Congrats man!
That setup looks massive.
Could only imagine In the room how it sounds.

Is that a Roman guitar? Through all the craziness and stuff, I always wondered how they played.Chupa.Cabra":1oclbe8y said:

Hey guys I've attached a quick little soft metal clip I just banged out (it may not be your cup of tea) using Cubase SX just to give you a basic idea of what this setup can do. No post EQ, no post effects and no post processing. Just CH3 gain 12 o'clock MC 10 o'clock, deep 1 o'clock pres 10 o'clock. It's all both Herbert's in pure analogue stereo output form recorded with 2 Royer R-121 ribbon mics. I pointed dead center to the dome of two V30s on separate Diezel 4x12 RL cabs and panned hard L/R.

sutepaj, to answer your question, the custom shop Roman Quicksilver and the Centurion both play like "butter" as Neal Schon states about the playability of any great electric guitar.
I used to be a diehard PRS player for years - about 20 or so. All CE 24s with ebony fretboard, wide-thin maple neck and spring floating HFS pups for the most part. Then I was introduced to Ed Roman through a fellow guitarist at that time when I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a new and fourth CE 24 to setup primarily for alternate tunings - drop, open and whatnot.
Once I landed on Ed's massive website I realized that I had to try his custom shop Quicksilver electric. For a little history, Ed worked with Paul for ~30 years designing and creating what we now know as the PRS CE 24/22, SE 22, Carved Archtop, Artist Series, Dragon Series, McCarty Model and Single Cut . . . before branching off to form his own company. This was primarily because Paul back in the mid '90s went nearly 100% CNC. Therefore quality assurance and attention to detail became compromised such that no CNC machine could ever replicate or duplicate what the hands of a skilled master guitar builder can create.
Simple example: A CNC machine has no clue recognizing what a wood knot is on what is designated as a body wood, and to avoid it. Therefore, knowing that wood knots are imperfections from dead branches that drop off healthy, living trees that cause the living wood grain to grow around them.
At the end of the day, the Roman Quicksilver is of much higher caliber than any PRS and puts it to shame. The engineering of the Quicksilver is far and beyond that of any PRS. Once in my hands I immediately noticed the difference in superior overall feel in the tone and body tone woods, bolt-in neck and deep-set-neck tenon (shown below) and coupled with direct mounted pups to achieve maximum resonance and improved sustain. Simply put, the Quicksilver is a PRS on steroids, or a guitarionic [just my little twist :-/].
Attached to this post is the Centurion, Ed's flagship masterpiece. It's a photo of mine that is due for completion by the end of January this month.
Here are few resources that you may find interesting and informative to browse through.
