Edwards E-RS: Discontinued


Another one gone from the Edwards catalog - the RS model... 


... or better known as the Random Star model which began life as an ESP. As you can see, it's basically an Explorer with a sizeable wedge outline removed from behind the bridge.


Not many of us could relate to this model unless you grew up in the Loudness era; this was the preferred body outline of one Akira Takasaki, one of the best Asian guitar slingers. I have no idea where ESP is heading with the Edwards range, the lineup had been much trimmed over the last couple of years with no signs of similar replacements.
