The Mini Ergo Model was introduced in June 2008 The EB-1
(AKA Edberger)
The LSR EB-1 This is a new
shape we are making available
LSR Supreme
Quilted very highly figured maple top (10 top), Maximum Go, Minimum Show
A Rock-solid Working Tool Choice of Alder, Ash or Basswood Body, Satin finish (Hand Rubbed) LSR VIP Exacta The Exacta model is an exact
duplicate of the guitar that was built for whatever Rockstar or celebrity that
that particular model was named for. For example the Rick Derringer
Exacta is always a red sunburst double cutaway model, The Leslie West Exacta is
always a certain body shape with certain pickups but because Leslie has so many
of them there are no color restrictions. Quilted Maple Top Highly Figured Highly Delineated
Blister Quilt LSR went on to build and design a number of original designs and a number of one of a kind familiar shapes. Some of these familiar shapes happened simply because a customer might request a "Custom guitar with a body loosely resembling a Rickenbacker or a "Custom headless guitar shaped like a Kramer. LSR not being much more than a fairly large custom shop was able to get away with doing things that a larger company would have been sued for. After about 600 guitars were built several competing companies had their attorneys send cease and desist letters requesting that LSR no longer offer these certain offending models. Leslie West, & Buck Dharma are two of the original LSR artists. Leslie even wanted to produce the guitars under his own name which only lasted a short time due to LSR's failure to be able to mass produce. To this day all LSR Guitars are hand made and there are many body designs available that are not pictured on the web. If we picture them we will only get a cease and desist letter, so we decided not to picture them.
LSR RRB-1 This model comes in several different variations, shorter or longer upper horn LSR Virtually cornered the Steinberger market, this was done
by purchasing as many bodies, necks, bridges and associated parts as possible.
During Steinbergers last remaining days, the company CEO Pat Cummings was
reduced to paying off debts to vendors with parts & guitars. He also paid
employees with product. Ed Roman contacted all these people and purchased all
of the remaining parts in existence. One Vendor had 26 Steinberger Guitars and
boxes and boxes of bridges & headpieces, Ed Roman even went as far as to buy
all the Hohner & Cort inventory from those respective companies also.  LSR Rebel Gibson the owner of the name Steinberger objected heavily to the use of the Suffix "Berger". So LSR changed the names on all the models The Ed Berger became the EB-1. It should be noted though that Ed Roman had asked the people at Gibson as far back as 1997 if they had any problems with him using the suffix Berger. At that time they did not seem to care. I was only after an extremely successful NAMM Show appearance and press releases being issued that Gibson objected.  The LSR Bolero Archtop Built for John Morvay Ed Roman has been building all of John's headless guitars for close to 12 years
LSR EB-1 This is the original LSR Guitar, This is the one the line was conceived behind. Today 10 years later there are over 45 different body shapes and climbing, The headless neck design lends itself extremely well to almost any shape and design.
Custom Inlays are available LSR Jewel The Jewel is without a doubt one of the most beautiful guitars ever produced. It is also just as functional as any of the LSR other headless style guitars. This one I made for myself personally in 1993. The tone wood combination of African limba and quilted blister maple plus the addition of the high output Duncan Black/Back TM pickups makes this the ultimate guitar soundwise. We now offer this guitar in 50 new body styles.
