Members dot-dot-dot Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Wow - I'd never seen pictures of the actual shop before. That's a lot of guitars.Though rather a lack of amps to try them through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members book_of_lies777 Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I went to that guy's shop back in 1990(no, it was no where near as big as the above pics) - I wasn't some rich $$$ rock star, so no one would even say 'hello' to me, so I walked out and never went back...

Members 4Kenoath Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Notice there are no seats or leads or ladders or anything to try out a guitar... ...no guitarists either. I think Ed Roman photoshopped the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NoirAbattoir Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 They're cheezy. The Mosrites have rust on their strings. Most of the help is browsing the internet. The leprechaun is squat and bitter. Don't buy anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbluetone Posted June 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'll just have my limo driver pull up front - I'll walk through with a rock start attitude with my Elvis sun glasses on and tell them I really didn't see anything interesting hop back in limo and ride!

Though rather a lack of amps to try them through. There are amps - I tried a Heritage (H150?) Goldtop and a Heritage 'Blues Deluxe' in there. And a Quicksilver. I was also 'lucky' enough to get Ed's world view on guitar brands, retail and the rest of the industry (at some length).He has bad halitosis.

Members TheAtomicJeff Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I met Ed and got to play one of his Quicksilvers at the Dallas Guitar Show. The guitar had loose knobs on it. You'd think he'd bring his best to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Speeddemon Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think the only reason that there are so many guitars there, is because he never gets to SELL anything, due to his attitude.There must be over a couple of million worth of wood, just sitting/hanging there.

Members LongJohnny Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think he is actually one of the biggest sellers of a bunch of brands of guitars. Even that is not a reason he should be a big prick to his customers. We have a shop like that here in the phoenix area, not anywhere as big though. The guy sells very high end guitars, and amps. Anyways, if you ask to play a guitar, you will get looks like you are crazy, if you can find a sales person that isnt surfing the web. I love going in there and ask questions, and correct the sales people as they are trying to blow out their hot air. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phishmarisol Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Ed definitely sells a {censored}load of stuff. One interesting thing I've read about him, and seen the lawsuit to prove it. You want to know why Ed can get you any custom guitar you want? He has guys make them. There is really no telling how many guitars he has sold as Fender, Gibson, PRS, etc. that were just guitars he had made. I wouldn't buy a pack of strings from the asshole.

Members ryanspeer Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I see/hear his name every-so-often, but am ignornt as to what the deal with him is. What's everyone's beef with him? Looks like a candyland for adults, to me . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
