EDWARDS E-FR-130GT Black 2008

$702.00

Description

Inheriting the DNA of charismatic artists and supporting the scene for a quarter century. The "E-FR-130GT" has arrived from the "F Series," which has been beloved in hard genres and visual kei scenes. Manufactured in 2008, weighing 3.57kg.

A Japan-market model featuring Forest's body shape with aggressive looks yet excellent playability, and boasting overwhelming sound output. Manufactured under the management and supervision of ESP in Japan, this model was offered at more affordable prices while maintaining high quality.

This instrument features excellent craftsmanship with a neck-through construction using a 7-piece maple/walnut neck. The body features an ash top/alder back, ebony fretboard, and 24-fret configuration.

Equipped with GOTOH tuners. Notably, the Floyd Rose tremolo saddle has been replaced with "Floyd Rose FastLoader Convertible Saddles." This is an official aftermarket part that allows you to use the existing Floyd Rose baseplate as-is while replacing only the saddle portion to accommodate ball-end strings.

Equipped with "Seymour Duncan SH-1N / TB-4" pickups. By installing high-quality pickups comparable to ESP's own, sound quality is ensured. A small mini-switch is positioned near the control knobs. When activated, this bypasses the volume and tone circuits, allowing the rear pickup's full power to output directly.

Like the heyday of V-kei with rack systems featuring JMP-1, CAE 3+ with VHT2902, tc's G-FORCE and MIDI switchers, or glowing blue Ketner amps with Lexicon wireless systems—if you run this through New Shinjuku Holiday or Meguro Kanrounan, you'll definitely feel the era of kote-osa authenticity.
