2010 Edwards E-FR-120B Forest – See-Through Black Shred Monster
“Pointy, growly, and stupidly good-looking. This thing eats 5-strings for breakfast.”
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a Japanese-made ESP Forest that looks like liquid obsidian poured over sweet ash, stop scrolling. This is the one.
Built in 2010 during the absolute peak of the Edwards golden era, this E-FR-120B is finished in glassy See-Through Black that lets the dramatic grain of the ash body peek through under the light. The grain pops so hard it looks wet – pure sex in bass form.
Cosmetic condition: Strong Player’s Grade+
It’s been gigged and loved exactly the way a pro-level bass should be. You’ll find:
- A few small dings on the edges and wing tips (nothing into the wood)
- Some light surface scratches and pick swirls on the top
- A few tiny finish chips
No cracks, no repairs, no headstock breaks, no issues. Just honest battle scars on a 15-year-old metal machine that still looks killer under stage lights.
Playing condition: ABSOLUTELY DIALED – Fresh Pro Setup
This bass just got the full treatment from one of the best techs in town:
- Action: Stupid low, fast as hell
- Neck: Dead straight, perfect relief
- Frets: Leveled, crowned, polished
- New set of fresh 45-130 strings (perfect tension, growls like a demon)
- Tuners rock-solid, zero slip
Plug it in and prepare to lose friends. The B string is tight and piano-like, the slap tone is ridiculous, and the mid boost on the EQ will make your amp beg for mercy. This thing does modern metal, progressive funk, old-school rock – whatever you throw at it, it just snarls back harder.
These Edwards Forests in See-Through Black almost never hit the used market – especially neck-thru with EMG power. When they do, they’re gone in minutes.
If you want the ultimate “looks like a $4k+ Custom Shop but plays and sounds even meaner” metal/modern bass… this is it.
First serious buyer takes home the baddest pointy bass you’ll ever own.
DM now – don’t make me keep it. I’m dangerously close to doing exactly that. 🔥

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We offer a 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.
Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
