2007 ESP Edwards E-LP-92CD JS John Sykes Custom Black Beauty w/ Seymour Duncan, Japan

Up for sale, a 2007 Edwards E-LP-92CD JS John Sykes model in excellent condition and in perfect working order. A staple in the ‘80s riff realm, Sykes is most notably known as a guitarist for both Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. This sleek E-LP-92CD features John’s signature aesthetic with mirrored plastics, loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers.

Weighing 9lbs 1oz, tonewoods include a mahogany body, hard maple top, mahogany neck, and bound ebony fretboard. The Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion humbuckers are Duncan's original high-output passive humbucker design. It incorporates a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. Low strings are tight and mean, while the high strings scream with harmonics, making it a go-to pickup for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead tones. This E-LP-92CD JS has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
