Glad to hear everything worked out philka, D said thier painter had a car accident and that theyre running at %50 I hope this doesent cause too much of a delay as mines been pushed back a good few week's, allthough I hope the painters ok...

Ozz

ozzuk, what shape guitar are you getting..?

actually i think the painter is on vacation, he didnt have an accident

__________________

He went on vacation a while ago. I'm sure he is back by now. I hope the dude is ok.

I have an ideal Lets make a E-Get Better Soon card for people at Metaltabs to sign and Email it to Ran.

__________________

Fuck mines ready next week apparently I hope it hasnt been delayed yet again.

__________________

i think we should do a normal card, and send it to each other by post, then finally send it to the Ran guys

And im gonna have enough money for my first payment of my Ran in about 5 weeks, so hopefully building should commenceth then

__________________

Big D sent me the tracking number today....so it shoud be here soon!!

__________________

You mean through snail mail?? That would take aaages. Maybe we could make a card, and have all the signatures signed on a Paint document, so everyone can download it from here, sign it then post it back up again in a BMP file.

__________________

sweet
make sure you make a video of you playing that one aswell

tell us how it plays and sounds

Yea, people start signing there names, then under it put it in print, then under that put what kind of guitar you got. Then we can combine them all and write some big thank you, and get well better type shit. Then send it off.

__________________

I made a card we can E-mail Ran after we all sign it. Just save it to your computer, sign it, and then repost it so others can sign it too.

__________________

I stole that pretty much froma custom jackson don't go stealing it from me

I inverted the colours and changed a few features on it satin neck black binding bevels painted on the top only allthough perhaps black front and rear bevels would have been cool but whatever I cannot wait to see it i'm soo excited....

My next Ran may be more like an axe Iommi would be happy to use except the wrong way round lol...

What would be cool is a Metaltabs guitar.

How cool would that be.

I thought it poitnless to put get well soon on there as its already on the Ecard..

Ozz

did anybody figure out what kind of strings ran uses?

__________________

LaBella.

Yeah they use Labella it says that on the site under options I think...

H8 seemed very impressed with them, he said they still were fresh aftera few week#'s...

Ozz

Speaking of strings im ordering a couple packs of 12-52's cause 11's tuned in D are way to loose. My guitar teacher did some crazy math and said
"I did some quick calculations and in the change from E to D you actually lose about 20 percent of the string's tension, so to match a set of 10s tuned standard you would need a .0115 for your first string in D. A set of 12s tuned to D would be very close to a standard tuned set of 11s for feel"

Im gettin all your sigs for the e-card in, is there anyone else who needs to make one, if not ill make it during my lunch break today and send it off.

...maybe i should wait a little longer.

__________________

I would say get Def to sign it too. I don't think he knows we are doing this.

Edit: Fuck it, make a thread about it. People will see that. We can have it closed as soon as it is done.

hmm.. do we want everyone to see this? i dont want a bunch of non-ran owner/going to be a owner cunts making sigs.

__________________

lol, I don't think it matters. Lots of non owners have given their time to reply about Ran guitars too. I'm sure Mr. Ran Guitar Painter will enjoy it Besides, you got the e-card so you can include who you ever you want.

__________________

I know this question is stupid but why not 24 frets? Just wondering..

__________________

I cant see why not if you're getting a custom, 2 extra frets is always handy, especially if you shred

__________________

fat fingers.

I can reach 22 no worries, but 24, never really used them, and ^fat fingers^.

__________________

After around 3 years with my M-202 I have figured out I arely use the 23rd or 24th frets, however this may change with my RR as the access is much better.

Allthough i'd be happy enough with 22...

Ozz

definitely get the 24 frets man. no reason not to, and youre bound to hit a song where you go "damn, i wish i had that"

__________________

Yes, An extra 2 frets is better then not having them. That and a pickup selelctor.

__________________

yep and a neck pickup

__________________

Can't you install one in yours?

he would have to route a new pickup cavity in his guitar.
and im assuming he doesnt want to do that because it may mess up the finish and because any messups will be blatently visible as his guitar doesnt have pickup rings. and i guess even if he does get the cavity routed cleanly he wont be able to match the finish and cover up the freshy routed cavity.

altho remember, im just assuming

i couldnt have said it any fucking better

__________________

lol

man, i love matt finishes, im not sure if i want matt or a gloss finish on my guitar tho.

i like both equally.

i mite just get two, each one having a different finish

haha yea, there are so many cool finishes, I love satin (matt) finished but i also love gloss maple tops and all that good stuff, I just couldn't see myself playing one.

