Ed Roman?
He died of a sudden, unexpected heart attack.
He used to be in Connecticut and had a massive guitar collection, and the shop was by appointment only. Then he moved the operation out to Vegas, got some investors to put together a combination guitar museum/ music store. After having set up shop, there was some dispute with the investors and landlord, so they had to shut down the showroom, and move to the outskirts of Vegas where it's again by appoint only, and Internet sales.
The website is barely updated now, I guess Ed was the one managing that, so it's hard to tell how up and running they are. Though you have a Guitar Center in Vegas, Ed Roman was pretty much the only one, in a town full if glitz and glamor, making custom guitars, so he had that whole market to himself, and his company probably still does .
