Well after a brutal Month of 6 wakes in 4 weeks life has finally settled back to a bit of normalcy and I went to go pick up my RM/BS Roller at Maggios where it has been the last Month. When I ordered the RM guitars the AL HH was the one I was waiting on like a kid and I ordered the Roller on a whim when I knew the neck would be right up my alley. Boy was I in for a shock as I will go on a limb and say that it is the Best Ball I own and I own some killer ones. The tone on this guitar is fat,thick and creamy with the best sounding neck pup I ever heard and playability wise it is off the charts as I never felt such ease on bends with the guitar feeling totally normal. When we plugged it in the 8 customers in the store just surrounded it asking a lot of questions, and one of them kept patting me on the back saying it was a 1 in a 1,000 guitar and how I lucked out lol. I know the Roller is probably the guitar we talk about least on the forum but I will go on a limb and say to everyone to check one out as it may be the Best Ball there is. I admit I am PC illiterate lol and never have ever posted a single pic of any of my guitars but we took some pictures in Maggios that Mike is going to post as I want you guys to see this beauty and forget the neck as it is just sick. But forget the looks department as I would rather you guys could hear this as that is where it totally shines but I do not have the equipment though maybe Mike has as I am not sure. If I named my guitars I would call this Tyson, as compared to some other guitar companies it may appear a bit shorter but will knock them dead lol. Check out a Roller!

I know guys it is embarrassing that I do not have a single picture of one guitar on the web lol. To be honest when I went to hang at Maggios I was in the store over 4 hours before I even opened the box to the Roller and the guy who builds amps that was in there that kept saying it was a 1 in a 1,000 guitar said to me "You mean all this time you knew you had this in here and were not dying to check it out" and I was like no I knew I would get to it lol. Jeff the Mike has the pics as it was the camera from the store or I would Email them to you. But I am blown away by this guitar, Mike who has spent his life in the store and may play a guitar for five minutes as hardly anything impresses him since he has played them all must of played it for an hour, and was telling customers that were asking about it that he wants one and that he cant even get one because they were limited lol, as Mike loves the feel of the finish on the RM necks so I went on the forum and showed him the Gold Roller Keith posted from Texas that is Roasted Maple with no Ebony board and he lit up. But the tone on this guitar is sick and I feel like an idiot sounding like a Parrot but when I come across something mind blowing I want my friends to know about it. The only day Mike is off now is Mondays so he should have them up tomorrow.

Glad you found a guitar that you are so struck with. I'm going on a tour through most of the southern States in May, so hopefully I'll get a chance to try a Roller out soon. Haven't seen one up in the North yet. Looking forward to the pics.

I really deserve the abuse being thrown my way lol, I called Mike yesterday and he said he would get them up today as he has been swamped in the store. If they are not up by Sunday I will go get the pics myself and have Jeff walk me through posting them.

Whats up Lenny! I think you should since you teach there pal, lol. I want you to tell my friend the abuse he has raining down on me and I am going to have a fresh nest of squirrels sent to his attic for this one.
