Hi Styx,
Received my Custom Ran in October, will put up photos and specs when I can stop playing it. I waited a year - but it was so worth it ! Dariusz @ Ran was perfect to deal with - totaly delivered my dream guitar. |

Ran does do great work, but I don't like the fact that I wouldn't be able to see the progress of my axe being built & I don't think I could wait a year either...

ok. I'm waiting for your pics.
Was the setup of your guitar well done (Fret levelling, good action etc.)?
This was my only 'complaint' about mine, the action was too high when i
received it. |

Hi Stealthy,
I know... a year does seem unbearable at times, but for me it gave me time to save up the final balance. Pictures throughout the build would be nice, although I don't think ESP or Jackson offer this service either , especially considering their prices.

Hi Styx,
Thanks for the compliment. The tuners are LSR Precision Tuners, they are self locking with a 40:1 gear ratio. They were made by a company called Intertune, last I heard they were looking for a new manfacturer in China, however the website link is no longer. They are available in the UK from Bailey Guitars (link below), and possibly www.edroman.com in the USA.

I hate to be a down-er here but Ed Roman truly is known as the biggest rip-off artist in the guitar making industry, I wouldn't trust them in any circumstances...

Dude! I love LSR tuners. I used to have a set on my old Jackson. I would have them on all my guitars if they were not so difficult to find and so expensive. Last time I seen them new for sale in the US they were $180 a set!
And yes, as for Mr Ed Roman... Beware.
Nice axe btw.

Anyway, what's up with this Ed Roman-character? I'm intrigued.
