This stunninly beautiful guitar was made in Ed's shop in the USA
It has 24 frets, a solid black korina body, and a plastic piece of shit neck that is too small for any good guitarist to play. It has dunlap 6000 frets, 2 emg sa's and an emg 81. The tremelo is a steinberger cheap trem. French polish finish.

this is the worst sounding guitar on the planet. It has no sustain, no top or bottom end, no bite, nothing. It sounds like shit, no joke. If this thing sounds like anything it is shit.
Action, Fit, & Finish

This guitar came with unplayably high action, it was not intonated, it wouldn't stay in tune, the tremelo didn't work properly, the pots were cheap, the 5 way switch wouldn't even go into the fifth position, the gol pickguard was scrathced, AND THERE WAS A 3 BY 3 CENTIMENTER CHIP OF WOULD THAT WAS CRACKED AND FELL OUT OF THE GUITAR THE FIRST TIME I PICKED IT UP OUT OF THE BOX!!!! This guitar cost over 2 grand and played, sounded and looked like a $200 guitar.

Ed Roman is a mean, heartless business man. Once he gets your money he forgets you are even alive. I recieved a broken guitar it took over 6 months of yelling and lawsuite threatening for this ass to finally send me my money. His wife Joanne is much friendlier and easy to talk to. When your Ed roman guitar falls apart or sucks when you get it (which it will) talk to her, not Ed.

I play mostly fusion, and I'm very picky about my guitars. I'm only 18, but I've been playing for eight years and I know what a good guitar plays like. I own a John Suhr, which is the best guitar on the planet. Ed must have thought he could rip some dum, rich kid off by sending him an utter piece of shit thinking I wouldn't know a good guitar from my own ass, but he was dead wrong. I eventually bitched at this thief long enough to get my money back, thouth it took six months after waiting 5 months to get the guitar. Listen, I am not a Ed Roman competitor or a liar. All of the bad publicity about how shitty Ed and his guitars are, how much he lies, and how good of trickster he is are true. I didn't believe all of the negative reviews of his stuff because he says on his awesome sight that most of the reviews are from angry competitors, but they are not. they are from people just like me who got screwed. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM ED, ESPECIALLY HIS MADE IN SHOP GUITARS!If you do I promise you it will be one of the biggest disappointments of your life.
