Quote:Any of you guitar gurus visit ed romans guitars on the web? There are some beauties on his site. Theres also quite a bit of knowledge about how to pick out a guitar. It's a fun site if ya wanna check it out. Hi Scott,I used to visit that site often - lots of eye-candy I eventually commissioned one of Ed Roman's Quicksilvers. It's a great guitar and very unique. Send me a PM if you want more in-depth info.-Allen

Thanks Steve. I've been working on setting up a new Mac with ProTools and my head blew up, so, I've been recovering.Allen, I went back and reread page 1. I had missed your post with the quicksilver pic. It looks tasty. I wanted to get one myself, but I like to play a guitar first before I buy, and since Ed is in Vegas.... ROADTRIP! No, I bought a nice PRS here. It sounds great, but I bet for the same price I could've bought a Quicksilver.I was one of those guys that started playing guitar because ... it might help me pick up Chits...er...Chicks. I wish I had really applied myself a bit more. Who knows where that could have led. Oh well, I still can play pretty decently, I just got to keep on keeping on. It's never too late to learn more.

It sounds great, but I bet for the same price I could've bought a Quicksilver.My only regret with my particular Ed Roman Quicksilver is that its long neck is not stable enough to support a super low-action buzz-free setup. The huge heal from Hell on a PRS may help in that regard. I prefer the looks of a Quicksilver over a PRS. The sleeker Quicksilver shape has been referred to as "a PRS in italics". -Allen

Here is a pretty good site for listening to some now obscure guitar players. First time I ever heard Thumbs Carlisle, though I had heard a lot about him.I have still never heard Buster B. Jones.Have fun.http://www.geocities.com/bighollowtwang/Hall.html

Buster does a lot of courses on various picking styles at guitarvideos.com (Stefan Grossman's site). You can see video clips there, if they'll play on your dino computer.

hey guys,I will get my guitar-to-midi system at the end of the week (axon ax 50 usb) - I'm really curious if it works for me in the way I hope.

[horacejesse]

I am curious too, Gitar. Let us know about it.

Here's my 2 cents on the guitar thread...Long story as short as possible:I'm a huge fan of Sidney Crosby, who plays for my team the Pittsburgh Penguins. His Junior Team was the Rimouski Oceanic, which uses blues/white for color. Since my guitar was a dark blue, this made sense for the scheme.I work in a sign shop as a designer, and we cut vinyl using plotter and computer. I designed this layout (could have done more but was in hurry) and applied it to my guitar, then clear coated it. Makes it custom, since I can't afford paint jobs.Its an ESP baritone Viper...and I get bored pretty easy.

Very nice. Love it.I had a fender strat once that had a collage of playboy playmates covering its entire body front and back. Rventually I put it on consignment with a local music store. The store told me David Grissom bought it for his then teenage son.
