Yep.
Non adjustable bridge... how do you set the intonation if you change string gauge?
You are supposed to rock so hard you don't notice being out of tune.
I really want a Special or a Jr. right now too. I had a 90s Gibson Special a while back, had weird pickups, they looked like P90s but were actually humbuckers, that sounded like really polite single coils.
Sometimes Gibson Jr. and Specials are within the realm of reason, I think I paid 800 for my special. They made a lot of SG Jr.s a couple years ago and sometimes those are for sale 600-800 (I think they were 800 new)

Honestly man...take it from someone who actually bought a $5000 custom shop gibson. I bought an edwards Les paul this year and if you were to change the logo and tell me it was a brand new gibson Id be shocked at how far gibson QC has improved. Edwards are 100% the best gibson clones out there under $1000 and really i just put them in that group because they cost under $1000. They smoke usa gibsons all day long. Also if you want to go single cut you can get one in this sick ass blue color.
Here are some i found.

OR DUDE how about a JR shaped full thickness carved top LP with a bitching tiger paint job? DOOM MACHINE

Don't want a JR? how about this fucking rad ass flying v painted scorpions colors with binding and blocks..
http://store.ishibashi.co.jp/ec/pro/disp/1/03-315043111
Or even a regular ass black one...
http://store.ishibashi.co.jp/ec/pro/disp/1/08-316682710
Dont fancy that? How about an SG...

Though....if you REALLY want to show everyone you arent fucking around, you'd get this fucking amazing LP thickness soling mahogany star thing with blocks that a guarantee lays those thick ass lines the fuck down.

Yeah, Edwards are really great. I've had two of them and they were probably the most well made guitars I've ever owned. I have a 335 copy right now. They come with pretty nice hardware and Seymour Duncans as stock and usually a lacquer coat over poly so they look and feel 'vintage.'
Sometime I find interesting is that the majority of the guitars are assembled in China, and then the finishing stuff goes on at the ESP factory in Japan, maybe they do the fretwork in Japan. They play excellently.

Man from the research I've done chinese production has actually ceased and were 100% japanese now. BUT either way what is fully apparent is that edwards guitars are outstanding value and if you don't buy one you are a pussy.
You can totally interpret this post to mean that if iimmic pope doesn't buy one he is a pussy.

I got a few long term projects for gear I want to wrap up soon, but I'm gonna be chasing a new guitar in the next year.
This Edwards jazz has me pretty boned up, honestly.
It's looking like it'll be the go.
