Usually i look over these things and go "ugh, another ibanez" or something like that. This is an awesome looking guitar. I love the top wood and i love the finish. Congrats.
ok, so guitar is finished perfectly, I can't see any flaws. wood used for build was about 10 years seasoned/dryed, Swamp Ash American, and Eye Poplar comes from Poland. Plate cover at the back of the body is made from Black Ebony. Guitar without amp plays loud and you can feel it, great sustain, that wood isn't cheap piece of shit Frets are done PER fucking FECT. They are NOT SHARP at the edges. They are not stainless steel, they are Dunlop 18% Nickel and they are really ok for me. Ovangkol oil finish is very smooth and fast, even if I can't play fast Also Ebony Macassar is very smooth feel. body is 4 layers laquer coating if I good remeber
I need to change strings for little thicker and set it up for my needs, now there is Daddario EXL120-7 because I told RAN to put that strings on. I have no audio interface to record samples, but in a couple of weeks I will try to buy one, or get a HD webcam.
thanks for looking at this thread, if you have any questions ask me
I forgot to say, GO WITH POPLAR if you have a chance, it's awesome looking wood, my next custom will have it on top as well
Very classy looking instrument! Great choice of unique woods too. I remember looking at the RAN website years ago, they didn't have anything even close to approaching this level of craftsmanship - great to see the brand progress so far!
