Typical No-Balls Internet Flamer
Afraid to use their real names
Currently there are some individuals on the internet who don't agree with
my opinions. I have no problem with that. I also have no problem with
profanity and flaming. I actually welcome the publicity.
I do have a problem with moronic dealers and losers who don't sign their
names to their flames. I have problems with other dealers who seek to denigrate
anyone by pretending to be a consumer and flaming someone just because he either
beat you to a sale or refused to sell you something.
Most people are not aware that
Guitar Center owns Harmony Central & that is used to be owned by
American Music.
I
have been flamed for my opinions and my views. Cool. I have been flamed
for my intelligence level, Cool. I have even been flamed for talking about
where I eat, Cool. I have been flamed for being too busy to answer the phone
properly, that's all cool. I just wish these people weren't so ashamed of their
own opinions that they try to cover up who they are with fake hotmail addresses
and fake user names.
If you have a problem that & you want to make public.
Say it loudly, Say it proudly and don't be a coward, Use your real
name, I always do !!

Below Are Some Hate Mails
Hey my name is andrew and
i think that ur
a fagget ginger and stop making
prs look so fucking bad cause
there much better than the old ones. Your
guitars suck i know all about you and how you
ship your parts over seas and use them on your guitars
u fagget write me back at
nxthendrix123@mac.co
ED ROMAN RESPONDS
9/14/07 Sorry
If I got carried away on this !
Hello Andrew
So, you are gonna be the next Hendrix, Lord,
help me get past that one !!!
Jimi Hendrix was an Innovator and he had an open
mind, You have to have an open mind to be innovative !!!!
Jimi would probably turn in his grave, if he
knew that you were claiming to be the Next Hendrix.
Why is it that all the childish hate mail I get,
seems to come from people who can't even spell?
So if I'm reading your letter right it is your contention that the
new PRS guitars are better than the old ones.
I disagree with you !!
The difference between me and you is, That I
would never call you a Stupid, Moronic, Inbred, Lowlife, Faggot
just because we have a difference in opinions about some silly
guitar.
You also say that my "guitars suck and that I
ship parts overseas"
I presume you probably meant that I buy parts
from
overseas. Then you call me a Fagget
and ask me to write you back.
OK, first I suggest that you check your facts,
before you accuse me of something I am not doing. I'm willing to
bet big money you live somewhere pretty far from civilization. I
would bet $500.00 that you have never even been within 50 miles of
one of my guitars. So I ask you, How do you know that my guitars
suck???
Tell me why they suck, Maybe I will try to fix
whatever it is that makes them suck... I always welcome
constructive criticism.
You said you wanted to be written to... OK,
I'll post your letter & email address on the website.
Maybe some of my customers could email you &
tell you whether they liked my guitars or tell you why they suck.
Who knows you might make some new friends, you and your new
friends could start a secret society of little hate mailers. You
guys could have secret clandestine meetings and send out more of
your childish prattlings. Won't that be fun !!!!
I'd like to remind you, it's not polite to call
people names just because you have a difference of opinion. I
would never stoop so low and call you names like.... A
Dumbass, Jizz-Gargling, Country Fried, Ball-Jiggling, Bloody
Gaping Rectal Puckerhole that doesn't even know how to spell his
own nickname you probably had in all 6 years of Kindergarten that
you attended.
Dude, It's spelled
FAGGOT !!! (
Just like Maggot but with an F ) Just look at
your drivers license it's spelled very clearly there. Whooops
sorry, you probably don't have a drivers license. If you are
going to call me a Faggot, At least spell that right !!!!!
sheeeeeesh
Sometimes, I have bad days, and I get bummed out
over things. But when things really get bad, a letter like yours
will cheer me up. I truly hope that some other people will be
entertained as much as I was.
Should I take the high road? or should I take
the low road? High or Low? This is really hard.... Oh
Hell,
You Sir, are definite living proof that Monkeys
have Anal Sex with Baboons.
I'm Sorry, I just couldn't help it. The Devil
Made Me Do It !!!!
I really am sorry that I got so graphic here...
But what the Hell, you laughed right.
Ed Roman
PS
What in the Hell does "Fagget
Ginger" mean? I truly, couldn't figure that one out !!!!
nxthendrix123@aim.com
FOOTNOTE
Anyone who would like to correspond with our
friend Andrew have at it..... Personally I think he has the
intelligence of a small stump.
