Overall Rating: I have been playing roughly 6 years on and off but started playing seriously about three years ago...
I don't think I am unhappy with anything on this guitar, I might have prefered a Gotoh Floyd over the Schaller one but it seems fine and well built, and very stable...
If it were stolen it'd probably be easy to track down as it is very unique, and I doubt there are any other guitars like this.
I pretty much see this as my Holy Grail guitar that will be used as my primary axe for most thing's....
I've played more than a few guitars that are considered good ie Gibsons, Fenders, Ibanez's, ESP's Jap ones, I suppose the only guitar I would ever get that could Rival this for me would be a Jem 7V
Maybe a Tremsetter
An allround great axe.....
Features: Made In 2005 In poland by Ran Guitars.
It's a 24 fret shred monster, it's got an alder body maple neck through Snow White finish on body/neck/headstock with black bevels on the front...
It Has a Volume/ Volume/ Tone and 3 way toggle, the pickups are an EMG 81 bridge and 85 neck active set.
It's a RR shape the man knew how to designa good guitar what can I say thats Randy Rhodes for those not in the know...
It's a 25.5 scale, it has a very comfy neck that is not too thin yet not too fat, very rounded....
Schaller Floyd Bridge, and Schaller M series non locking tuners.
Ebony fretboard with black binding and headstock, and mother of pearl Iron crosses...
It's a custom order built to my spec it was better than I imagined.
I took a little bit of time getting used to the Schaller Floyd, but It's fine now, I much prefer the Gotoh Floyd but thats me...
It's lasted well I had it in july its now october, It has two dings which were my fault.
It also came with labella strings which havea coating on them that stops them corroding.
Allround Ran guitars are great and simply cannot be beaten for thier price...
I was more than satisfied with this guitar...
Sound Quality: It's got an 81/85 set great for metal but roll the volume back on the 85 and you can get quite bluesy depending on your amp ofcourse...
It's got a great lead tone and good middle selection.
Overall great for what it's intended but if you want a wider range of sounds go and get some tapable duncans...
Reliability/Durability: I've had this since July 05 it's now October with two scratches however its very solid and seems like a tank for a guitar anyways...
Customer Support: Ran are an excellent company to deal with, and I will be buying more guitars from them in the future...
The main guy Dariusz is very good to deal with....
