Guitar of the day...

[CRUE]

[zastruga]

You couldn't have just left that one in the 80's where it belongs?

[Nada]

that is the biggest bottle opener i have ever seen.

[slugworth]

And it had to be an Ed Roman guitar, LOL. Now that he's gone I feel fortunate to have been able to spend a little time with him, although I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the experience.

I've always wondered how guitars like that would respond to truss rod adjustments, or even just climate fluctuation.

[Guild guy]

It's like you have to break the finish line to get to the neck .

[High Gain Junkie]

That's so ugly that it's kinda cool looking, in a weird sort of way.

[blaster]

It looks like a Pterodactyl

[Sirloin]

You can actually see that the frets are like 1/4" (kidding a little here) tall on that thing in the photo. Stringing that axe up with all that crazy string retainer junk on the headstock would be a royal pain in the a$$

[ImmortalSix]

What was the theory behind those connected / loop necks like that?

[lesterchopper]

If the "hand bar" breaks (what are the odds) it looks like an easy enough fix with a sander.

It probably sounds good.

Knowing Ed, he'd have some douchey explanation only fractionally based in truth.

so enlighten us.... I always liked Ed and dealt with him back in the East Coast Music Mall days.... seriously never had a problem with him.... just accepted him for who he was.... any stories or tales?