My sincerest & deepest apologies to small
stumps everywhere!!!! I really don't want to offend small
stumps. There are lots of them out there and if they all started
writing hate mails it would be too much to deal with !!!!
BTW if anyone knows who this cretin really
is, You might recognize his email address please call me or email
me with his name. I would really love to publish it and get
him his well deserved credit.

| Hey
Doosh bags
Your Gutars
arent shit they look like they are
maid by mexicans.
I own a Gibson lesPaul and
that a real mans guitar
it weighs a ton beuz its
builded for a a real man
peole who play
you quicki guitar are all a
bunchhhhh of fags and
pussys
I AM coming to
las Vegas in the next month for the
RODEO and i will stop in yior stupid
crappey store.
i will show you what a real
mans guitar is.
I bought it for
300 at my pawnshop. it had a
spilt neck but someone repaired it
reel good. it stays tuned up
reel good 1
how come all the best
bands play them... huh ansewr me
who dont
you. You have no answer do you
Stan The Blue Man From
Missisipi Mud
Ed Roman Responds
What can I possibly say to a guy like
this. I wouldn't even know where to start !!!
Ok, let's start with the more than 25 spelling mistakes, You
would think these morons would at least have a spell check program
I didn't see any punctuation at all, The grammatical context
could be compared to retarded child in Kindergarten
Just what is it with these cretins. This guy sounds like he
never had a pair of shoes & probably has a tooth missing right in
the front.
I can't help but feel sorry for people like this, but his
letter begs for an answer...
Ok, Stan try this on for size !!
First of all, our guitars are not made by Mexicans, So what if they were. Mexicans have a great work ethic, with a
little training they are fully capable of producing great
instruments.
You say you are a real man, You brag about owning a $300.00
Gibson, we will see just how much of a man you are
WHEN & IF you actually show your
toothless face next month.
If you were a real man, you wouldn't resort to hate mail to
try to prove it .
You and your piece of garbage guitar are no better than a
paper bag full of dog dudu...
(I'm Sorry I just couldn't help that.... Now
I'm sinking to his level.... Oh Nooooooo)
Ok I'm Back.. whew..... that did
feel good to get that off my chest !!!!!
I have to get to the only sane question that you asked
(The reason that the best bands play them)
There are lots of reasons !!!!
1. Force of Habit
2. Monkey See Monkey Do
(Very Common))
They might be trying to appeal to the lower
intelligence bottom feeders, people like yourself.
((Ooops sorry, I slipped again)
Because many of these large companies have
artist relations departments that pay these celebrity endorser
whores a large sum of money for being seen with their brand of
guitars.
5. Because the player actually likes a guitar
that doesn't have the ability to sound different.
6. Because the player has been brainwashed &
programmed from youth to only play what other people play.
7. Because the player wants to create an image
of a retro look and is willing to sacrifice the playability, tone &
lightness of a modern designed guitar.
8. Oh and my favorite
one... And this one is big in LA ... Because he is told
that if he doesn't play one of these antique retro guitars, he can't
be in their faggy little band. I
wish just once someone would say that to me, Oh Pleeeeeaaase,
Just once, someone would say that to me. (I would put
his head in a toilet bowl and forget to flush) Ohhh
Just Once !!!!!
I guess there are plenty of people out there
who like overweight , muddy sounding, extremely fragile, poorly
built, machine made, production guitars. Otherwise how else could
these bloated corporations afford multi million dollar advertising
campaigns. Of course all the magazines are deathly afraid to say
anything negative because they cannot afford to lose a huge
advertising account.
Personally, I wish these companies would stop spending
millions of dollars suing every company who uses any minor thing
that they made popular 50 years ago & spend just a little of that
money on research & development. There is absolutely no reason at
all, why these companies couldn't come up with incredible new ground
breaking ideas. They could easily revolutionize the guitar business.
Instead they are content to spend millions advertising those ancient
designs & models, that are simply no longer pertinent, except to the
people who are brainwashed & programmed..
