Edwards: Conclusion

I had been holding back this info but as 2013 draws to a close, it's time to stop being emotional & look ahead & accept changes. As part of ESP's gaining ground in the USA, the Edwards name will cease to propel musical instruments for ESP come 2014. That's sad because this name had been putting ESP in good stead for less money. It's an economical emulation of the ESP name without crucial compromise unlike what the LTD names stands for in terms of commercial alternative. We are actually a lucky lot because these Edwards are for domestic circulation in Japan only, special arrangements were made between ESP & selected distributors to have them made available elsewhere.
Edwards make good stuff.Will miss them. You know, it might be a good time to re-look at whatever Edwards there are out there & act accordingly.
