ESP made this Edwards E-PB-95R/LT in Japan in 2011 as part of the Lacquer Taste series, a vintage-minded take on the familiar Precision Bass. The neck carries serial ED1109454 and the body ED1107712; both are consistent with the stated year. The alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard keep to a classic P-bass recipe, with a 34-inch scale, 20 frets and an approximately 42 mm nut.
The aged Vintage White lacquer is the detail that gives this example much of its character. It has developed extensive fine checking alongside variations in colour and gloss. The checking appears to be cosmetic ageing, not structural cracking; the finish’s depth is more apparent in person than in photographs.
The fitted pickup is a Seymour Duncan SPB-2 Hot for P-Bass, with a plain black cover currently in place. BASSLINES-logo pickup covers are included and can be refitted if preferred. The bass has master volume and master tone controls and is strung with a new set of Galli G77 Black Nylon strings. An era bass bag is included.
This example is in Very Good condition. Alongside the naturally checked finish and ordinary minor signs of use, there is a visible ghost sticker on the back of the body, where the finish shows contrasting shades. Inspection notes record no known structural issues and that everything functions as it should; the instrument has been cleaned, checked and set up.
Inspection & research notes
This example is in Very Good condition. The extensive fine checking and colour / gloss variation appear to be cosmetic finish ageing, not structural cracking. The rear body has a visible ghost-sticker area with contrasting finish shades. Inspection notes record no known structural issues and that everything functions as it should; the bass has been cleaned, checked and set up.
The neck serial ED1109454 and body serial ED1107712 are both consistent with 2011 production. Available documentation identifies the finish as Vintage White lacquer in the Edwards Lacquer Taste series. The visible checking appears cosmetic rather than structural.
