Quicksilver Endorsers And Players

I just received Quicksilver #03-220 which is white korina body with a beautiful transparent green quilted maple top. I ordered this guitar sight unseen and was a little apprehensive about spending almost $4,000 for an instrument that I had never heard or played. I am primarily a bass player and use several extremely high-end instruments from Fodera, MTD and F-Bass.

I am therefore very accustomed to high quality, hand made bass guitars, but, playing more and more guitar, I found my old Strat Plus and Les Paul Deluxe somewhat lacking. After playing the Roman Quicksilver for about five minutes, I realized that I had just acquired something quite different and very special. The neck and fingerboard felt great (this is an understatement!), the fit and finish were superb, and last but certainly not least, the sound was amazing. To be clear, each sound was amazing as the Quicksilver is quite a chameleon, being able to shift from Strat-like sounds (with sustain) to meaty Les Paul tones with a simple flip of a switch or two. I knew I was in for a night of little sleep and much guitar playing, and the more I played my new Quicksilver, the more I liked it.

Thanks Ed for designing a guitar that I believe represents the state of the art in electric guitars today. I now only wish I had two.

Dear Ed:

This is Charlie DiBuduo, Jr. You should know me by now because in the last 3 or 4 months we have done a lot of business together. Well, this is about the Quicksilver line of guitars you have developed.

First of all I would like to thank you for teaching me so much about the way guitars are built and some of the most important things that I feel every guitar player in the world should know as you do, before making a purchase on any guitar. Also I have to say if there's any guitar players out there that don't check out your website before buying any guitar they all should. Your website has to be the most informative website on guitars I have ever seen.

As you know I've been playing guitar since I was nine years old. My first electric guitar was a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop which I purchased in 1972. As a matter of fact its now in your Connecticut shop with Alan being retopped and also having other work done to it to make the improvements that were needed on it.

That's really not what this e mail is about though. I'm happy with what your doing with my Les Paul and I can't wait to get it back but this e mail is really in reference to your line of Quicksilver Guitars which I feel are the best guitars in the world that I've ever played and I've played many. As a matter of fact I now own four Gibson Les Pauls two Steinbergers and 3 Kramers which are all electric guitars and I also have one Washburn acoustic guitar which my wife gave me as an anniversary present a few years ago.

Since I have been playing guitar I feel that you are the best man I have ever met on the planet when it comes to explaining in detail the differences in the guitars being sold on the market today and the ones your developing. When you walk into any Music Shop here in Vegas and I don't want to mention any names in particular because I've been to them all the people working there know nothing about how a guitar is made. Since I have met you I have learned more about why anyone should be buying any guitar from your shop.

OK now lets get to the Quicksilver guitars that are built and designed by you. I have been a Gibson man since I've been playing guitar until now. I have changed my preferences from being a Gibson man to a Quicksilver guitarist for many reasons and I'm not going to go into to much detail as to why. Let anyone who reads this e mail visit you and they'll know what I mean. First of all the Tonal Woods used on your line of Quicksilver guitars are just incredible. The body designs had to be done so carefully and with every detail in mind for any guitar player to be able to play the guitar comfortably especially with the 24 fret guitars that most of the guitar builders out there can't build for the guitarist to reach. I mean why buy a 24 fret guitar if you can't reach the frets easily enough to play. Well, the Quicksilver is the first 24 fret guitar I have owned that makes it an ease to reach the frets in the higher registers.

The way the guitar was designed in every aspect had to be for comfort, sound, looks, feel, and ease to play. I don't think I'll ever play a Gibson again even though I own several for all the reasons I learned from you and because the Quicksilver's are just an overall better guitar then anything out there today. I have now become a loyal customer of you for many reasons. In fact there's so many reasons that I can't type them all.

You are the most knowledgeable man I've ever met in guitar building and I don't think anyone can even come close to you. And I do mean all the big companies out there that I really don't want to mention to protect you and myself from any kind of lawsuits but I'm sure any professional or learner out there knows the companies I'm talking about. When I first got my Quicksilver home I immediately got out my amp and tuned it up. The intonation was perfect. That happens to be the first guitar I ever bought that didn't need some kind of tweaking done on it to make it perfect. The Quicksilver was perfect.

I really don't know what else to say except THANK YOU for educating me on why you should buy a quality product which the major guitar companies just can't afford to build anymore I'm sorry to say. I now love the Quicksilver guitar I purchased from you and I'm sold on them. I don't think there's anything that can come close to the value of these fine crafted guitars you have developed. Well, I do still want to have a Leslie West Rocket made for myself and I will in time but for now I'm a Quicksilver man and can't go back to the Gibsons. I'll hold on to them but they are all retired now and the Quicksilver is my main guitar at this time. After the Rocket I'll probably be satisfied and stop buying guitars. Well, until your next development comes out at least.

Thank you Ed Roman for having me as one of your customers. Its always a pleasure to talk to you because it seems every sentence that comes out of your mouth is a teaching experience and I feel all the professional guitarists out there and the learners should all experience a conversation with the most knowledgeable man on the planet before buying any guitar. And if they don't buy one from you they are definitely making a huge mistake. Thanks again Ed for everything. Your a huge asset to anybody that plays a guitar or bass.

I love my Quicksilver and that's all there is to it. I feel nothing comes close to it. I'm a very happy guitarist now that I've met you, and when you get your amp out here LETS JAM MAN. Thanks again Mr. Roman for everything you've done for me. If anyone out there doesn't listen to this man your making a very big mistake in purchasing a guitar. Believe me the guy knows his stuff and I mean really knows his stuff.

Best Wishes,

Charlie DiBuduo Jr.
