2000's Edwards Japan E-LK-100DK w/Floyd Rose & ESP Pickups (Gold Sparkle)

You know you love this.

Made by Edwards (the Japanese subsidiary of ESP) in the early 2000's, this is the artist model for Kouichi of the Japanese band Laputa. Takes inspiration from the Forest shape with smoother contours and a longer horn, it's finished all over in a deep gold sparkle that has a thick clear coat to give it a smooth feel with no texture.

Looks to be a basswood body with a maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard (648mm scale length). Loaded with a genuine Floyd Rose tremolo (original, not a licensed or rebranded model) and stock ESP passive humbuckers with plenty of output. Weighs 3.8kg's.

This thing is outstandingly cool and has seemingly not seen too much use over the years. The finish is clean and smooth with no real signs of wear, hardware has some rust but is all functional. Restrung in Eb prior to listing along with a fretboard oil and fret polish. Plays and sounds great as it sits.
