Recently had this 2008 Edwards E-TE-110CTM RE Telecaster Relic shipped after having purchased it 4 or so months back.
It was a skeleton with only a jack and control plate along with the bridge and guard attached.
Finally got around to putting it together this past week while I was off recovering from a spontaneous pneumothorax, something I hope none of my 3 fans have to ever go through, haha. :D
Anyway, the thin lacquer finish on these is amazing, feels old and worn in like it has been played in a bar filled with smoke and sweat for years. Well done ESP/Edwards, nail hit directly on the head.
The lightweight alder body is pretty resonant and the neck is nice and fat, loving the nice worn in fretboard as well.
For now she is staying, dunno why but I find it harder to let Tele's go than Les Pauls.
