LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH ED ROMAN GUITARS! :

I wanted to buy another PRS, but was told BAKERS are much, much better. I have heard good things about BAKER, like Robben Ford plays BAKER. I have a PRS so I thought, why not try a BAKER. Salesman told me it has a feel similar to a McCarty PRS. Far from true. SO! I tried to return the guitar and got the run-around. I was told my salesman was "OUT" and to call back. I call back and was told he was now "OUT SICK" I leasve a message for a manager to call back becuase he is also unvailable at this time. After several calls over a 7 day period I finally get a call back from Ed Roman himself who tells me the guitar is not returnable and would not give me a return number, and that if I ship it back, he will refuse it and I will be responsible for shipping cost both ways. Also, that he "TAPES" all his phone conversations. BUYER BEWARE!!!! when you deal with Ed Roman Guitars. I refuse payment with my Credit Card company and before they can put my claim through(less than a month) Ed Roman charges me off to a collections agency. NICE!? HUH!?

the guitar: 2004, Made in Japan or Korea though I was led to believe it was a USA made BAKER. 24 frets, 2 SD Black back humbuckers, PRS Body shape, cheap tuners and hardwear though I was told it would be tone pros. Nice looking finish for what it is, (a $500-$700 guitar, not $1500) maple top matching headstock, but noticeably cheap production like Korean made Ibanes/Schecter/EXP/Cort not USA HAND Made like I was told.

I have been playing for over 20 years. My gear consists of Black Face fender amps from '65 to '67, a Buddah Super Drive 30, a Dr Z Carman Gia combo. For guitars I have several Strats, 1 Tele, PRS McCarty, 2 McNaught Vintage 22's double cutaway, a 1920's Regal resonater wood body, Guild 12-string, and an electric reso. I have never expereienced anything like this with any music store or dealer in my life. I can assure you I will never buy or recomend buying from Ed Roman EVER!!!! If there is any one else that reads this and has had a similar experience, please feel free to contact me. Ed Roman Guitars has several complaints of filed against him with the Better Business Buraeu. All you need to file a class action lawsuit is 7 people. He uses false advertising to sucker in people like you and me. So I would not settle for a Jap?Korean? copy of any kind. Not that those guitars are not good, they serve a purpose for beginer or gig guitars but not for some one that wants a nice USA built guitar. If there is anyone considering a BAKER that Ed Roman is selling, I would recomend getting a Schecter Classic neck through body. It is half the price and twice the guitar.

IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE WITH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH ED ROMAN, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT carbonmade@bellsouth.net . I am trying to get enough people together for a class action lawsuit against ERGuitars for false advertising. Thank you.

Dude that sucks! If you can't get your money back, find the guy, and give him a good smack upside the head!

People like that annoy me. Why do people insist on ripping people off like that?

most definately search the web for bad situations with ed roman, he's one huge picklehead. also jpeople at harmony-central have posted bad experiences with him, they might have left emails. so you can try to contact them.

i personally wouldn't shop at or around him, even though i like looking at his website, bastid has a nice collection even though he will burn at the stake one day.

Ed Roman is the most notorious douche bag in the guitar business. Luckily I was forewarned and never got into an Ed Roman butt rapin'. There's plenty of websites featuring the horror stories of people dealing with that smeg-head. Sorry....
