Key Valuation Factors
Brand & Builder: Ed Roman guitars (built in Las Vegas/Connecticut) are well-crafted custom instruments, though they occupy a highly specific niche market with dedicated collectors.
Hardware: Equipped with a licensed Steinberger System bridge and Seymours Duncan humbucker pickups, which adds hardware value.
Condition: Check for neck straightness, functioning truss rod, minimal fret wear, and smooth operation of the tuning/tremolo assembly.
