yeah, it should be sticky with the popularity. Alright soulinsane...heres what I got figured out now. So you say the Maple to isn't necessary? I'll take your word for it. I was gonna get it red with the black bevels, but Fritz beat me to the punch. So I figure I'll go all BLOOD RED with these bevels
No inlay,and you know the rest already....oh...I'll make sure there are nice pretty pics up here too.

DAriusz gave me a quote for $1190...and thats with inlay so without it should be cheaper. Choosing custom inlay is like choosing a tattoo to me...so who knows.

I've made it sticky and also merged with the previous one.
I don't know who created this myth but vBulletin CAN handle threads with more than 300 posts.
Enjoy

Nice! thanks Nomad!
Phil: inlays can do a great job for your guitar, I was thinking about something like this:
http://www.edromanguitars.com/guita...em10thLarge.jpg
but it would be too flashy on my guitar, I chose a blank ebony fretboard with binding and a custom inlay at the 12th fret with the name of the guitar! |

BLS and H8 will attempt to make banners, cool 
maybe its a good idea to make a list of users and add that to a post on the first page? so potential owners can contact these people? |

i've been watching this thread about ran from the beginning . Ran guitars seem fucking awesome . But I have one question am I the only one who thinks that the Ran logo sucks ? Fuck it looks kinda cheap & childish. Maybe it's just me.... Here's a pic with an ironbird ran |

I have seen a few different Ran logo designs. One looked insanely like an ESP logo. Take your pick. I'm sure you can get what ever one you like.

it's ok i think but the pics of the guitars kinda suck . why didn't you resize them first with a image editing software ? the edges of the guitars are to crispy.

Not bad! I like it. I do feel that for a beta version it's nice but can still be improved a bit more. Perhaps a little rewording and a different font. The concept is great though.

You should be proud. Everyone that gets a Ran will want to post about it here but first they will see your name under the title.
This is a classic story about how the little thread that seemed to have no hope, destined to pass away into the last pages of the Guitar zone, eventually became a sticky. Even after being modified countless times, having parts deleted, parts made into new threads, other threads merged into this one, and even being closed at one time. This thread has been through hell!
Now you should get a Ran too and share your pics  |

yea, i think its time that i put my money where my mouth is and buy a ran instead of the nj ironbird i wanted, my custom guitar would be much like slabbefusk's, with a thunder (ironbird) body and stuff like that. But i can only dream, as i want to sort out wats happenin with my amp first and whether i m gonna have to buy a new one.

surprise surprise.
I use the RG750 for floyd work, I wanted something I could use live without too much hassle. I love tune-o-matics and I never had anything but floyds on all of my guitars through the years. I want MAJOR sustain, with the neckthru mahogany construction and that bridge, it should have a lot of sustain.

I have a question about the necks. How thin are they? Im more of a wizard/wizard 2 person, and i really like compound radius necks, so i was wondering is the neck a big chunker like a 50s les paul or something?

I donīt know if you have seen this page, But is in spanish and has some RAn custom guitar photos.
If you donīt know nothing in Spanish, you must go to menu and then to standard or Galeria custom. Jejejej Its similar in english and in spanish.

yup, it was posted before but it is a kickass webpage with some nice pics, that SG is pretty cool too, but its a bit too vintage looking for me.
Fuck I can't wait for my ran to get here, I'm going to need another beer

Im not too keen on SG's im just sick of the shape, there so common around my area. but otherwise them custom guitars look nice.. the avenger looks very much like a Bc rich warlock, did they copy that? or did they get there first? haha

Ran fan site :-)
Hi Ran friends, 
I decided to open up a "Ran Guitars user- fan- site -thing".
So Everyone who already does own a ran guitar please contact me.
Every photo or pic or whatever is welcome.
Every instrument will get itīs own page, so maybe we will get a great amount of great instruments :-)
The address is http://ranguitars.kicks-ass.org (I didnīt built a site yet, so at the moment there is only my Explorer).
I will ask Dariusz for support, so there possible will be some cool pics from him as well.
What do you think??  |

im actually starting a site soon, so when i get that going we can just make a ran fan page on a subdomain, so it can be like http://ran.whateverdomainnameis.com, then we can upload more pics on there and the connection will be faster
EDIT:just an alternative instead of using some shitty free hosting bullshit, a subdomain on a real webhoster would be better, just an idea

Every instrument will get itīs own page, so maybe we will get a great amount of great instruments :-)
The address is http://ranguitars.kicks-ass.org (I didnīt built a site yet, so at the moment there is only my Explorer).
I will ask Dariusz for support, so there possible will be some cool pics from him as well.
What do you think?? |
great idea, all metaltabs users can showcase their guitars and stories there??
be sure to link metaltabs too! |

Hey guys....how do you think it would look if I had black binding on just the fretboard...because the whole guitar is gonna be blood red....and I am getting bevels that I want to match the body color....it would help if someone had some pics for example.

