Ed specializes in the original single craftsman made models.

It has recently come to my attention that there is a rumor that all of the early McNaught guitars had tuning issues. This is an absolute falsehood and possibly an attempt from some one to hurt value on the original guitars.  I personally own serial # 1, # 2,  #4, & #9. I can attest to the fact that these guitars were the very best guitars ever made by McNaught.

Many companies have to compete with their own original guitars. For example a wise PRS or McNaught buyer should try to procure an early hand built low serial # guitar.

When a buyer goes out of his way to buy an early guitar it can serve to drive the manufacturer crazy. He is in business to sell new guitars, he has no desire to see his earlier guitars selling instead of one that is available today. For this and other reason companies will fabricate all kinds of BS reasons why their newer guitars are better than their older ones.

The Original McNaught Guitars Were Numbered
1 through  30 for the Tempest 
01 through 030 for the Gemini
001 through 217 for the Phoenix
The way to tell an early McNaught is the headstock and serial #

The Tempest & Gemini were sued out of existence because some small time guitar builder thought they looked too much like his guitar. In fact they weren't even close, but McNaught didn't have the money to fight this little rich boy an therefore two very cool models disappeared.
I'm not even allowed to show pictures of them on my website.  If you are curious and want to see what one looks like give Ed Roman a call ask for Ed Personally. He will give you a website in the UK to look at where these guitars have been posted for more than 10 years. Ed does not sell these models but he knows where most of them are.

There were several other short lived models,  The custom which was horrible, it resembled a Jackson Soloist that was pregnant and had a bulky neck on it. These guitars were extremely well built and very nice looking but they weren't players. Collectors bought them rapidly because there were several new innovative ideas incorporated into the first ones.

Matched set of McNaught Originals

"Built Entirely By Dave McNaught"

The person who originally owned these guitars paid a very large sum of money to acquire them. They are the only two original models completely made from Walnut and Walnut Burl.  As usual whenever there are dark finishes like these two. Camera limitations apply to the photos.

All the original McNaught Guitars came with absolutely no heel and most of the originals came with Seymour Duncan Blackback Pickups. Today they are using some other lesser costly pickups and there is that awful heel.

Granted the new guitars may be much cheaper but they aren't even close to what the originals were.
