I don't think there can possibly be a right or wrong answer to the question "which guitar is best" as ultimately it is all down to personal taste.

I would advise extreme caution when dealing with Ed, I have heard a lot of horror stories form may different sources about deals that have gone bad and Ed never seams to be the one who suffers. Saying that, in all fairness I have never had anything to do with him and probably never will. Read into that what you will !
