Magic Twanger Model

Greetings Ed,

First off I would like to say that I have purchased two Pearlcasters from you in the past months.... One from John and the other from Scott. Both had Buzz Feiten setups and Duncan Vintage Rails, both sound and play just absolutely amazing! The second purchase I made was for a good friend of mine, Jerry Jennings, who has been playing for 35 years. He is extremely picky and often disappointed with the guitars he checks out. Recently he was giving serious consideration to an Anderson guitar he checked out. However, when he played my Pearlcaster he fell in love with it, much more so than the Anderson. Subsequently, I purchased one for him and he is loving it! Thank you for your tenaciousness and your drive to make a great guitar. The industry giants may not like you, but there are plenty of us out here in the real world who are playing and loving your guitars. Thanks again.

Now, onto the question of the day....

I have a PRS Custom 24 with a 5 position rotary switch that I am considering sending to your shop for some modifications. The modifications I am considering are as follows:

Buzz Feiten Set Up

Swap out for Seymour Duncan Black Backs that you are using in your Quicksilver's

Swap out for Push/Pull Pots and the 3 way toggle that you are using in your Quicksilver's

I guess I should ask this question first; Is it possible to change out the 5 way rotary for the 3 way toggle with the way the holes are drilled and the contour of the body? Depending on the cost, maybe I should just trade it in for one of your Quicksilver's?? The PRS is basically a never played guitar, so I don't know what it would be worth to you?

Your thoughts and recommendations are sincerely appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Thank you so much for guiding me to the Pearlcaster I purchased. While I was caught up in the 50th anniversary hype of the Stratocaster, I was convinced that if I purchased one, it must be a better version. And thanks to you, I now own one. Please also pass along my thanks and appreciation to the young luthier that crafted this phenomenal instrument. He's really gifted and has truly crafted a masterpiece. I'm stilled amazed by the Titan neck and am so glad Ed Roman Guitars is promoting the value that this luthiery represents. I am also proud to say that thanks to Ed Roman Guitars, I now own several masterpieces, and that while I feel they're worth every penny, my Pearlcaster and Quicksilver are at the top of my list in the value for money category.

In closing, it's reassuring that this luthiery talent continues to develop and that Ed Roman recognizes this and helps it flourish. I can occasionally be swayed by a pretty website picture, but when I try to dig deeper and understand what makes the guitar better, I come up empty. Ed Roman makes it very tough on the competition because you've lifted the veil. I owe you a great deal of thanks and appreciate Ed Roman's commitment to offer facts and details that educates the buyer and helps us discriminate the wheat from the chaff.

Thanks,

Mike Meisinger

I love my new Pearlcaster Serial #05358 master crafted by Alan Dreher! It's everything I was hoping for and looking for in a "strat" guitar... and then some.

And thanks for working with me on the price. There are some questions I have though?

Firstly, there was no warranty info or description included with product. I was hoping to read up about the tech specs of the neck. (I can't remember that fellow's name you mentioned either who was offered money by Leo Fender for the patent rights, etc.)

Also, I can't even remember the name of the wood on this beauty(!). So, I was hoping you could send me the description and Photo you had on your computer of my guitar, Ed? Also, do you have instructions on the Sperzel locking tuners? I've never owned a guitar with these before and want to insure I work them properly. Last question? What weight and brand of strings do you guys use...? I like the strings that are on this thing. Are they 10's? Again, I really appreciate the help your sales guy, Jason, showed me and his patience.

Buying a guitar at Ed Romans is exactly the kind of experience that every player/perspective guitar buyer should experience firsthand.

And too think? I might have settled for a Fender. I'm glad you were available yesterday. Best regards,
