daveq Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Is this the same Jeff Litchfield that we know (search the page - it's down pretty far): Ed Roman's site I didn't know he was a fan of the Quicksilver or Ed (if that was the same Jeff Litchfield)? BTW - is it true that PRS does not bookmatch their tops? I've never looked that closely at one. Is the finish really as bad as it is stated there? I always thought PRS was known for their finishing? I'm so confused. Link to comment
Scott Rosenberger Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) It's the same Jeff Litchfield. he's got a letter in the guestbook at Jet guitars website proclaiming to be a custom guitar builder too What a tool Edited June 24, 2005 by Scott Rosenberger Link to comment
rhoads56 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 yes that is jeff, he was proud of that letter, then claimed he was under duress or some crap when he found out most people hate ed roman.... PRS bookmatch their tops fine. Its people with absolutely ZERO friggin clue that claim PRS doesnt know what they are doing. Carved tops are only every "truelly" bookmatched in the section which isnt carved away. Considering thats the bit under the bridge pickup and bridge, and the bit you see is the bit you CANT EVER POSSIBLY get a perfect bookmatch from (because the book matched original surfaces are carved away), i can kinda see why people listen to eds views on it, but HE IS WRONG.

Gorecki Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I over heard that Perry was going to change is company name to "Litch-Ormsby Custom-Carriebursters", what up with that? (Just couldn't help myself) Link to comment
daveq Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Does anyone know if the pics of his work are still around somewhere? I think most of them are gone from the threads on PG. I really want another look at that V. Seriously - I do. Link to comment

Primal Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Ya know, that page on Ed Roman's site made me decide to send him a letter. If you want to read it, here it is: Subject: Lack of professionalism. Date: 6/24/2005 4:32:11 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: *****@netscape.net To: ed@edromanguitars.com Hello, I am not writing to disparage your opinions on PRS or any other guitar company. The fact of the matter is I really don't know -- my personal forte is with bass guitars. I am writing to address your response to Rick Hammer's letter. I find it distasteful that you felt the need to insult Rick on his spelling and grammatical errors. That fact that you then posted the letter AND your response on your website proves that you are a wholly unprofessional businessman. This unprofessionalism is enough to cause me to avoid any dealings with you or your company. From what I have seen, your business practices are shady and dishonest. I do hope you realize the reputation you have built for yourself, because I assure you it is not a good one. Sincerely, Chris Karnes Edited June 27, 2005 by Scott Rosenberger Link to comment
marksound Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Psst ... (No my email is NOT ed@edromanguitars so please do not send email to that because that is a Dead Box!!) Link to comment
Gemleggat Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Can someone tell me about jeff liltchfield and what all this stuff about him is about? Point me to a post or something. I agree ED roman needs a good kicking, he easy to avoid being in the UK but does make some good points, sometimes. Link to comment
thedoctor Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 That email you sent Ed Roaming is in the trash as we speak. Look a little more on today's posts and you will find a conspiracy in the works by Frank Falbo and others. Frank has a cool idea while he is in the Vegas area that should get Ed good and stirred up but I am considering an addition that might get him bodily throw out of the store and I don't think Frank would mind that, if I read him right.

crafty Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yay! Another Litch-bashing thread! I think that makes 3 this month! Seriously, people. It's getting old. Let the guy fade from existence in our realm. Link to comment

Drak Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 WOD would not even put a single incisor into either one, and WOD is ALL ABOUT death and dead flesh. Sad. Link to comment
M_A_T_T Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Meant to ask this in the other "Jeff Thread", but it got closed..... Jeff contacted me, probably a year ago, with a proposition wanting to know if I'd want to go into business with him. He didn't say exactly what would be entailed, I assumed 'gutar' building, so I promptly replied stating I wasn't interested. I was mainly wondering if he contacted anyone else with the same idea.......? Link to comment
RGGR Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) I had read about Lichfield.....but never seen his site. Those pics are hilarious. http://litchfieldguitars.tripod.com/home/id3.html I know for many a dead-horse.......but for relative newbies like me.......... Edited June 25, 2005 by RGGR Link to comment