__________________

yea i get what ya mean

i cant really see myself getting a matt finished ibanez rg shaped ran, i dont think matt finishes and rgs go together that well imo

i would get a matt finish if i was getting a invader shaped guitar or a warlock shaped a guitar

haha matt strat style guitar would be sweet actually

__________________

Yeah i have fat stubby fingers

But i found if i just keep practising and shit, i adapt to my fat, stubby, crooked fingers.

Also why I plan on getting an RG


haha im a mutant

Make sure you check all of 'em out, cuz there's like 3 pages of it. When you click on most of the guitars, a pop-up will come up, and you can click on different pics of the guitar.

sweet man
congrats dude

Haha Hennkiz you're the guy on the Scythes-of-bodom forum. I remember you. Goin for that Alexi style eh?

Yepp RR's do kick ass. I might get a full V next though. By the way someone on that site decided to get 24 extra jumbo frets and scallop 20-24.... wtf is the point of that?

edit - wtf i found some dude with my damn guitar on that site.

oke now for a serious thing.

i wanna sell my ibanez (i know i just got it) its such a fucking piece of shit, from now on ibanez is never gonna deserve me loking at them.

but i say this ran guitar, cruiser i think, not a custom just the standart, howlong will it take to get one shipped to europ??

and another thing, i filled in a custom thingy for a price submition, but i dont know ifit worked howlong does it take before u get the email with the price???

__________________

Anywhere from a few minutes to a day at most. I don't think shipping would be much longer then a week for you in Europe.

hm sounds good, i might think bout a ran then

no way man i just got an Ibanez is it rules

your bridge is just fucked, my ibanez is much better then my jackson

k13m send me your ibanez so you can buy a ran

Got an email back from D, said she'll be shipped on the 16th so im going to make the next deposit at my bank...

Soo fuckin excited this guitar is going to kick ass......

Ozz

sure, gimme 800euros for it, and pay for the shipping and its yours.

What Nez is it most of the cheaper ones are kinda mergh allthough good quality the prestige adn 400 series rock liek mofo's though ii'm probably going to get an S520 for a backp especially as it ahs the ZR trem....

Sent my payment to D earlier this afternoon, it should be with them by the end of next week, hope he sends pics when she's done....

Ozz

Damnit where the hells my RAN? im sure I ordered mine before you

__________________

is it just the bridge you hate or just the guitar?

i think that guitar is pretty good, esp the neck

you guys realize that these are knock offs. the ironbird, the dinky the explorer\destroyer, and the friggin warlock

read the whole thread, this has been gone over 300 times cunt

__________________

Yeah any Schecter C-1 series or Carvin DC series would own these guitars and probably much cheaper. I dont understand why this thread deserves to be a sticky.

I have a little problem now.. I have been thinking that maybe white pinstripes would look cooler than bevels. I already ordered the guitar with bevels but do you guys think that Dariusz would be pissed if I'd ask him to change them?

I would, cause then it would look just like mine but do what you want.

__________________

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Im sick of you cunts who come in hear and post about how this is better than Ran or this thread sucks.

If you dont like it dont post in it fuck ass. We dont want your gay ass posting at this forum anyways. The reason this thread is a sticky is cause its the only non RTT thread with over 2000 posts in it, maybe thats a good reason to sticky it. Plus these are quality guitars, and for anyone who has tried one/owned one would know, I doubt you apply for either. So fuck off shit stick.

__________________

was it that picture i posted up here of that guy on stage?

no man i dont care, i have my dream guitar (atleast 1 out of the couple 100 ha) you should be able to have yours too whichever way you like it, dont feel obligated to not get pinstripes just cause i have them. pinstriped are for pimps only

__________________

The whole point of a forum is to allow people to state their opinions. That was just mine. Im sorry if you get pissed like this for no reason whatsoever. I just made a quick two second comment. I see now why this became a sticky, but i still dont understand why its so popular. I am not saying it isnt popular, obviously it is, but again dont know why.

And the price is much higher than the guitars i have said, and i have played/owned every top of the line guitar out there, and i feel you can get just as good or better quality with Schecter/Carvin and pay much much less, even than these guitars.

I still thinks its stupid how you both^ overreacted. To me you guys looked like fools getting all pissed off just cause i dont like the same guitar as you.

ran's are ok. i've played much better/cheaper though.

__________________

Maybe you've played better guitars, good for you. Schecters can be the best, thats your opinion, i respect that, but coming in here and proclaiming they are better than rans and that they would "own" rans is stupid, your blatently trying to piss people off (which you did) by posting that in a thread devoted to rans. You then went on about how this thread doesnt deserve to be a sticky, sounding like its not worthy because schecters are better. Its not so hard to see why this is stickied. Rans are the cheapest completly custom shop guitar available on the market for their quality.

I had the right to get pissed, the amount of people that fagdance there way into threads without first reading the whole context is numerous. I admit I have done it before.