I figured it would only make the fretboard stand out more.....which will be cool. The body will look awesome any way because of the bevels.

I prefer white binding. That would make it stand out more and make it look purdier.

I agree. Fuck, my favorite shape is the basic super strat shape. When I'm sitting down, I like to rest it on my left leg like I'm playing a V.

Yes Sir, I got black binding on a all satin black Ran guitar with a Ebony fretboard... check the pics!
Sooo black 
The reason I got black binding was because it does look sharper on a black guitar and it fells better IMO. It just seems the frets are set better in a neck with binding so why the hell not get it? On fretboards binding has always felt faster because the fret job has to be done prefect of else you can tell. Plus on Ebony black binding looks better IMO, but it's all option. |

I'm E-5 Navy with just 4 years as of Oct. I'm up for E-6 next SEPT and I'm going to make it even if I try to fail Crazy ass Navy nuke program is advancing me faster than I want. I want to stay E-5 forever. I like it here.
Dariusz will give you the info; account #, route #, and so on. This info is important when you wire the money to his bank. It will cost about $35 to send the money to Ran via bank wire. It's the only way to send money to Ran right now, but it is safe. I and others have used DFX to convert and wire the money. I will give very datailed instructions later once I sober some. I can bearly read the screen right now so I must go
I will be back soon unless others would help our poor Philkill666 get his money to Ran.
If things ever go south with US Customs I can be one of your greatest weapons, though. Remember that.

Def, you mentionned your RAN will have a Kramer 80's Stagemaster body.
Does it look like this body then? With all these "extras", e.g. "cutted" cutaway, potis "placed into" the body,...?
And i've seen some stagemasters with a diagonally placed neck-PU. Will you have that, too? Or will you have a "normal" placed neck-PU?

ran guitars
hey everybody, im new to the site(only registered today), but this thread is the reason ive got my ran!! I started looking ages ago for a quality guitar and was about to give up hope until i got a decapitated cd. i saw that vogg was playing this ran guitar so i thought id check them out. Anyways i found this thread and i was convinced. from what soulinsane was saying they sounded like a genuine company.
my invader should arrive in a couple of days so when it does il post some pics.
here are the specs if anyones interested..
body-invader
headstock-invader
colour-gloss black
one EMG-81 pickup in the bridge
tune-o-matic bridge
ebony fretboard
black fretboard binding
diamond inlays
hard case
as you can see pretty simple but all that my band plays is thrash so it will be the perfect guiatr for that.
If anyone cares my bands website is, www.hecatomb.co.uk |

Hey guys,
Been ready this thread all day and enjoying the pictures. I found out about Ran guitars on the ESP message board and have been talking to Dariusz over the last week and will be finalising my custom with him and placing the deposit next week. It's going to be a Snow White Invader, Left Handed with a reverse jackson headstock. I am so excited. I look forward to hanging out here and keeping you updated and also seeing and hearing about everyone elses Rans!

This can look a bit offtopic, but wasn,t there an program a web page or something similar that help to choose the sahape ob the guitar the colur, etc. Do you know it because i,m thinking about a RAN custom too, (but it depends in selling two of my guitars) and i donīt know exactly which shape which colour, etc i like the slayers hannemanns esp urban camouflage, but i don,t know how will it suit to a invader body. So if you know this program or what the hell is, iīll be glad you you tell me.
And it will help someone else sure.

Nice! another Ran user on metaltabs. we'de like to keep track of ALL noted users on metaltabs and make a database of that so people with questions will know who to talk too.
if it's gear, I can talk for hours about that
Nice colour pic too, I was thinking about getting a white guitar too first but I decided against it. Maybe some other day when I decide to buy another ran... thats not going to be anyday soon though, money doens't grow on my back |

Hi Ran Fans
Hi folks,
I finished up the Ran User Site (actually its not completely finished. there are several tuning ups to com, but the general site is ready).
So please:
I need every possible picture of Rans you can get or you already have.
OR
I need pics of your ran with your specs and your story.
I want to make the collection as big as possible :-) so we donīt need to crawl through the internet over and over again to get a few pics of Rans.
In addition to this, I asked Dariusz for support. I built him an own corner where he can post pictures of past and current projects.
And the best thing is that he did send me the first set of pictures as you will see on the page. :-) (great blue flametoped King V).
Here is the current address:
http://ranguitars.floriandecher.de/
in the future the address will be:
http://ranguitars.kicks-ass.org
The galleries will be modified so that there will be real thumbs of the pics...
PLEASE help me collecting everything we can get.
Any Suggestions? |

Blizzard, I've had a Warlock before and playing it sitting down is totally fine. I'm a bit worried about my Invader as I practice sitting down a lot and if I'm playing standing up I have a guitar quite high up. I love V's so much and really want one, Now I'm getting one I'm just going to have to adapt.
Oh, and you need to make it a Kelly, I was thinking the other day that If I get another Ran (even thou my first one has only just been ordered) then it's going to be a Kelly! So I'd love to see what yours turns out like.
