Cheers all - haven't checked back since Friday, so I hope that you won't be annoyed that I have inadvertantly (and completely unrepentantly!) ignored your advice!
I checked with togps as a matter of course, but he only had single cutaway 2 x P90s in cherry (not the biggest fan of any of these three features!) so although his communications and customer service was excellent, that was a no go. I forgot about Villager - he's a cool guy, and I wish I had remembered to check with him. Next time! James at Richtone was great too, and really knows his product (unlike 99% of guitar shops, IMO) but didn't have any room for maneouvre - fair play to him.
Anyhow... I had just about given up hope of getting my hands on a junior, especially when I read everywhere online that Edwards prices are on the up, they're growing in popularity in the native Japanese market, and the JRs are now a custom order item, not available 'til August at the earliest.
So imagine my delight when I pounced on Katana's auction for a brand new TV Yellow (not the hideous relic!) Edwards Jr on Saturday morning! SD P90 versus the Tokai's iffy Gotoh, one piece versus the Tok's three piece body, nitro versus poly finish. And to top it all - it weigh's 6.1 lbs! (I'm not knocking Tokais, I loved my SG70 - the Edwards just seems to have a slightly higher spec.)
To top it all, even with delivery, exorbitant Customs charges and ridiculous Parcelforce fees, it still comes in at ?450. And I'm well aware of all the import aggro, but I bet it'll be worth it!
Very much looking forward to being back in the fold, wil post pics when it arrives, and thanks for your (unheeded) advice.
