so for the past several weeks, i've been trying to get use to the PRS McC BLE i got from Scott_F .. i love the looks and love the tone, but the feel has been a bit of a struggle ... the neck heel is pretty thick and makes soloing in the upper register pretty difficult for me ... playing in A minor has been really hard and B minor is essentially impossible ...

so i remembered that Ed Roman's site talked about corrections for the 'heel from hell' and figured i'd look into it ... i figured that, if nothing else, i could pick his brain and maybe have a local luthier give an opinion too ...

so i called and talked to the man himself ... i had to stifle a laugh 'cus he is exactly like the stereotype caricature i'd imagine ... pushy, abrasive, condescending, slick, etc .... i have a pretty good BS detector, so i let the 'exterior' roll off me and just focused on the content of our talk ... and ya know, everything he said made sense ... i probed his claims up and down, asked alot of 'what if' questions ... i cut him off a few times when he got on a tangent trying to sell me one of his guitars ... and then got down to brass tacks when it came to price and schedule ... he chuckled and said quot;you from the east coast, or what? ... no one usually talks like this to me .. i like you ... no Bull$h1t ... quot;

so, long story short - my PRS is in the fedex today and will be getting the romanized neck carve mod to eliminate the heel from hell

full report when i get it back

cheers

I´M EAGER TO HEAR FROM YOU
ahahahah
Q

Yeah as far as Ed Roman goes....grow up with a face like that and you're gonna make up for it in other ways....his way of dealing with it is to be a pushy prick. haha. He's cool though, he probably has one of the best guitar shops in the US.

wow, it's TOO FREAKING EARLY OUT HERE IN SLC FOR YOU TO PULL SOME LAMEASS APRIL FOOLS JOKE ON ME AND MY FORMER BABY!

dirtbag, dirty dirtbag....

i think i'm scared for you...sort of?!?!

hope everything goes good!?

Its really hard to know whats up, and whats down, today.

I'm hoping this is an April Fools ... Hoping
Oh and if this is an April Fool's joke this is a winner ... you had me scared witless when I first read it

If you really sent that beautiful PRS to Ed, I'm going to get in the car this weekend and come up to have a chat with you. I can be there in 10-12 hours pal.......

That's fantastic, and it cracks me up! T4D, you've got to tell me how it feels! Are you having it refinished? or having it oiled with the 1500g mod?

say it ain't so, joe!

Best April Fool´s day joke ever

A guitarist near my recently sent his old neck through BC Rich to ed, had him take off the body wings and replace them with ones of a different wood and shape.

The thing is beautiful, best craftsmanship i've ever seen.

Ed might be an @sshole (i don't know, i've never dealt with him), but he does know his stuff and has some good people working for him.

Ed IS a world class luthier, THAT is definitely a fact.



glad you all enjoyed

anyone who keeps a fool going on or after noon is the fool, themself ... so alas, Scott, you may resume normal breathing

I'm surpised he didn't ask if he could screw your wife/girlfriend. I read a post one other time where he asked a customer this
