yep, I'm like that, too. though I did it for longer than 6 months lol
what I think is really cool about RAN is that they'll also build you completely custom-shaped guitars without doubling the price or something.
my first quote was for an Invader model, than I got the idea of custom-shaping, did a scetch and sent it to Dariusz asking if he could do that and what the additional price would be (I expected it to pretty damn fucking expensive and me ending up with a "standard"-shape anyway). his answer was like "no problem, that shape would be 110€ more than the Invader"
I was like:
and I'm definitally aiming for a custom-shape now
again: the custom-quote on the RAN-hp is only a kind of guideline, they'll pretty much build you whatever you want.
