Everyone who despises Ed Roman would probably love for me to say that his version of the Baker B1 is a piece of junk.  Unfortunately for them this is simply not true.  Roman’s Baker is a great guitar and at a relative value price.

One of the most valuable assets of this guitar is its versatility.  The controls are 2 volume, 1 tone.  Each volume knob is push pull for coil split.  The tone knob is push/pull for phase reverse.  This guitar can sound like almost any guitar on earth.  It is easily as versatile as the Guild Brian May Signature model.