WAIT
Before you immediately
disagree with me... spend a little time on the internet and
do a little research on mind control, brainwashing & how people
become programmed. If after you have honestly and open
mindedly done that, I would bet that there would be very few
real valid reasons to go backwards. If you still can't see the
light, you can always join the ranks of our hero, "Stan The
Bluesman From Mississippi"
IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE
If you think I am a little over the
top with this? Remember, I'm the one
originally being attacked by people for trying to bring new fresh
ideas to the table. I'm the guy being attacked not because I
say those old guitars are crap, but because I am saying that the new
guitars are more technologically advanced, they stay in tune better,
they have the advantage of newer, better electronics and they won't
break as easy. They are lighter and easier to wield, They can come
in any radius or scale that you like. Best of all you are not
limited by 22 frets any longer. New ideas like direct
coupling, & split coil pickups and matched tonewoods this is what I
am being attacked for. |
| Here is a typical "No-Balls A'hole's" hate
mail When will you realize that the word WORLD relates to all the countries on
planet Earth and not just the United States of America??? Personally, the
majority of the Guitars that you promote are some of the worst Guitars I have
ever seen, EVER! (Of course, I do not include the likes of Fender, Givson,
Martin,& PRS who are the real manufacturers of some of America's
finest Guitars.) And I've also decided that the word Sh*te is too good a word to
waste on describing your Guitars. It's no wonder that you've got so many Sh*te
Guitars in stock as there obviously aren't enough stupid people in the WORLD to
buy them.
Another
Moron who apparently does not have a spellchecker on his computer, who didn't sign his hate mail !!!!!
But I traced it to Buckeroo@talk21.com
I will respond to this twerp anyway.....
Dear Buckeroo
I feel sorry for you because you are an uninformed, brainwashed,
Individual. You should take spelling lessons, you cannot even spell
your precious Gibson correctly. Anyway you can keep right on playing
your bleached white bread brands of guitars like the rest of the lemmings
marching off into the sea.
Soon your kind will drop and die !!!

THIS LETTER CAME RECENTLY
Even though I disagree with Rick Hammer I am
printing it because at least he had the balls to sign his name.
lang="0" face="Arial" size="2" FAMILY="SANSSERIF"HI MY NAME IS RICK
AND I AM VERY DISAPOINTED (sic) WI
TH THIS COMPARISSON (sic) PAGE. I FIND IT VERY INCORRECT
AND REALLY DISSES (sic) PRS GUITARS AND THERE (sic) WORKERS VERY MUCH. PRS GUITARS ARE HAND
MADE , ALMOST EVERY THINGS IS DONE BY HAND NOT MACHINE LIKE ALL OTHER CHEAP
GUITARS. I OWN TWO PRS GUITARS AND ONE GIBSON, AND THE PRS GUITARS ARE SOME OF
THE BEST SOUNDING GUITARS IN THE WORLD. I WOULD NOT TRADE MINE
ANYDAY(sic) FOR A
QUICKSILVER BECAUSE THEY DONT (sic) EVEN COMPARE TO THE PRS. I DO NOT
MEEN(sic) TO BE A
JERK ABOUT THIS IN ANYWAY BUT THEY ARE NOT EVEN GOOD LOOKING GUITARS ESPECIALLY
COMPARED TO THE PRS GUITARS. WHEN I SEE PROFESSIONALS PLAY I NEVER SEE ANY
QUICKSILVER I SEE LOTS AND LOTS OF PRSGUITARS. THE INFORMATION ON THAT PAGE IS
ONLY AN OPINION NOT FACTS. THAT IS MISLEADING TO SOON OWNERS OF A PRS GUITAR
AND DOESNT (sic) HELP PRS OUT IN ANYWAY AND THEY DONT (sic) DISERVE(sic) TO LOOSE
BUISNESS
(sic)
BECAUSE OF AN OPINION. THOSE WORKERS THERE ARE VERY HARD WORKERS AND
DISERVE
(sic)
MORE CREDIT THEN ANY GUITAR BUILDERS IN THE BUISNESS(sic) OF MAKING GUITARS. ALMOST
ALL OF THAT INFO IS INCORRECT ABOUT THE PRS , PLEASE LOOK MORE INTO IT BEFORE
YOU PUT IS DOWN THE USE MANY MATERIALS IN INLAYS, PICKUPS , AND THEY DO BIND THE
HEADSTOCK ON ABOUT 5 MODELS.
PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK PLEASE AND THANKS. RICK
HAMMER
Dear Rick
I read your letter and I am sorry that you don't agree with or believe what I
say. I can assure you I check all my facts. I can assure you that PRS
would sue me if I lied or stated any blatant untruths.
Here are my answers to your comments....
1. Your first sentence has two misspellings disapointed
should be
disappointed and comparisson should be comparison. there is no comma after the
HI greeting and I will comment that you are entitled to your opinion..
2. In your second sentence you only make one spelling mistake but your
grammatical composition needs some serious attention. You state that "YOU FIND
IT VERY INCORRECT" Believe me I am 100% correct
(I counted 13 incorrect spellings in your letter).
3. In your third sentence you state that "PRS GUITARS ARE HAND MADE"
You couldn't be more wrong! In
fact PRS guitars are completely and totally made on machinery. Even the sanding
operations are done by machine. I can't think of any other company that performs
as much of their work on CNC machines as PRS. If you don't believe me I suggest
you call the PRS factory and ask them outright if their guitars are hand made or
machine made.
4. I am not going to break your entire letter down because time does not
permit it, I don't mean to sound like a wise ass in correcting your
spelling, punctuation and grammar but you are obviously either 13 years old or
very poorly educated. There is nothing wrong with being 13, and there is nothing
wrong with being uneducated. In fact I myself was 13 once and I am also a
"Voluntary Educational Non Participant" (Fancy for Dropout). But when you
write a letter like yours and make statements that are so completely wrong
coupled with the fact that your spelling and grammatical correctness is very
immature you further enhance my position on programming & brainwashing. I
certainly am not an expert in punctuation and grammar but I think about what I
write and I don't ramble off statements like yours regarding opinions not facts
and the fact that PRS workers work hard and deserve more. Hey this is
turning into a run on sentence ha ha....
5.. I looked at PRS's new 2003 catalog recently. It actually shows
pictures of people working on guitars by hand.
THAT IS TOTAL BS. those pictures are posed, contrived and
totally misleading.
PRS sends their inlay work out to Pearlworks, I am sure that they are doing
almost no hard carving except on an occasional private stock model. I have
nothing against any one who works at PRS, I am sure they are all nice people,
even the ones that come into my store to spy on me. You make a statement to the
effect that PRS workers don't deserve to be dissed, You state they are hard
workers. You are coming out in defense of PRS and for this I admire your
tenacity. However you are wrong, your facts are wrong, your information
gathering is suffering from not enough questions being asked of the right
people.
PRS workers probably work very hard, but they do as management tells them,
They have little or no control over how the guitar is designed, built,
advertised or sounds. They go about their day as any worker probably does. They
do what they are told and probably do the best they can with whatever they have
to work with. At 5:00 when the whistle blows they go home and that's probably
that. In the old days I'll bet they worked late, I bet they cared much
more about what the guitars were going to play and sound like than they do
today.
The last thing I will address is your apparent distaste for my
Quicksilver Guitars. By the way, the Quicksilver was inspired totally by
the pre 1995 PRS. I used the pre 1995 PRS as a benchmark in designing the
Quicksilver. I'm not ashamed to say that I learned a great deal about guitar
building from Paul Reed Smith, and some of his earlier employees. I am willing
to bet $100.00 that you have never played a Quicksilver, I'll bet you probably
have never even seen one close up.
You of course are entitled to your opinion and you are completely entitled to
hate me and hate my guitars and hate the ground I walk on. That's what so great
about this country. We can still hate people publicly and not have to worry
about getting shot for it. Just remember everyone including me is entitled to
the same privileges.
I don't hate you, I just hate that you really don't have your facts together,
and you really should spend at least a few minutes to check what you say. In
your Post Script you say that "You
don't mean to be a jerk about this and that you love my selection".
Why don't you buy a PRS from me, I absolutely guarantee the best price on any PRS model that you will get from any dealer anywhere!
Sincerely
Ed Roman
Rick's Post Script "PS" below
I DO NOT MEEN (sic) TO BE A JERK ABOUT THIS AND I DO LOVE
YOU SELECTION OF PRS
AND GIBSON! ROCK ON
RICK
note from Ed
Why am I not surprised that Rick Hammer also likes Gibson Guitars?
