I do know that Mr. Roman has made himself quite the "reputation" regarding his services and such, but after reading a few of his rants, it really makes you wonder, take it with a grain of salt? Any opinions on Ed's ranting from my fellow TB'rs?

If Ed took that approach, he wouldn't have much to say.

There is something to be said for buying high-priced items from people who are courteous, polite and honest. Ed doesn't seem to have any of these traits. |

Anyone know if they let you plug in there? |

From the pics, I don't think I'd even go in the place (and he has a lot of instrument I'd love to see in person). The place just looks like it has no soul. Lifeless and empty, even with all that gear in it.

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | His "Ghostbuilders" rant was comical. I like how Ed Roman's Custom Shop built Van Valen's guitars. Also, since he claims to have a bunch of Stienberger parts, I wouldn't buy a vintage Stieny from him.

| | | | I knew Ed when he owned East Cost Music in CT (my home). He built a reputation as a rude, obnoxious, a-hole that apparently has followed him to Vegas, or wherever he is now. I bought a Kramer 8 string (remember those BC Rich-ish looking things) from him and swore I would never give him another cent! My friend Morgan used to work for him and eventually took the reins of East Coast when Ed left. He may have been one of the few people who could stand him... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
