Ad in the tonal opposite body and neck woods that also define the unique Les Paul sound, Ed's guitar is nothing like a Gibson. The only thing truly in common is his pups that closely resemble the unique tone of the original PAF buckers. BA cmcken1:

If you look at the evolution of what he has done, he's basically taken a Strat and turned it into a Paul. First it was just a pickup. Then, he goes and makes a new body that looks similar to a LP, puts two humbuckers in and a toggle switch and goes with that for a while. Then, he goes over to Peavey and has them make an arch top of the EB model, add some binding to it and, it's getting closer to a LP minus scale length and set neck and a stop tailpiece and tun-o-matic style bridge. Next up, we have this new LP style bridge scheme. Modded after a badass tailpiece and bridge combo. Those levers were used by Hipshot years ago. I think I have one new in a box someplace. Angle the necks back, tilt headstock, LP style controls etc. Other than changing the scale length from 25.5 to 24.75 and using a set neck, it's basically a LP. I think someone needs to tell Ed to go to Gibson and have them make his new guitar. Looks like all Ed is doing is reinventing the Les Paul again.
