Ran KV Custom

[chrisolson]

looks good, that TOM set up kills it

Meh... Why? TOM's are great bridges - millions of Les Pauls can't be wrong!

[Coyote]

Original plan vs. the guitar:

I like the first on better But that's just me I don't know what any one els thinks about it but I don't like the other as much sorry.


Rock on for Life.

Killer inlay work. I can't see any filler. Your headstock logo looks far better than the stock version. The tune-o-matic was a great choice sonically. Congrats!

Looks like a Jackson, but it ain't a Jackson. It's like having a Les Paul made by Fender. Sorry to say this but altough you are right in terms of your needs, like, you needed a stop bar and a single humbucker, but, being honest, a Jackson looks better IMO, I mean, starting from the logo, the sharkfin inlays, etc. It's up to taste, congrats if it works for you, but for me I prefer this:

I wanted stop-tailpiece...I prefer it. Now I have KV-2 with Floyd, KV Pro with Kahler and KV with stop tailpiece.

hell yeah they are, one of the best bridge designs out there, i love it on my explorer, but on a jackson much less a KV

do ya really have to shit on the guy's new guitar thread like that?
it's totally unnecessary.
who cares if it isn't what you'd want, it's what he wanted and he likes it.

what happened to the "if you don't have anything positive to say, keep your mouth shut" concept of common sense?

seriously... .that was a douche bag thing to do. rest of the guitar looks awesome, just the TOM set-up up, but like i said looks hot.

Okay, so this is your second ambiguous post about them. Either write in complete sentences or tell me:

YOU LIKE IT ON THE V

or

YOU DO NOT LIKE IT ON THE V

Read your posts - "The TOM kills it" - what does that mean exactly? ""but on a Jackson much less a KV" - ???

Seems to be a FNG problem for the most part - at least to the point where they aren't even sarcastic about it...

[Sukisyn]

Yeah ... he did seem to come off as being a little hard/arrogant with the comment about the guys guitar. And this is coming form the guy that is having a Rico Jr. KV being built? Not that I am putting down Rico Jr. guitars I am just saying that one should not put down a KV that is not a Jackson while he is having a non-Jackson KV being built.

I thought tha Ran looked great and I hope that it plays as well as it looks.

[chrisolson]

That axe looks KILLER!! I'd choose it over Jackson simply for the bridge.

Nice guitar.Enjoy it..........................

Beautiful guitar! As always Daruisz does fabulous work, I can't wait for mine.

Your Jackson looks amazing....I have sharkfin inlays on my KV-2 and KV Pro so I don't want three guitars with sharkfin inlays...I've always wanted Iron Crosses for my guitar.

I'm pretty sure this Ran KV looks almost the same if I would have ordered the guitar from Jackson Custom Shop with the same specs...logo is just different. All the materials are the same as Jacksons...but the price is much more lower

Here's the picture with better quality:

Couldn't tell much from the smaller pic, but judging by the larger high res pic... WOW! Looks good.


How much did they raise their prices? If I order a custom, it'll probably be from Ran.
