUSTOM Crafted in Japan NITRO - eBay, Electric, Guitars, Musical Instruments. (end time 30-Apr-08 06:51:00 AEST)
There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
With the first auction, this is a used guitar with no warranty, those knobs sure ain't factory and there is no pickguard (I asked). I am also a bit concerned about the guys feedback rating.
With the second auction, the guitar is new, all original (non-matching silver knobs and all!) and comes with a 1 year limited warranty. BUT it is $350 more! And I would probably buy the typical Les Paul gold top hat knobs that are on the first guitar anyways.
My budget can pay for the second auction, but that price difference is niggling me a lot. But so is the other guy's feedback comments.
Your thoughts guys?
Edit: sorry Mods, I saved before I realised the title ain't very informative... could this be changed to "Help, edwards ebay auctions" or something? cheers!
