An exclusive look at The Ed Roman Custom Shop, Las Vegas Nevada

An exclusive look at The Ed Roman Custom Shop, Las Vegas Nevada

“Necessity is the mother of invention”, as quoted by Ed Roman, are among the few reasons that drives him to his level of accomplishments. Watch this exclusive footage, where you’ll get to see Ed’s Custom Shop in Las Vegas Nevada. We’ll walk you through the wood shop, the set-up and staging area, the show room floor and all the nooks & crannies that Ed calls home. Not too many people can run an appointment only guitar business let alone fathom such an idea … but Ed does so with success. With that said, I’m thrilled that I can bring Ed Roman & his Custom Shop directly to those who tune into TheToneKing.com! Enjoy & Rock on.

The most common maintenance is called a set-up. This is basic ‘oil-change’ type maintenance that you want to get done twice a year with the change in seasons. It involves straightening out your neck (Guitars are made of wood. Those necks move whether you play them or not), a restring, and setting your intonation (making sure the thing plays in tune all over the neck). A good shop will offer a fret-file and leveling as well.

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of: TTK interviews Jim Lewis of Strictly 7 Guitars

Initially building only seven-string guitars, Strictly 7 founder Jim Lewis has since expanded his business to include six and eight-string guitars. In 2010, Jim intends to expand his company further by offering basses as well. Recently, TheToneKing.com had a chance to have a sit down with Jim Lewis to discuss Strictly 7 and where he plans to take it from here.

5 Guitar Builders You Need To Know!

At The Tone King, we’re always keeping tabs of the next big thing in the music industry. Sometimes the next big thing comes from a big name like Fender or Gibson, but sometimes it comes from guys who you wouldn’t necessarily recognize walking down the street. We love these guys because they are the guys who are moving against the grain and are in it for the love of the instrument rather than a fat bottom line. TheToneKing.com will keep watching these luthiers closely, hopefully before they get too big and don’t want to talk to us anymore.
