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.

It involves straightening out your neck (Guitars are made of wood.

A good shop will offer a fret-file and leveling as well.
