Ed Roman Guitars

Filed under: — jeff @ 4:57 pm

So last week I was in Las Vegas and I visited the showroom of Ed Roman Guitars. What a cool store - they claim to be the biggest guitar store in the world, and I am not about to argue. My best guess is that the showroom is two or three times the size of a Guitar Center, and it is nothing but guitars. Well, they might have some mandolins and Ukes…

but there aren’t any drums or keyboards like at ,Guitar Center. And it felt completely different than Guitar Center - which has always felt chaotic and overly crowded (and certainly it’s always been incredibly LOUD!)

In any case, my visit to Ed Roman Guitars was really pleasant. It can be a bit crazy getting around in Vegas, but the store was really close to the Vegas strip. The cab ride from the Venetian was less than $10. And it was close enough to the strip that we were able to get a return cab ride pretty easily as well.

We got a lot of patient help, and every time I wanted to try a guitar, the person helping us (Scott) pulled it down for us and made sure it was tuned before I started playing. That is a pleasant switch from pretty much any other guitar store I have been in.

  1. Thanks for the info. I’ve never been to Vegas, but now I know one of the first places I’ll go if and when I do go :)

  2. Hi, I just wanted to say that I just love your blog! I just bought my first guitar last week and it has been extremely encouraging reading the experiences of another guitar neophyte.

    Good luck with your future guitar experiences and keep these posts coming!

    Oh, and I really suck at chord transitions!
