I have a copy of his apology to MM somewhere here...
Didn't see this one coming...I really liked the look of his headless guitars and asked him about them and told him I was interested, he basically turned me down from his own product and said I should get a Quicksliver or something like that, he said they were the best guitars in the planet and the price was unbeatable for the features and quality...he quoted me somewhere around $2500

kissmyaxe - I hate to use BP's bandwidth on this, but Ed also owns/produces the Quicksilver line. He wasn't turning you down from his product, just turning you to different one.

I heard this was a hoax actually. It's all over the harmony-central forums too. Why would Las Vegas news (this is clearly las vegas news) be in a port washington, NY paper?
His site mentions nothing about it. He's very outspoken - I wouldn't be surprised if he put a big banner on his disgustingly-designed site about it.

I actually checked his store out a few years ago when I was in Vegas. I always thought it was funny how this guy felt he could improve on every guitar's original design. Such an arrogant guy.
I hope not,because George really had some great moments...
haha yeah George did have some awesome moments

the news from Port Washington NY is from a trade magazine.
Big Poppa I was working for that magazine in Port Washington a few years back, thats why I was at the NAMM show all those years....begging for ads for the mag! I actually met you at every show but im sure you dont remember me, I was the good looking guy playing at your booth when I should have been selling ads on the floor!
Is that why you don't work there anymore?
fogman it was hell, my job was to sell 50,000 dollars worth of ads within a 3 week time frame every month for a magazine that was more expensive than its competitors, and at the NAMM shows my job was to walk around and beg for ads all day up and down the floors while people like BP were selling instruments and having meetings, I was a nat! I hated it, never again - magazine ad sales is a dying business, everything is online now - for the record Brian would talk to me and take my calls (but never placed an ad ) I heard the sales rep after me lasted 3 months -
