NGD! Ran Crusher 6FT

Matchoo93

Picked this up last week!

It's a Ran Crusher 6FT! It's my first Ran, and I absolutely love it. I'd say it's very close in quality to my Mayones Duvell Elite, if not, a tad better.

The neck is great, fretwork is flawless, routing is stupidly clean, and my god that neck joint is tight. Currently getting it set up to my specs and a small change from Vol/Vol to Vol/Tone and it'll be ready to go!

Photos first, then specs!

Gosh, that neck joint is precise!  It looks like it's glued in.

Ive fancied a ran for awhile now.

Be I good to hear your thoughts after the honey moon period.

I'll definitely report back after the honeymoon period, but I can see it still being the same I've got an Aristides 060 on the way too, should be done in a few months