Rick is obviously a product of advertising, mind control &
he has been brainwashed & he needs to be completely
deprogrammed......
|
I recently
read one of your posted "Flamers" by Rick Hammer. I have one question: How
could someone this ignorant and / or young manage to afford two PRS's and a
Gibson? (I think I'm seriously underemployed.)
On a
personal note: I may not agree with all of your (Ed's) personal views, but
when it comes to guitars I have yet to find anything you are wrong about. Your
display at the summer NAMM show was, overall, the best at the show. I thought
the lines you displayed were absolute tops in terms of quality and cosmetics.
(Lines at the show: Quicksilver, Pearlcaster, Jet, Jaros, Abstract, Gledura.)
They all played great and looked stunning.
(an ignorant hillbilly in Western
N.C.)
Thanks for your
continued support. The newest line is Viking Guitars and I am talking to a
world renowned Archtop builder for my 2004 lineup.

Why Buy Your PRS From Ed Roman?
Buying a PRS today is no easy thing to do. There are way too
many models, and not all options are available on all of them. I can give you a
either a quickie thumbnail overview, of all the models, or I can give you an
extremely detailed synopsis on every model ever offered by PRS.
I have been selling PRS guitars since 1978, Long before
anyone knew who Paul Reed Smith was. I am unique in that I recommended Paul as
the best guitar made years before he achieved his reputation.
True, I no longer feel that the PRS product is as good a
value as it used to be. Also
true that I no longer feel that the PRS product is the best I have to offer. But
PRS guitars are still a well-made guitar.
However if you want to buy a PRS and you are interested in
the pros and cons I can be of immense help to you. I am an expert on his
original models, I can tell you which years models were made with certain
components and woods. I can be of value to you because I know all the original
real PRS models intimately. I can advise you on the differences between a
McCarty and a Custom 22, I can tell you which ones are keepers and which ones to
stay away from. I have been called a walking encyclopedia on PRS guitars.
The PRS Forum will regularly bash me but that is strictly because I will give
people all of the information. Many of the Idiots on the forum don't like what I
have to say because it directly devalues their personal instrument.
Which of course many of them take as a direct attack on their intelligence.
As I stated I will be able to give you all the important
things to watch out for and all the desirable factors on the early models. I can tell you the year he switched from Brazilian Rosewood
to Indian Rosewood, I can tell you the reasons behind the e
Heel from Hell, I can
advise you on what pickups to choose, and I can tell you all the different
bridge configurations over the years and advise you on the ones that work the
best etc etc.
RARE MODE..... have in stock
many first year PRS guitars, I also have pre productions and prototypes, I even
have one of the Rare Acoustic Flat tops that were made in 1991 (Only 11 made)
PRICE... also have the absolute lowest prices on all the 2006 PRS guitars. If another dealer beats my price on the same PRS guitar I will pay
you double the difference.
SELECTION..... have probably one
of the best selections of pre 1995 PRS guitars in the world. I also have some of
the most unique PRS guitars that you will find anywhere.
SERVICE......I am also unique in
the fact that I can offer custom retops, Inlays, and colors that are available
no where else in the world. I guarantee there is not a PRS in the world that I
can't fix if something goes wrong with it.
PARTS...... I am the only guitar
merchant in the world that carries PRS original parts. I have original necks,
bodies, tremolos, tuners, and over 250 PRS pickups in stock. I even have those
hard to get original sweet switches, 5 way biscuit rotary knobs, Mil Com
Tremolos, and more. My shop is the only shop in the world to my knowledge that
has upgrade aftermarket replacement necks and upgraded custom made bodies.
SETUP......Every
guitar I sell gets a complete and thorough setup and check out before it is
shipped. This is signed off on by Brent or Adrian (Shop Managers)
This company was founded in 1995 with only one
original objective.
After owning Eastcoast Music Mall and being in business for
23 years, selling guitars, keyboards, PA, lighting, drums and other
assorted hogwash. I decided to start a company that specialized entirely in Pre
1995 Paul
Reed Smith Guitars. Of course the company has since blossomed to specialize in
carrying all high end boutique guitars and also to build over 10 different
brands. But the original concept was to carry pre 1995 hand made PRS guitars. I
also sell the newer machine made ones but that of course is for economic
reasons.
