Go ask the same question at the BC Rich board, and let them tell you what they told me - that Ed Roman (who is not/was not an authorized Custom Shop) built fakes of poor quality.

Didn't Ed supposedly get busted recently for making fakes or something?In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on NyquilComment

Well, since forgery of trademarked products like that would get you 10-20, I doubt he got busted. At least not by the cops.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

I've been to his shop a few times and spoken to him twice, once for about a half hour. I thought he was really personable myself. Didnt buy anything from him though--felt he was over pricedComment

I have dealt with him a few times, in person and on the phone/emails. Most recently on a new set of LSR's. $350 for the set! I thought I needed them and he had the only new set I could find. His prices are high on normal, still in production items, his prices are crazy high on limited, hard to find no longer in production stuff. He basically doesn't care if stuff sits forever. He will give one person one price and then jack it up to someone else even higher. Then sometimes he will damn near get a deal worked out and then say its not for sale! He is a major dick.

I have not bought anything from him. About ten years ago I inquired about the price of a Randy Rhoads Polka Dot V (Which is a horrible attempt at a replica) and he wanted me to send a $3500.00 deposit before he would give me a quote!!!!
Anyway, check out these reviews on his guitars and the way he handles his customers.

I thought there was a thread about it and everyone was excited about his downfall. I might be thinking of someone else.Originally posted by Newc View PostIn the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on NyquilComment

he did get busted by ESP & PRS & lost his dealership with them. other brands seem to look the otherway especially BCRich. iknow a few guess from the BCR forum even emailed links to BCRich, & they didnt seem to care. i guess you buy enough real ones they dont care if you make some fakes. I havent been to his web site in many years but those body blanks he sells were made in his shop.Comment
