Guest HRB853370 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Has anybody ever visited this site? Big guitar dealer out of Las Vegas. www.edroman.com Click on the link for Blues Deluxe and scroll down about 2/3 the way where he compares his Blues Deluxe model (335 style) to Heritage and Gibson. Seems to be some outright lies publiished there about Heritage!
MacDoggie Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Yep, that's Ed Roman, never without an opinion and doesn't let the truth get in the way...
smurph1 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Yep, that's Ed Roman, never without an opinion and doesn't let the truth get in the way... +1..That's all I'm saying..
cod65 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 just do a search on this forum for full coverage.
Guest mgoetting Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Never met the guy but he is a legend (or whatever). I have played his Prospect. The full center block and Seths were great ideas.
Hfan Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Who manufacturers the guitars for him? The guy has a checkered reputation on the web. BTY, Don't like the headstock.
brentrocks Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ed Roman is a waste of good sperm and stem cells
GuitArtMan Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ed Roman is a waste of good sperm and stem cells What makes you think "good sperm" was involved???
schundog Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Wow, Heritage uses $12 pickups; I didn't know this....
kbp810 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah this guy is something else... if you read through his rants he even contradicts himself left and right throughout. A total DB that will bash any and everyone else that isn't a product in his store
golferwave Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 When Ed was one of the top Heritage dealers he couldn't say enough good things about the folks in Kalamazoo. Then the guys caught wind of his shady dealings and he was the first dealer ever to be fired. Since then he has had an "axe" to grind and can't seem make up enough lies about the brand.
FredZepp Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ha.. as you can see Ed Roman is well known here. His credibility is a bit suspect. He is kind of a used car salesman of guitars. (my apologies to used car salesmen that are honest)
GuitArtMan Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Oh, yea.... and he is also a turd. Just a total douche bag. The guy wanted me to commit insurance fraud. Douche bag.
Guest HRB853370 Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Wow, I didnt realize I stirred up a subject that has, er, been touched upon several times or more on this forum! Just looking at his comments and how he judges other companies says it all. Douche Bag Plus! Yeah, the guy who sold me the 555 I am waiting for, bought a Heritage from him, and one of his "better than PRS" Quicksilver guitars!
Patrick Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 To all: Definition of libel . . . 1. Any written, printed or pictorial statement that damages a person's reputation or exposes a person to ridicule. 2. The act of presenting a libel to the public. More than a few of the posts on this thread could be interpreted as libelous. A word to the wise . . . . be careful of what you post in an open forum.
golferwave Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Libel would also need to be something that was false. While some of the descriptions here would seem to border on being mean spirited, one only needs to read the rants of Ed himself to know that he would have a hard time presenting a case to a jury.

Other users have the right to sue you for defamation if they can prove you damaged their reputation or good name with false information. It would not be the posts here... opinions... that would create a problem. You are allowed to have an opinion and express it.. if you do not knowingly present false information that can be shown to cause a measurable damage. Now... calling Heritage warranty "useless" on a retailers site is a bit more dangerous.

You are allowed to have an opinion and express it.. if you do not knowingly present false information that can be shown to cause a measurable damage. Now... calling Heritage warranty "useless" on a retailers site is a bit more dangerous. The language I've read herein references . . "shady dealings" "questionable credibility" "insurance fraud", and more. This reference to a man . . . and more importantly, his business . . . can be argued to hqave caused damage and/or the perception of calling the man and his business dishonest. Whether or not he could win such a law suit is always open to the interpretation of a judge or a jury . . . and therein lies the problem. All I'm saying is watch what you put in print. Even if he doesn't win such a law suit . . . do you really want to spend thousands in legal fees defending those comments?? It's easier to just be careful of what you put in print . . . which is all I said in the first place. If the man really is a scum bag . . . and if everyone already knows it . . . then there's really no reason to beat that drum any further. I think that we and our friends on Parsons Street are above that.

Gee . . . I don't know golferwave. "border on being mean spirited"??? Turd, douch bag, a waste of good sperm . . . . that's a border with about as much definition as the one separating Mexico and Arizona. I guess it's not a legal concern to cast insults such as those. But, I for one really believe us to be above that. That's just not consistent with the character of the people I met at this past PSPIII event. The most important element in defending against libel, slander or defamation is the absence of malice and or malicious intent. I detected a great deal of sentiment in those post that would probably fall into the malice catagory. I apologize. I didn't mean to take on a holy-er than thou persona. Just offering what I thought would be some good prudent advice to anyone who cared to listen. I'll just mind my own business in the future.
golferwave Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 I'll agree with you Patrick that our friends on Parsons Street are above name calling...which the person of topic here is not. I'll let GuitArtMan tell you of the insurance fraud story if he wishes to... It's a compelling testament to the character of the person of topic here.
Kuz Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Gee . . . I don't know golferwave. "border on being mean spirited"???

(LOL, just kidding)!!!
