RAN Guitars

Does anyone own or have any information about this guitar company? From the looks of it, these guys can make any kind of guitar you want (lawsuit type shapes included! ), and how you want it to be made (specific woods, construction,etc...). There's very little information about these guys, especially about the pricing, but they look like they do GORGEOUS work!

Edit: They have only a few reviews, but they're all positive. Makes me want a RAN all the more

I'm assuming their stuff is just as good as let's say, the ESP custom shop, but for a lower price.

Oh lordy...

DAMN! Don't show me those...now I have serious gas -again.
That black V without the can-opener BCR headstock, blank ebony board with green or blue LED side dots and Dimarzio D-Sonic 7 would do it for me.
Regardless, you can clearly see the quality is top-notch...

Please be kind to snakes. They can't help it.

Is it safe to say those give me the runs instead of gas? I want to run out and get one, or is that just too disturbing?

I wouldn't mind having that Horizon knock-off in a 7-string version. They look like nice guitars--of course, you can't really know how good they are until you get a chance to play one. A custom order from Ran isn't *that* cheap, anyway.
