I just got a quote... 2500 euros. Too steep for my blood. Granted I did want bindings and a few other options but man that's pricey.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh yeah! 
Gomli: well, noone NEEDs a b-tuned guitar either, or a C or D tuned one for that matter...
also noone ever said F# is the only way to tune an 8. I've seen quite a few people use them to extend their range to the high side instead of the low.
ALSO as always in those things thats solely a matter of personal preference. I've given up about the "noone needs [insert feature here]" a loooooong time ago |

its not like I could name a lot of well-known artists that do, but its definitally been done before quite a few times!
also even high A is not the only alternative to a low F#. for example some people tune in 4th or some other tuning they find usefull or just simply fun to experiment with
even for those who do extend their range to the high or low side its not always simple about having more range but also about having new possibilities as to how to play some stuff or whatever.
for example I've read a post of a guy, ages ago, who always played 6-strings and got a 7 to play around with. he actually DID tune it with a high A. he was more of a "classical" metal player who did a lot of his soloing around the middle area of the neck so the 7 gave him more range to play with without leaving his usual habbits. its all about experimentation and fun. if YOU dont find that fun or usefull then just stay away from it! no problem with that! not at all!
now I, for example, have quite a lot of fun with stuff like that. no problem here either *shrugs*

Hi guys. I was interested to buy RAN custom made guitar and found some pictures in gallery on Ran website... I was reading this RAN guitars thread since yesterday, about 50 pages of 213 now, and cant find the person who ordered this one guitar from RAN:
http://ranguitars.com/gal1.php?z=225
http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/...MadeGuitar1.jpg
Im very interested is that person comes from this forum? and about all specification for this guitar, how long it took from order until guitar was shipped, and first important thing is about the price for that amazing shape etc...? I hope someone can send me a link to read more about this one, and Im sorry if there was anyone already asking about it but as I said before I was reading 50 pages now and cant find anything exactly about this one so it was nice to read everything about... Thanks!
I love RAN guitars too.
Stay Heavy! |

What happens to this forum?
Hi all Ran owners and future owners!
This forum seems to be less used than before: what happens to the RAN brand?
Are there any guys here who ordered a RAN instrument recently?

Well, Ran used to take about 8 weeks when I got mine.

RANs have just become too expensive and the waiting period is too long..

I have to agree that the Ran Guitar company has grown. Considering the quality of their work it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I would still get another Ran if I needed a new custom guitar.
