Ed Roman guitar

[Miffy rules]

What's everyone's opinion about it? Top-notch quality? Or is there a better custom guitar shop?

Never touched one of his guitars and never will - he's too big an ass for me to even consider doing business with him.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

I believe people have actually spent their time making websites dedicated to spreading the word about this guys "business practices". ***too lazy to look, though***

I've heard enough that I would NEVER EVER buy even a pick from him.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

His guitars are most likely top notch. However, he has made it impossible to trust him, or do business with him due to his past behaviour. Maybe one day he will wise up........And maybe one day monkeys will fly out of my butt..........

Re: Ed Roman guitar

Is Ed Roman capable of building a good guitar? He surely must be able to, but will he build it for YOU? From all written accounts, the guy talks a good game, but I've seen an equal number of good and bad reviews, and even the people who were happy with their guitars hated dealing with the guy. People who had problems with their guitars went through a nightmare to get those problems resolved.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

Sounds like he's a dick... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] well he really has some big talk on his site, like he only sells the best guitars in the world and that "even if I charge you 100 bucks for a pickguard, it's really worth it considering the quality" thing.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

Read his site sit back and think about all the bullshit a used car salesman says. See the connection.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

Well I'm never a clever buyer so I tend to believe almost everything a salesman says... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Thank god there's this board to acquire some real infos.

Re: Ed Roman guitar

I'll never defend ER, but I'm probably one of the few people here who have actually played something that he built. (as of August, last year) A buddy of mine was over from Japan, and he had one of these ER guitars called a "Bolero." It's like Steinberger rip off, and has some type of composite neck on it. I had to be totally honest with him, but this guitar played badass, and the neck kinda felt like some of my Charvel "Model" series necks. I was very impressed. Had a killer quilted maple top on it. However, he paid a sh*tload of money for it, and was not able to re-coup it when he sold the guitar. To be honest, if he had offered to sell it to me pretty cheap, I would have purchased it and never told anyone who made it. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
