White start

I love this guitar despite not playing it often. It's all about the weight - heavy. I can't really handle it after about 20min of play as it would numb my right leg severely. Due to the intensive chemo not too long ago, there were some nerve damages here so lapping this heavy guitar would compound the discomfort. 

I love the deep, heavy tones I could manifest with this guitar. The weight per se & the pickups (Seymour Duncan JB / '59) play an important part in this. It works better with riffs as opposed to solos. I don't need to play fast with this one, & I completely understand why those doom inclined prefer a guitar of this make to fulfil their sonic assault. You won't see this in the stores here these days as ESP has scaled down on its copy designs due to obvious legalities. 

Of course, the obligatory re-string before play - Darco 10s.

Heavy

Nothing fancy, just spending time with my Edwards today. This E-LP-C is something you should not invest in if you are particular with weight; it's heavy. I do not wish to speculate if it's replicating the true weight of a Gibson LP Custom which is what it was modelled after but on more time - it's heavy. I like to play this guitar because it can easily pull off (no pun intended) one of the heaviest metal-type tones out there. A tone reference for this would be Dissection's Reinchaos & Napalm Death's Fear, Emptiness & Despair. 

Also, this is the guitar I enjoy plugging the above-depicted pedals into; the re-issue DOD OD-Preamp 250 & Elektrik Head's Snakestortion. Due to the guitar's deep, bass-inclined tone, the pedals were dialled up to manifest more top end. For the record, the pickups in this guitar are Seymour Duncan JB (b) & Jazz (n). These are replacement pickups, Edwards no longer equip the E-LP models with Duncans & I simply prefer Duncans in mine.
