Japan les Paul's edwards guitars

As a avid collector of mij guitars since being kid in west Germany in army back in 84. Just bought a edwards used yesterday alls I know is what the guy told me it is either a 130 or 135 in which I'm not that knowledgeable on edwards. It was relic and I do not think it was done at factory, looking online I see they make a jimmy page relic but this was if your into aesthetics on your guitar then maybe you would think ok a meth fueled relic job a bit to much and it does not have the jp circuit. But the one reason I looked at it was the price two it was mij. It sounded sweet even without being plugged in it has seymours sh1 and sh4 bridge. I popped neck pickup and has long tenon so now I'm interested maybe I'm traditional but truly a great guitar for good price because it was really messed up on relic job. But then if it sounds good I'd play a broom and the looks do not matter to me.

I have an 2003 AF75 (turquoise) and a 1983 Ibanez Roadstar II. The Artcore sounds like a Rick.

It is from the 80s it has humbucker then two hot rails I loaned it to my sons friend he is coming along on guitar. He was using a maestro sg the other ibanez is I think rg 570 , Mij you get quality for decent price.

i loaned it to my sons friend the roadstar. guitar he was using was called maestro it was sg copy he asked me restring it and do set up he is good kid. and I was like sure but then I loaned him roadstar. So the plan is I'm gonna redo the bridge and intonation on maestro because his younger brother wants to start. I tell you when I was kid I had ibanez les Paul bolt on neck that was my first single cut.
