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!
