Guitar Acquisition Syndrome
If you would like your personal collection on my website I
would love to host it for free,
You need to prepare a page in the same approximate
format as this one and I will post it for you free of charge.
Naturally I will post any collection at all
as long as it's at least 6 guitars.
I would prefer unique and interesting
guitars more than vintage but vintage is also OK.
I'm especially interested in Hamer, Kramer,
Dean, & BC Rich Collections & other high performance guitars.
Fender & Gibson are OK but they tend to get
boring due to the fact that there are so many of the same guitars.

Many of my customers have asked me about what kind
of guitars I play. Currently I use my Quicksilver
guitar when I need major tonal versatility. I am still using a headless
LSR for a backup, I also have an
old Kramer Voyager that I use when I need a Floyd Rose. I have
several Basses that I play also but I always seem to reach for the
headless LSR with the medium sized body. I love the way it sounds
and plays.
While these guitars & basses will cover me in almost any playing situation, they don't
take care of my GAS. GAS is simply,
"Guitar Acquisition Syndrome". I
currently own about 120 guitars personally and I have decided to show
some of them here on this page. Some of these guitars are expensive
and some aren't. Most of these guitars are cherished prized possessions
which I have spent years looking for. Many of them I have bought
for long term investment reasons and many of them I am just emotionally
attached to. I also am constantly buying
new guitars, I always like something different and unusual.
If you have something that you think I might want. Please call
me directly. 702-249-6007 My Cell Phone Ed Roman

Quicksilver #06719 "The Elephant
Man" (My Latest Acquisition)
This guitar was made from a whole bunch of
factory seconds & blemished parts.
Dumpster divers "Go F YS" You won't find
anything in my garbage, We never throw anything away.
It looks OK in the picture but the wood
never cured correctly and the body is misshapen ridiculously !!
I would probably use this one a lot. I
wouldn't be afraid to drop it down a flight of stairs !!!
This has been in my office for about 6
weeks, surprisingly enough, I have had no less than 6 people try very hard to
buy it from me.
Serial #1 Carved Top Carved Back Hollow
Body
 One of the
real prizes in Ed Roman's Collection
This is the very first Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird, Billy Bo off the
production line !!!!
Signed "For Ed # 1" & personally
pinstriped by Billy F. Gibbons
Ed Roman was the first dealer to be shipped any Gretsch Billy Bo Guitars
This guitar still has the paper wrapped around the bridge and has been
played only By Ed Roman & Billy Gibbons
Pearlcaster Serial # 2
This is Ed's answer to that other traditional guitar
that everyone played 20 years ago. Ed rarely uses this but always
tries to keep serial #1 for posterity.
We have probably built 200 of these as prototypes before we decided to start numbering
them. Ed's Motto is "I wouldn't produce something unless I could make it better". If
you want to see all the photos and details of why this guitar is better,
just click on the link above for details.
I was talked out of this guitar by Dean Restum from
Eric Burdon & the Animals on 12/12/03, There isn't one thing I
wouldn't do for those guys. Eric Burdon is probably one of my all time
favorites.

Steinberger M Series Bass
This is the main bass Ed used for 5 years.
It is totally stock except for the LSR
neck. The other bass Ed was using was a
BC
Rich Eagle that belonged to Allen Woody of the Allman Bros.
No, The model
does not come with the guitar!!! Furthermore
Ed is tired of all you J'Beeps asking if she does.
Currently Ed is using a
Dingwall Fanned Fret Bass.
Ed says, "There is nothing else I have seen out there that I like as much."
The Afterburner is priced pretty low, the only
problem is Sheldon Dingwall is a little behind in delivery. Ed Also uses
a super lightweight Stretch Bass that him & Ron Blake designed.

This was a gift from
Leslie
West.
Leslie used this guitar for 12 years as his Main guitar. Leslie
is one of Ed's favorite guitar players.
Currently he is using an
LSR
WB-1 and an LSR EB-1 that Ed built him in 1998 and 1999.
I am always looking to buy Steinbergers, You can call
me on 702-249-6007 if you have one for sale or perhaps you want to
purchase one
The Ultimate Leslie West Guitar
The original one is currently owned
by the Hard-Rock Cafe and they are not selling it.
Leslie used this guitar for most of the early albums.
It hung in the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame and it is valued at several hundred thousand dollars
RVC offers a beautiful rendition of this incredible Instrument for about
$5,000.00

Dean Korina
Matched Pair
When these guitars first came out they were priced
extremely low. I think that musicians were afraid to buy them
because the price was several thousand dollars cheaper than Gibson.
When I say several thousand dollars cheaper, I mean
several thousand dollars EACH cheaper than Gibson.
Ed immediately bought a matched pair.
Of course Dean
discontinued manufacturing these guitars.
If you want to buy one now the price has tripled
and they are still $750.00 cheaper than Gibson.
(You could wait a while and the price will be up with Gibson, or
try to find one now)
We have some Brand New Korina V's available Call Today or you can buy a Gibson used for $3,000.00

Turner Lindsey Buckingham Model
Rick Turner has made less than 350 of these
Lindsey
Buckingham models in the last 25 years. I sure am glad I
bought one. Rick may cease production of these again. Currently these
are available with many different options and possibilities. Please
give me a call at the shop if you are interested in one.

Quicksilver MIDI
Guitar
Every guitar salesman needs a guitar with a Midi
system onboard
This is the perfect guitar for me.

This is my Jaros Hellfire Guitar
I owned The Jaros Trade-name for a period of about 4 years
I sold the brand in 2005 because I simply couldn't keep up with
orders.
This is probably the nicest one we built during that time
