Centurion Guitars Construction Techniques


I designed the Centurion Guitar as my flagship model.
It's a wonderful guitar. This guitar is aimed at the serious collector, These guitars are showstoppers and nothing is spared to make them the finest guitars we offer. I designed this guitar 14 years ago for a small boutique builder. I have been building them myself since 2001
We are only planning on 40 of them for 2008.


Centurion Construction Techniques
 

The Centurion Guitar is built to a different standard than all other guitars on the market today.

The Centurion has a deep set neck tenon that extends all the way through the body to the bridge, This method of construction assures the player they will be getting incredible sustain capabilities from a guitar.

Ed Roman's Deep Set Neck Tenon Design
It has advantages & some disadvantages if done incorrectly.

There are several other small builders out there that are using this method. One of them even claims to have invented it. This is an older design by Randy Curlee that I introduced to several builders who use it as their big sales pitch. The fact is they are not doing it correctly and the tone is greatly affected the way they are doing it. I cannot print what they are doing wrong because I don't want to tip them off. Usually I don't mind giving away secrets but I am not fond of these people. They owe me lots of royalties that they are refusing to pay for absolutely no reason.

These days I am a little more cautious about talking too much about my latest innovations. However be assured, if you purchase a Centurion, I will describe in detail my latest concept for achieving even more tone & sustain.

Our most successful model "The Quicksilver"  which competes directly against the PRS Guitar & currently outsells the Centurion at a 12 to 1 ratio will also incorporate this new concept by mid 2007.

As of July 2006 the Quicksilver can be ordered with a deep set neck tenon. Give us a call if you are interested !!!

I am now offering both the Centurion & the Quicksilver in a Neck Thru Body Construction Style also.
