anybody know the price range of 7-string rans? A guitar with my specs comes up to 880 - 890E, but how much would the price change if i changed it to a 7 string.

If I were to get my custom RAN rhoads flying v, would it have the red outline on the body like the that one dude on this forum who has that sick rhoads v? Sorry if this has already been asked but I feel sick as a dog today and only used the search function. Cuz I'm filling out the quote form right now and I'm not sure if the white that goes on the outer edge of the v is binding or is just paint for this persons custom RAN:

http://ranguitars.floriandecher.de/custInvader.html

Thanks

I got pinstripes on the body, and binding on the neck. The pinstripes are just white paint.

A new made guitar requires about a year or two before everything sets completely. The first year is critical for the neck. It will even warp or more likely not during that time, but you will HAVE to adjust the truss rod at least once ( I did ), and at the max 3 times, within that year. The wood is new and under stress. That is why they make truss rods. After/within the first year you might have to adjust the truss maybe once a year after and this is if you only use the same string size.

Sounds like the jock that tried to adjust your truss might have been a bit confused and actually completely unscrewed the truss from the nut. If he confused the direction of the truss without checking the clearance on the frets in small adjustment, the fucktard might have very well unscrewed the damn thing. Some truss rods actually tighten in the opposite direction. Just depends on who made it. Big D doesn't make truss rods and a guitar tech should be aware of that fact.

A decent/great tech knows how to look at a guitar and evaluate how to correctly fix the alignment on all levels. A good tech knows how to blame/perhaps fake blame it on the maker or the user. BEWARE!

Keep that in mind. That is why I learned how to fix my own crap years ago. Never trust a tech unless you have worked with them or they let you work with them. KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR GUITAR. That is why most get custom made guitars. To know what just how what/how is being made.

I bet Big D will be your best help because he actually made the guitar.

umm, I'm tired and haven't really read all these posts, but has anyone realised these are all rips of other guitar shapes? Like BC Rich and stuff?

But besides that they look awsome.

You don't have to be so mean about it

What I ment was can they acually do that? Like I thought BC rich would have copyrights to the shape or somthing or do they not copyright shapes and stuff?

Please, no tears. There are not tears at Metaltabs. Look deep within your frozen, dark, nerco, evil, brOOtal, savage, wasteland, Pagan, heart and know I speak the TrOO TrOOth, brother!

We are only welcoming you by flaming you.

Or don't you know?

BTW, copy rights mean shit in other countries. If you pay to get it in the USA then they can't do nothing about it as long as its just custom made for you

Ran Guitars rule! They got a really good finish on ther necks so it´s easy as hell to slide back and forth. On some bads guitar I´ve played that´s always been a problem, the neck being "sticky". I hate that! But that ain´t a problem with Ran Guitars...

OMG! It even has the body shape of a B.C. Rich. It might just be my imagination but it seems most Ran Vs have a body shape more like Jackson Vs. Could be that there are no body bevels or maybe its the paint, not sure.

Either way, awsome guitar

You´re right. I think I´m the only one that got a KKV body shape. They usually do the Jackson/ESP Dave Mustain Vs. They got the shape and size dead on! I got a US Custom BC Rich Tribe and my Ran KKV is exactly the same size and shape.

The money got to them today so the guitar it´s on it´s way! I think it will take 2-3 days but last time Schenker couldn´t find my apartment so I had to get it myself at their office 30 km away... I hope I´ll get it this week.

So what was the actual waiting time for you guys, from sending the deposit, to completion? I know it says 8 months on the website, I was just wondering if that was accurate.

Killer axes by the way! When mine gets done (months of waiting yet) there will be pics posted.

it's actually 5 months, it also depends if you change shit midway through construction, etc etc.

I"m just gonna leave dariusz alone for 5 months and when he asks for his money (very pimp style would be hilarious) I'll just say PIX PLZ and be done with it.

If you posted links to the pictures, then you may get some interest, because someone might like it when they see it?

Then that is the pic you need to send him for the finish, I think. I also think you might want to go with locking tuners with a bone nut. Nothing wrong with locking tuners.

Locking tuners just tighten from the back to stop the post from moving once tightened

Question

I am nearing my 50% deposit, so I'd thought I 'd ask, how did everyone (who has bought one) wire their money to Dariusz??

Did you do it through your own bank, or did you use some kind of money transfer service like Western Union (should they exist in your country)?

And what kind of charges were involved?
