1990’s Edwards (by ESP Japan) “Red Legacy” Akira Takasaki Random Star

Japanese made by Edwards/ESP in the 1990’s (with the older Edwards headstock decal), these were a replica of the Random Star model known as “The Red Legacy” made famous by Akira Takasaki of LOUDNESS.

Alder body with cracked mirror segments on the top bolted to a hard maple neck (soft V profile) with a 22 fret maple fingerboard, it weighs 3.7kg’s. Loaded with the original Japanese humbuckers, Floyd Rose tremolo and Gotoh tuners with an aftermarket killswitch installed.

Given a full professional setup and service prior to listing, good overall condition for it’s age with a few bumps and bruises but no breaks or repairs. The neck is straight and the truss adjusts freely, the frets are reasonably worn but are still shiny and smooth and play well as they sit.
