Ed Roman has been building Abstract Guitars for more than 15 years, There have been over 150 different body shapes made. Some of these were one of a kind creations custom designed by customers. Some of them were really cool,  some of them weren't. The basic concept of Abstract guitars is to give the customer exactly what he or she wants.

Models like the Rockingbird, Caligula and the Maximus have been extremely successful and have been selling very well. Some models like the Anarchist and the Mysterion have been less than what we had hoped for. It's been a lot of fun coming up with new ideas, and copying old models that have been discontinued.  The object has always been to build the absolutely best highest  quality guitars that we could.

Question
Why is Abstract different ?

Answer
Choice  & Personalization  No company anywhere offers as many choices. Abstract is a true custom guitar. I defy any other company to match Abstract in customization possibilities.
