Previously a set of the saddles would set you back that much if not more...hmmm...

[Diamondjimi]

Crazy money!

Ed Roman is a pretty cool dude. Nice to see he's marketing (or at least advertising) these.

Knowing Ed Roman's inflated prices (and ego) it will probably run $1000+

Funny, I've never heard anything good about him...also hearing these are not necessarily all that...will let ya know what I find out.

I meant $2000+

Me either. He's a bit of an ass, and highly proud of everything he has

Ed Roman is a pretty cool dude.

Dept. of Consumer Affairs and the US Justice Dept of Trademark Fraud, along with a dozen manufacturers he owes money to or illegally copies would tend to disagree with you, but believe what you want to about him.

He's a disgusting human being actually.

He's a disgusting human being actually.

Coming from you, a true icon in this field... I'd take that as an expert opinion...

Well, consider this, he seems like a fairly straightforward and nice man.

He owns a very successful guitar company in Las Vegas. He builds guitars. He knows what he's talking about. He will build a guitar the way YOU want it from official parts. It's not infringement, he's taking real parts and making his own guitars.

But, did I mention he has a JOB?

Well, consider this, he seems like a fairly straightforward and nice man.

1. He is a thief.

2. He and I had a bad deal go down he Welshed on.

3. If you think so much of him, go visit him in Vegas and take pictures of all the customers.. and when you do that, notice how curiously unoccupied his staff are behind the counters and counters, and rows and rows of guitars in his "store" which in reality is one-half a converted manufacturing warehouse or some shit.

You read all that shit off the Internet. Go meet him.

His sales are off the internet: all his fake Rickenbackers, Fenders and fake Gibsons, all his fake everything. And if you walk straight back from the front door to the very end, and go thru those doors you'll see the workshop and the woodshop behind it that his internet fakes it is believed eminate from.

Which is 99 percent untrue. He builds less than ten a month back there, he's only got 3 guys when last I looked. The real clutch of fakes come from Asia.

But, did I mention he has a JOB?

Yeah actually he doesn't have a job, like me he's self-employed so your point was what again...

[jhale667]

Had to remain silent on this for a day or two, but...

Well, consider this, he seems like a fairly straightforward and nice man.

Key words being seems like - never met the guy, but don't trust him as far as I could throw him from everything I hear, and this is certainly par for the course.
Nice, straightforward men don't counterfeit other people's products, nor use other Manufacturer's product pictures and claim they're their own offerings. They probably also know better than to imply a well-known major artist endorsement of a guitarist merely because, say... they sent him a sample and he didn't send it back (yet)? Just sayin'.

Well, Roman just HAD to pull FloydUpgrades product photos and listings off his site. His bridge is apparently made of the shittiest possible grade of Ti you can purchase (FloydUpgrades Ti can withstand something like 30k lbs more P.S.I.) , and he's using Adam's pictures to market it? NOT cool.

And we all know one of Adam's major clients/business partners has a cadre of lawyers on standby for just these type of occasions...(and Roman has ripped him off in the past) so perhaps ER may not be a happy camper soon.
