A Giant Leap Forward... "The Ergo"
LSR Guitars was started in 1996 by Ed Roman, The original design concept
of these guitars was to offer a beautiful alternative to the Steinberger line of
instruments.
At that time Steinberger had shut down all production
&
closed their doors.
The Ergo model was introduced in June 2008 and it has been extremely
successful as a Guitar and an electric Bass. Small enough to
qualify as a travel guitar but good enough to play Madison Square
Garden or any other major venue.

The first actual model The EB-1 was introduced
in 1997. The EB-1 was originally known as the Edberger, It was
specifically designed and built for an extremely
famous guitarist who shall remain nameless because of his
contractual liabilities to a much larger guitar company.
LSR Guitars, was a guaranteed sure hit because of the association with this
particular Rockstar. He played it openly at several large venue's & concerts.
Sales
were quite brisk because of it. Eventually, he must have been forced to play the
endorsee guitars, he ceased using it publicly. But these guitars
have been a steady seller for 10 years.

Bolero Bass
There have been over
50 Body Styles & shapes
introduced on various LSR guitars & basses.
Ed Roman endeavored to show a number of them on
this website.
Because the guitar design lends itself to
almost any shape Ed has been asked to create these guitars in the
likeness & signature colors of many well known companies.
For example Ed created a guitar that went to
Rick Derringer that had a strong resemblance to a Rickenbacker
360V64. The fact that the guitar was built using the well known
Fire-Glo color really made it appear very much like a headless
Rickenbacker.
Rickenbacker is a company that vigorously
protects all of it's patents and trademarks. They asked us to cease
and desist from manufacturing any more of these guitars. The only
other one was painted black and
Rickenbacker never said anything about that one. The black one went
to Leslie West who uses it quite a bit.

The reason for this short article is to explain
to our potential customers that Ed Roman Guitars has the
capability to make almost anything you want.
It is in our better interest to simply not post
any of these offending shapes on our website. As soon as we
receive a cease & desist letter from any company we generally will
stop production.
But if we simply
don't post it, Then we never get any. cease and desist notices.
Most companies really don't care what anyone
copies or reproduces as long as it's a custom one of a kind. But
they must respond legally to protect themselves from companies who
would mass produce their intellectual property.

LSR went on to build and design a number of original designs and a number
of one of a kind familiar shapes. Some of these familiar shapes happened simply
because a customer might request a "Custom guitar with a body loosely resembling
a Rickenbacker or a "Custom headless guitar shaped like a Kramer. LSR not being
much more than a fairly large custom shop was able to get away with doing things
that a larger company would have been sued for.
After about 600 guitars were built several competing companies had their
attorneys send cease & desist letters requesting that LSR no longer offer
these certain offending models. Leslie West, & Buck Dharma are two of
the original LSR artists. Leslie even wanted to produce the guitars under his
own name which only lasted a short time due to LSR's failure to be able to mass
produce. To this day all LSR Guitars are hand made and there are
almost 70 different designs available as of 2009
