"Are Edwards Guitars Made In Japan?
 Technically and officially yes. Edwards guitars are classified as being made in Japan by ESP.
 Heres the email from ESP Japan with the official line on the production of Edwards guitars..
 We are using our China factory building bodies & necks for Edwards products. We have 5-6 Japanese craftsmen work there to do main works and to do total quality control, and using Chinese workers to assist them with simple jobs like sanding, buffing etc. Then, they are sent here at Tokyo factory and assembled by same assembling guys who also works on ESP. And, all these makes us possible to have Edwards products in that Edwards price range with high quality level close to match ESP level.
 We make Edwards bodies in our own factory in China under Japanese level quality control and complete them in Japan with using parts from US, Japan and Korea. We technically could say its made in Japan with considering the bodies & necks as parts. And, I judged we say its made in Japan with considering the importance of final assembling process in the musical instruments."
