Hello Everyone:
JerEvil: low serial numbers don't always matter on most import guitars, only special editions and signature models really make a difference.
Ed did that because He is a money grubbing miser (SCROOGE), or some other choice words,
GuitarNed: I have found out a lot thanks to fellow board users and links on the net.
Ed Roman evidently did screw over someone I know with a fake BC Rich Mocking Bird, evidently the guitar was built from left over unfinished parts from the old factory, and when this person I know went to check the serial number with B C Rico (when he was alive) the number was a fake.
see I am leary dealing with con artists, I was in the process of buying a guitar from Ed Roman, but after all of the reviews and comments on the net, I decided to do my research just to be safe.
Well the complaints are more than the nice comments, so I am gonna pass on Jabba the Ed.
take care
George
