I laughed pretty hard at that.

Guitar looks absolutely gorgeous, enjoy your new axe!

What? isn't that too much even for a walnut/ovankgol 30'' eight stringer? all of my guitars are around 3.5 kg

Btw, congrats on that awesome piece of instrument, I am also waiting for the last month to get mine

I believe they were talking about the case...


Op: congrats, it's a mighty fine looking instrument!

HNGD! I love Ran Crushers absolutely beautiful

Ran is amaizing as usual, but 12 - 24 month build time is really long for a custom built...

that is not a long time for a custom build.

with some builders you can be thankfull if you receive a guitar at all...

That's like the minimum for anyone doing decent in-house open custom work and not like a Suhr style big-team with minimum ala carte options. I think I'm on like year 3 of my Oni 4-5 year build, and I waited 5 years for my Matsuda, 3.5 years for a Ken Lawrence. By all accounts, 12-24 is not a "really long" time.

oh, 5 years its ridiculous (IMO). What they do for a 5 years? Growing the trees for each guitar?

No, they take their time building a long queue of guitars. Both Dan @ Oni and Michi Matsuda were up front in that it would take roughly that long to deliver a guitar. I'm far more annoyed if someone quotes 12 months and takes 18, than if someone quotes 5 years and delivers in precisely that time. Or if someone delivers in 12 months a guitar that they quoted at 12 months, but would realistically take them 18 months to build properly.
