Good lord, so much mis-information!!!
First off, Ed Roman was never an employee of PRS. Ed was an owner of a music shop called East Coast Music Mall in Connecticut back in the 80s. They were one of PRS's first dealers. However, Ed Roman was caught modding guitars and selling them as factory guitars (such as buying Standards and putting maple tops on them and selling them as 10-top Customs); rumors of out-and-out counterfit guitars (most specifically EBMM EVH guitars), etc. He wound up buying unsold parts when BC Rich went bankrupt the first time and finished them but sold them as made by Bernie Rico. PRS dropped East Coast as a dealer until they severed ties with Ed and he moved to Vegas. East Coast finally went out of business about a year ago. Ed has had a vendetta against PRS since then; case in point was that "Heel from Hell" stuff he may still have on his website - Ed put up a photo of a PRS Custom 22 (which has always had a very large neck heel) up next to an old photo of a Custom 24. Snake oil at it's finest - yes, PRS did lenthen the heel of a Custom 24 but only by about 3/16" of an inch; not to the visual difference shown by Ed's photo. I'm not necessarily a PRS fanboy (I play a Collings 290 but admit to having interest in PRS's new SC58 model), but let's set the record straight. Another example of Ed was knocking Terry McInturff for not building him a 24-fret guitar; McInturff told him no so Ed went from McInturffs being the best thing since sliced bread to a "I can't recommend them at all".
Gene Baker made some great guitars; I never have had the pleasure of playing an original Baker. Baker, like many smaller builders, hooked up with Ed as a dealer. He even went so far as to build a few (maybe 10-20) 24-fret versions of the original Baker B1 with a thinner body (basically Roman had Baker build him Baker's version of a PRS Custom). When Baker when bankrupt Roman bought the name and started making these guitars in Korea or China. If you see a 24-fret Baker the odds are it is an import; only 10-20 "real" 24-fret Bakers were made. Gene's current company, B3, is now part of Premier Builders Guild (PBG).
PBG is an ownership/marketing support company for several smaller builders - Baker, Saul Koll, Roger Giffen, Johan Gustavsson, Jason Schroeder, and Dennis Fano. Baker's B3 shop is building specific models for Koll, Giffen, Gustavsonn and Schroeder, and they are milling the bodies and necks for a new Fano model (Alt-de-Fano I believe) but Fano is finishing and assembling them at his shop. Koll, Giffen, Gustavsson, and Schroeder are still building one-offs at their personal shops but they are having a "production" model built by B3 through PBG. I have played a recent PBG B3 and it was very nice; I did prefer the PBG Koll however (I'm not a fan of the Buzz Feiten tuning and also preferred the Koll neck carve to the Baker neck carve).
