V-shapes

What do you find more comfortable, Regular Vs or RR Vs? I am getting a custom Ran soon and I dont know what to pick. Do you think it is worth the extra money for the RR?

for sitting down the RR V.

I also like the look better, but some V's look cool too. As for the money issue, its your money.. you decide.

It will either be a RR with Green Bevels or a V with Green Bevels and the Dimebag Headstock. I will probably go with the RR. Maybe the RR can have a Dime headstock too. It will be under 1500$ so I guess its okay.

Chokehold, Ran will put ANY headstock on your guitar.. even Licensed ones like Gobson, Ibanez, and Fender,

Ran are great in the fact Dariusz will make you a quality custom guitar and he isn't held to copy right laws that US sellers are because he is making it special for you out side the US. I like V and RR guitars both sitting down and standing, but I sit with all guitars in the classical fashion. That makes it very easy with any type V.

Please listen. I took a huge gamble on getting a Ran because I have never bought a guitar without first playing it and I had never talked with anyone that had a Ran, so for the price I could afford to get one and see. I got it and HOLY SHIT it's nice. I had a custom Jackson KV-1 once and it was just as nice as my Ran is today. In the way of price Ran is far better. Take all this as you well but the next guitar I get will be another Ran. I'm sold for life. I told Dariusz that if he ever wanted to open shop in the US he could use my house.

I actually like the RR models. I dislike the gibby flying vee's though, they somehow don't feel right, the RR's are fast as lighting too!

occasionally at practice, especially when writing... sometimes when i'm watching tv... acoustic shit for the bitches, and sometimes when my strap falls off or breaks, i have to either sit down or stand on one foot with my knee for support... i couldnt do that comfortably with a v... i actually don't find them very comfortable when standing either... especially the gibbie's.

I think I'm the only one here that owns a Ran. I had a custom Jackson years ago and it played and sounded just as good as the Ran does today. But the Ran is better balanced and most importently lower priced. I'm getting another next year before something happens and I can't. That or I'm getting a good rack system.

Cool what kind of rack system are you looking at? I like my Marshall JCM 900 but am looking at getting a good pre. I am probably getting an ENGL 530 pre for christmas

So Vs don't work for you then? I wouldn't know what to do with myself if V's were not invented.
