Edwards is a Japanese electric guitar and bass brand produced by ESP Guitars, launched in 1990 as a more accessible counterpart to ESP's high-end Japanese custom shop instruments. The line is positioned between ESP's flagship Standard series and the budget LTD range, with final setup and quality control performed in Japan. Edwards instruments are often slightly lower-priced versions of popular ESP original designs and artist signature models.

The catalog is organized into an Original Series — featuring ESP-style body shapes like the E-HR, E-KT, E-MA, E-MR, E-SN, and Asterion models — and a Traditional/Lacquer Taste range covering vintage-inspired shapes such as the E-LP (Les Paul style), E-ST (Stratocaster style), E-TE (Telecaster style), E-FV (Flying V style), E-EX (Explorer style), and E-JB (Jazz Bass style). Bass offerings include the E-BT, E-FR, E-AM, E-LB, and E-UT series.

Edwards has produced signature models for a range of Japanese rock and visual kei artists including Anchang of Sex Machineguns and Aiji of LM.C, along with international players like Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom. The J signature basses, tied to the Luna Sea founder, are among the most widely sold instruments in the line.
