Jocke Skog and RAN = Awesome

[TheDude]

I asked RAN guitars if they could build a nice guitar, and they could.

It's 27", but I moved the bridge 2" so the total length is similar to a 25,5" guitar which make the balance just right. Needless to say it's awesome, IMHO.

100+ pictures from the build: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=243598&id=615261537&l=df5d7fd80f

On the pics you can see the Explorer-twin that I got in the process. They're both awesome, but I swapped pickup on the Explorer. The Thor is perfect straight out of the case though.

Just wanted to share the joy.

Fuck yes, I give my whole-hearted approval for these axes. The Explorer rules, and it's a well-known fact that people with black Explorers with only a bridge pickup have huge schlongs (http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/9498056-post14.html).

Special price for me, but 1950€ for "normal" people.

späsjal prajs!!!! Fucking brutal. the length of the neck almost makes it look like a bass guitar.

Holy shit, their rates have gone up quite a bit. I remember when you could get a full-blown custom for about 1400€ :O
