The Grand Poobah, The Big Cheese, A Living Legend In His Own Mind (just ask him, he'll tell ya).
A bit scattered, a bit fried, and a LOT burned out! The eye in the sky asleep at the keyboard,Ed is the Visionary, the idea man, the mover and the shaker. He gets so many creative ideas that he can barely keep up with the day-to-day operation of the business. He is always coming up with new innovative designs for guitars.
Ed demands perfection and is unhappy when a plan doesn't come together. His office can be quiet for 3 to 5 hours and all of a sudden he can get a bug up his ass, and then He bellows on the intercom for his minions.
Ed is a total workaholic and often works late into the night, burning the midnight oil, sometimes frustrated because there are not enough hours in a day. He is an intense individual who has a sharp sense of urgency.
He is highly controversial on the net, mostly for his unforgiving opinions and nuclear-powered rants.
Sales Manager and walking encyclopedia of guitar and bass knowledge
If Scott doesn't know something about a guitar or bass then it's doubtful anyone else will know either. He is also the lead guitarist for Face Down, a very popular Heavy Metal Band In The Las Vegas Area. He's a very pleasant person and much friendlier than this picture would lead one to believe. Scott is also a D.P.M., having left a medical practice to pursue his passion - music.
Scott has been with Ed longer than anyone else presently in the company. He was the first guy Ed hired when the business moved to Vegas almost 10 years ago and he continually impresses Ed with his knowledge of guitars and all things musical.
Like everyone else here; Scott is here because he wants to be. And his passion / love is music and guitars.
Brett left the comfort of a government job with DHS to come back to work for Ed in late August of 2011. Who'd resign a great gig like that to come back to Las Vegas? Brett would.
Brett began working for Ed Roman Guitars back in December of 2002 and was with Ed until 2006. He's been designing and building websites for over 14 years in Las Vegas and holds a BA degree in English with minors in Music Composition and Classical Civilizations.
He designed our Abstract Anarchist, several of our headstocks and is our ad man as well. After being away from Las Vegas for 2 years, he realized that "There's No Place Like Vegas,"™ and ESPECIALLY no place like Ed Roman Guitars, so he's back in Vegas with Ed Roman.
I work here at my station at Ed Roman's - The King Of Guitars - as a builder and Almighty Repair King of the Universe!
My life is full and never ending with its problems and tribulations to go with it ... yet I stay content and true. I work with some of the most talented and strange people I have ever had the chance of knowing. I love them all! They are all together great and true people. Overall ...
Now, with all that I have written in this bio of myself ... I love my job and always look forward to new projects, expanding my knowledge in this trade, and producing some of the most outrageous guitars I have ever played or built. It is my life and passion as an employee of Ed Roman Guitars.
Mike is not only a gifted artisan with a critical eye, but also a talented musician with a great ear.
Mike has a passion for building fine guitars and pushing the limits of design and utility. He's always looking for new equipment and tools for the shop to make our guitars the coolest and most innovative on the planet.
