 Few people are aware that during the 80's Neal
Schon decided to
produce a guitar line. Of course saying you are going to produce a guitar line
and actually doing it are two entirely different things. Neal enlisted the help
of Grover Jackson who was already involved in building guitars for him
personally.
However, Grover could barely produce enough guitars to satisfy
his "Jackson Guitar" customers.
From what little information that Ed has have been able to gather,
from talking to both Neal & Grover. Ed has gleaned that there was a parting of
ways. This may have been caused by the new owners of Jackson and the fact that
they could not deliver. I am just guessing here, because Neal doesn't like to
talk about it.
Ed's own experiences with Grover are similar, Grover is
currently building the necks for the Quicksilver Guitars. Ed has discovered that
Grover is such an incredible perfectionist that getting product finished is a
real challenge. Fortunately for Ed he is also making several other brands of
guitars & Quicksilvers are not the only means of income. The Grover
Jackson made Quicksilver necks are
excellent & worth waiting for.
 In 2002, Ed Roman acquired a number of the original
Grover Jackson made Schon guitars & several hundred body cores from the Jackson
company. Most of them
were incomplete and require assembly & setups. For a limited time these
great guitars can be purchased exclusively from Ed Roman. Some of them
have not even been painted and will be sold as body blanks only.
The prices will naturally go up
as the supply dwindles. Buy one now!
Ed Roman is now making Ferrari rails like on the
Schon's available on other brands of guitars,
