Speaking of Ed Roman...

[Twitch]

and his known propensity for stealing others ideas and pictures, I found this to ring a bell.

Somewhere below this post youll find a newb that stopped by with his own "custom" creation that was nearly identical to the guitar in the above link.

Was this perhaps Ed Roman or one of his staff, or the originator of the idea. Its obvious its to resemble the Jackson Death Angel, but now Im left to wonder, who ripped of Jackson first, or was this newb a romanite in sheeps clothing?

EDIT: Found the thread that I was speaking about.

There's no depth that tRo[ll]man won't stoop to...

Except for when the Grim Reaper has other plans, apparently...

25" in diameter??? Never met nor saw pictures of the man, but holy shit !!!!............I'm thinking perhaps you meant 25" in circumference, which would still insane.....

[DeathThrashAttack]

i'm sure its circumference. Compression socks work wonders

I called romans shop looking for a quote for a "whitey" Jake e lee replica and who ever answered the phone that day was either high or stupid. $7000 he said. I spit out my beer, saids thanks hung up ,then curled up into the fetal position like I had been violated. Maybe when I said jake replica he thought I wanted him to do some hightech cloning or something.......... This story is only relevant so some poor bastard down the line can know exactly what they are getting when they deal with these people.

[Chief_CrazyTalk]

I'll say it again...FUCK Ed Roman. I regret not getting around to kicking his ass.

[straycat]

Ed was very nice to me when I stopped by his shop in 04 gave me a tour of the whole place too.
I can't say anything bad about him with my limited knowledge of his affairs.
