Greetings Ed,
First off I would like to say
that I have purchased two Pearlcasters from you in the past months.... One from
John and the other from Scott. Both had Buzz Feiten setups and Duncan
Vintage Rails, both sound and play just absolutely amazing! The second purchase
I made was for a good friend of mine, Jerry Jennings, who has been playing for
35 years. He is extremely picky and often disappointed with the guitars he
checks out. Recently he was giving serious consideration to an Anderson guitar
he checked out. However, when he played my Pearlcaster he fell in love with it,
much more so than the Anderson. Subsequently, I purchased one for him and he is
loving it! Thank you for your tenaciousness and your drive to make a great
guitar. The industry giants may not like you, but there are plenty of us out
here in the real world who are playing and loving your guitars. Thanks again.
Now, onto the question of the day....
I have a PRS Custom 24 with a 5 position rotary switch that I am considering sending to your shop for some
modifications. The modifications I am considering are as follows:
Buzz Feiten Set Up
Swap out for Seymour Duncan Black Backs that you are using in your Quicksilver's
Swap out for Push/Pull Pots and the 3 way toggle that you are using in your Quicksilver's
I guess I should ask this question first; Is it possible to change out the 5 way rotary for the 3 way
toggle with the way the holes are drilled and the contour of the body?
Depending on the cost, maybe I should just trade it in for one of your
Quicksilver's?? The PRS is basically a never played guitar, so I don't know
what it would be worth to you?
Your thoughts and recommendations are sincerely appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mark A. Koher, Controller

Thank you so much for guiding me
to the Pearlcaster I purchased. While I was caught up in the 50th anniversary
hype of the Stratocaster, I was convinced that if I purchased one, it must be a
better version. And thanks to you, I now own one. Please also pass along my
thanks and appreciation to the young luthier that crafted this phenomenal
instrument. He's really gifted and has truly crafted a masterpiece. I'm stilled
amazed by the Titan neck and am so glad Ed Roman Guitars is promoting the value
that this luthiery represents. I am also proud to say that thanks to Ed Roman
Guitars, I now own several masterpieces, and that while I feel they're worth
every penny, my Pearlcaster and Quicksilver are at the top of my list in the
value for money category.
In closing, it's reassuring that
this luthiery talent continues to develop and that Ed Roman recognizes this and
helps it flourish. I can occasionally be swayed by a pretty website picture, but
when I try to dig deeper and understand what makes the guitar better, I come up
empty. Ed Roman makes it very tough on the competition because you've lifted the
veil. I owe you a great deal of thanks and appreciate Ed Roman's commitment to
offer facts and details that educates the buyer and helps us discriminate the
wheat from the chaff.
Thanks,
Mike Meisinger

I love my new Pearlcaster Serial #05358 master crafted by
your shop! It's everything I was hoping for
and looking for in a "strat" guitar... and then some.
And thanks for working with me
on the price.
There are some questions I have
though?
Firstly, there was no
warranty info or description included with product. I was hoping to read
up about the tech specs of the neck.
I can't remember that fellow's
name you mentioned either who was offered money by Leo Fender for the patent
rights, etc.)
Also, I can't even remember the
name of the wood on this beauty(!). So, I was hoping you could send
me the description and Photo you had on your computer of my
guitar, Ed?
Also, do you have instructions
on the Sperzel locking tuners?
I've never owned a guitar with
these before and want to insure I work them properly.
Last question?
What weight and brand of strings
do you guys use...?
I like the strings that are on
this thing. Are they 10's?
Again, I really appreciate the
help your sales guy, Jason, showed me and his
patience.
Buying a guitar at Ed Roman's is
exactly the kind of experience that every player/perspective guitar buyer
should experience firsthand.
And too think? I might have settled for a
Fender. I'm glad you were available yesterday.
Best regards,

Ed,
I thought it would be easier to send this to you rather than call. Hope
that's OK. Check #2813 for $200.00 as a deposit on the Pearlcaster #05434 will
go in the mail tomorrow.
I am trying to show some discipline here. I'm selling my Strat to a band member
& will put the JS1000 on eBay tomorrow. I will call you in about a week to
settle up for the rest.
I enjoyed talking to you today and I am looking forward to the guitar.
Thanks,
Bill Grove
PS - Despite some bad press, I have found you (and your company) to be a
pleasure to do business with.
Ed's Response
Hello Bill
Thanks for your business I appreciate it.... I am sure you will like the
Pearlcaster as much as you like your Quicksilver.
If your Stratocaster sale or JS 1000 deal fall through, I am only to happy to
give you a decent trade in on them. I am always looking for used guitars. I
usually buy 4 to 5 used guitars a day. You might get a little more on FEEbay and
then you might not. But as of late FEEbay is worse than it ever was. So after
you pay their stupid fees and Paypal's ripoff fees you might find yourself in
not as good as a position as you anticipated.
Bad Press really doesn't count when it's anonymously posted which 99% percent of
it is. Much of it is other dealers who are upset with the fact that we are
Dealers, Wholesalers, Manufacturers, Importers & Exporters.
Other dealers cannot buy at the prices we do because they don t have the money or
courage to place big orders and get the big discounts. They get upset with us
because we undersell them regularly and so they badmouth us. Guitar Center & Sam
Ash have the money but they don't have the know how to buy good stuff. They tend
to stick with the usual white bread bland crap that you see everywhere... just
more of it !!!
Some of the bad press is true... For example I have no patience for idiotic
procrastinating morons who have to get their wives permission to fart. After one
of these guys calls me 3 or 4 times and wastes a bunch of my time. I tend to
ignore them and hope they will go away. Some of them get upset and call me
names. Oh Well you cannot be all things to all people !!!!
