Is there anyone in Vegas I can visit while my wife is at her conference? I will have some free time to check out the local builders. Any suggestions?
Blake

For electrics there used to be Ed Roman's store. He makes his own models. Just take him with a grain of salt, don't take him personally.

I believe Ed Roman passed away in 2011 but his shop still is still going. His shop creates some of the best guitars, both electric and acoustic, to be found anywhere. If you can somehow manage to get a tour it would be well worth the trip.

thanks so much. I will drop an email before I leave and see if they are able to give me a little tour. I can then post my findings on the site for you all to see if there is any interest in that?

Thanks

Blake.
