Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Yeah what PT said about the fine. That is a really cool website I did not know about. Lots of good articles it seems. The Ed Roman thing doesn't surprise me, but like a cockroach, he'll be back unfortunately. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Years ago, I considered buying a guitar from Ed Roman based on some special on his website. All I can recall after hanging up was getting a distinct impression that He "knew it all and felt everyone else was an idiot." :rolleyes: It didn't matter if it was guitars, religion, politics, or whatever; if you didn't agree with him, he had no use for you. :p
Eventually, I went to GC in Atlanta and spent way more than I would have paid him. They at least spoke respectfully and treated me considerately, even if they couldn't match his price. :cool: |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Ed had a very high respect for Hamer guitars back in the day, and at one time was the only source for some Steinberger parts. I have spoken with him several times, and he was a chatty and very highly opinionated guitar fan, traits I have observed on this board occasionally. ;) |

Location: Midland, MI | He bought out several (IIRC) trailer loads of NOS Steinberger parts...bodies, necks, bridges, etc. when Steinberger sold to Gibson. I called him once, looking for a GP pickguard. :eek: When you're the only game in town for NOS stuff, I guess you can ask anything you want. |
