Thanx dude!

That looks fuckin brutal

The only thing im not too sure I like is the headstock, it kinda looks like the end of an ice-hockey stick.

But its nice for a change from... well, every other V out there.

__________________

The headstock is similar to Kerry King´s ESP KKV. And I play Ice Hockey so...

looks very cool, jeg vil gerne ha det! will they ship to/ make for americans?

Of course he´ll ship to the U.S. He is a hobby builder. He used to build furnitures in the early 80`s. But now he´s a teacher at an university in Guthenburg and got this as an hobby building guitars. But he seems to know what he´s doing...
Send him an email and see what he says...

haha ok, lad oss håber han forstår engelsk...eller du vil oversætte!

Veldig fet gitar, og 18 500 kr er ikke mye heller! Virker som et bra kjøp!

Trodde du var amerikan eftersom du fråga om det skickades till US?? Hade jag fel.? Dansk?

If You compare to BC Rich US Custom it´s half price. I think ESP charge the same for their KKV. Around 4000 USD. Than add taxes, shipping, custom fees and all that You gonna end up with a guitar around 35-40.000 kr. And one year wait. I hate waiting! And not getting sex...

hahaha my danish must be very convincing!jo, jeg er amerikansk, jeg lært nogle dansk for sjvot, det er alle!

LOL!
I see. I don´t speak any danish so I don´t really know how it spells. But it´s similar to swedish so I guessed it was danish. The "jeg vil" instead of "jag vill". You see the connection?? Dansih, swedish and norweigan are the same, just different dialects soft of...
I can usually talk swedish to people from Denmark and Norway and they still understand me and vice versa. Danish can be a bit of a problem if they talk fast...

is it just me, or is the neck like... barely hanging on... and about all that space behind the bridge... awkward.

oh dude, fuck the coffin case, theyre HUGE and theyre fucking cheap. If you dont have a van, you'll have trouble carrying it around. And they look like they've been made in sweat shops... all the interior walls and stuff are just velcrowed in after being coated with glue.


and

banana head + v =

sweet ass guitar dude

i prefere the ran much more tho, i think the shape of the body and headstock is better, the paint job is better, the inlays are better.
so overall the run looks much better.

but im sure that guitar will play great, it still looks good aswell
congrats
btw, you must have money comin out of you ass, 2 custom guitars!

hahaha yeah i know the differences between svensk/norsk/dansk is pretty much spelling and a little pronunciation! and yeah the danes are really bad when it comes to speaking, they always leave out parts of words and stuff like that haha

__________________

Yea, I know. I work as a security guard at Stockholm Airport so I meet people from both Denmark and Norway all the time. Don´t got no problems with people from Norway, I understand them but some danish people... They talk too fast! But they seem to get what I´m saying anyway.

I have to agree. The Ran kicks ass! I hope this guitar will be really nice playing on but it don´t look as cool as the Ran KKV. So my future guitars will be from Ran. Next guitar coming up from Ran is an ESP KKV red crackle copy with Kahler. But that will have to wait until X-mas or so...
I had 3 jobs at the time I ordered these guitars. No I only got 2... So I thought I´d better buy some guitars while I have money, ´cause now I´m poor again. As usual.

Hell yeah them fucking danes sounds like they`re german if you don`t pay attention.

i still cant stand the banana headstock but indeed she's sexy. kinda like a butterface.

Ice-hockey sticks look different from field hockey sticks.

I didnt want to cause any confusion

__________________

But look at the popularity ratio between ice hockey and field hockey though. Plus that doesn't look remotely like a field hockey stick. That'd make for one fucked up headstock.

Ice hockey rules! And V with hockey stick headstock rules!

When I first got into Slayer back in 92-93 Kerry King had his ESP KKV with the banan headstock and I just love that guitar! So that´s why my guitar got that headstock. Ok, 2 out of 4 them got the widow headstock, but...

I couldn't agree with you more.

Thanx bro!

I got it a few hours ago...

It´s awesome! It´s really heavy, both in weight and in tone. Great sustain and really easy and comfortable to play. A little bit thicker neck than the Ran RDV, it´s similar to my US Custom BC Rich KKV´s neck.
Overall a great guitar! I´m pleased!

sweet dude
how does it compare to your ran? which one is betteR?
what differences are there?
congrats bro

It´s hard to say which is the better one. They both good but in different ways. The Ran looks cooler, got a thinner neck. The Swedish/Wallby RDV got a thicker neck but it still feels great (same as my US KKV´s neck), but not as great as the Ran. The Wallby sounds better and got better sustain. It´s ALOT heavier. It´s carved above the Floyd trem so it feels great for my right wrist. The trem is placed a little bit higher than on the Ran, I like that more. The 3-way toggle switch is placed under the bridge pick up on the Wallby so it´s easier to reach, ´cause I often use the neck pick up when I play solos. I gonna use this guitar when we gonna record our album this winter but I think I´ll go with my Ran on more songs when playing live. This is the joy of having more than one guitar. My BC Rich got Kahler, which is cool on some solos and when we do Slayer covers live. The Wallby RDV sounds great with great sustain. The Ran RDV got a lovely neck and looks really cool! I´m also waiting for a 7-string RDV from Ran Guitars; Camo paint and R D WAR inlays, widow headstock, maple neck thru, EMGs. I was told mid november.

rico i guess svensk kroners grow on trees or something?

I got 2 cars! But I´m not what one would call rich. I´m constantly broke due to my need for guitars, and beer... So october won´t be that fun. I hope I can eat the last week before I get my paycheck...

I gonna buy an EQ today so no more beer in october. No more fun... I gotta pay for my 7-string Ran Guitar next month aswell. Than I guess I have to chill with the spending money on gear...

ahaha you gear whore! ill go on MSN sometime, maybe i can hear those guitars in action

We did some recordings with drum machine with our new songs. That was with the Ran Camo RDV. But not with the EQ I bought yesterday. That peace of gear was great by the way! Samson 15 band EQ.

Been trying out the 3 guitars I got at the moment; BC Rich US Custom KKV Tribe, Ran Guitars RDV Custom and my Wallby RDV. And I have to say that the Wallby is the best one.
