Ran Custom 8-String Guitar - Crusher

[afteryourburial]

where do you get the led fret markers? and do you have to go through a big process to install?

[fillallone]

good

[EndOfWill]

Sick Ran! I'm looking at getting a custom guitar. How much did they charge for yours (if you dont mind saying) and how long did it take to make?

[Crazymofoinamajikbox]

that....was....badass! But i have a question

I noticed you had Blackouts and i was wondering how they compare to EMG 808s

[IMusHRooMHeaDI]

sounds a lot like Molotov Solution

[Paduddel]

Fucking awesome riff!

[Bear7o7]

the body of your guitar is made of ovangkol ?

[paradoxunseen]

What scales do you run through?

[LowEndStrings]

@paradoxunseen hey. should be E minor.

[theoriginalbensteele]

Need fanned frets on that bad boy.. the top end is way out

[jmhadahorse]

nice RAN man

[gianniswildchild]

how much?

[NecroHial]

Cool stuff man. But may I ask, how much did that cost you?

[Weed69Eyes]

Cool! Love it.

[LowEndStrings]

@Weed69Eyes thank you :)

[MattiaGentileGuitar]

Awesome guitar and playing...

I've got a question, How much did you paid this beauty?

[LowEndStrings]

@MattiaGentileGuitar Thank you, please look at ranguitars. com and ask for pricing :) cheers

[AleksandarTadich]

it's funny how mostly fat people play this kind of bs guitars

[LowEndStrings]

@AleksandarTadich really? i thought your mom was the only one....

[The3rdStrikeIsOnYou]

It sounds like some god awful Deftones bullshit.

[LowEndStrings]

@The3rdStrikeIsOnYou go ahead and play with toy cars ;)

[The3rdStrikeIsOnYou]

@LowEndStrings - Stick to LTD's, they are more suited for your shit playing :)

[LowEndStrings]

@The3rdStrikeIsOnYou yes ;)

[RequiemDead]

@LowEndStrings fuck that dude! that is a sweet piece of machinery and great tones! nice job

[LowEndStrings]

@RequiemDead thanks, really appreciate it!

[MrTimbloo]

been considering a ran for a long tim now , 7 string version of this. Only thing is the waiting list for any custom work you want. Still nice riffs n playing. Very much got that good ol' meshuggah sound to it. \m/

[LowEndStrings]

@MrTimbloo thank you dude. i think it's worth the waiting. dariusz and ran guitars did a really good job :)

cheers

[KARVAKY]

Those LED inlays are really cool.

[LowEndStrings]

@KARVAKY yes, they are :)

[KARVAKY]

@LowEndStrings Are they powered by the Pickup Battery?

[LowEndStrings]

@KARVAKY yes I think. but i don't know. there are 2 batterys.

[lscreamaimfirel]

fuuuuuuuck does the led inlays get in the way of your playing? or are they level with the fretboard?

[godevil1313]

awersome

[vampslayerace]

Simple. Heavy. Badass.

[tasasaki]

日系企業必携lol

[necrofatsas]

i love this!! put it in a song a upload it please!!!!

[lordloligator]

it sings. im happy. end comment

[JacobThebigbadwolf]

Is playing an 8 string more awkward than playing a 6 string?

[RockStarTru]

Спиздил музон у группы Korea((((

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

if you are a true METAL HEAD THEN YOU WOULD PLAY SOME DIO FOR IF DIO DID NOT DO THE SICILIAN DEVIL HORNS WITH HIS HANDS THERE WOULD BE NO HEAVY METAL SO HORNS UP AND HAIL NEIL AND LONG LIVE DIO FOR HE IS GOD OF ALL METAL

[LowEndStrings]

@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 WHY ARE YOU WRITING ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS DO YOU ENJOY IT OR WHY DO YOU FORGET TO USE PUNCTUATION CHARACTERS I AND LIKE TO READ IT AND EVERYBODY THINKS YOU CANT WRITE SO I DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN I LIKE DIO BUT WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I PLAY RIFFS FOR 6 STRING GUITARS ON A 8 STRING GUITAR.

Seriously: Learn how to write please....

[BannanaOfDoom]

Got any advice on aquiring a proper 8 stringed instrumentation?

I am saving up for the RG2228(Only 2 months left, *jizzzzzzz)

But what is best, having some lutherier do the job or just buying a manufactured one, wich one is best in quality, but also economy?

[c4tze]

JAKA FOR THE WIN ALTA!!! fette klampfe! warte gerade auf meine zweite!

[LowEndStrings]

@c4tze JAKA rocken heftig! :D yeah, ich mag mein instrument auch:)

[c4tze]

@LowEndStrings jo sind auch geile teile, auch wenn sie nich mehr so billig sind wie früher, die polen, trotzdem noch die günstigste alternative wenns um 7 oder 8 saiten geht und der hals nich so sein soll wie an ner barbie puppe ^^

[cheesemouth6]

Nice riff man, I love anything thats written on an 8 string :P Got a few questions if thats ok?

Where did you get that neck!?!?! I must have! and did you use a drum machine, if so what kind? Thanx man hope you get to me and Awesome vids :P

[LowEndStrings]

@cheesemouth6 hey well it's a walnut neck. i've got it directly from Ran Guitars. I just used a sampler and some samples, not a drum machine like "Addictive Drums" for example. Cheers

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

can you make up a DIO RIFF

[LowEndStrings]

@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 why should i play a DIO riff on an eight string guitar? i could, but why?

[cisco2fun1]

nice axe!!!! love the lights on the fret board cool... 

[LowEndStrings]

@cisco2fun1 thanks man :)

[Prenner111]

Too slow

[LowEndStrings]

@Prenner111 i think it doesn't have to be fast as hell to be heavy as hell. most technical speed stuff makes me tired. but sure... i'll upload some faster music in future.

[lordloligator]

@Prenner111 just right :)

[camshreds]

@Prenner111 new eden by animals as leaders is slow but once you hear it, you will lose control of your bowels. It's THAT heavy

[metal4me76]

i really really really really love the dry tone of that bottom string. These 8 & 9 string guitars are just insane. That riff/ tune should have gone on for 20 minutes! i went downstairs & learned it on my baritone 6 string which is in A. When i put these new Baritone strings on it again, i'm tuning to F#. That low string just hits me dead in my soul man. That was the shit! THANKS FOR POSTING. That walnut wood has a nice, dark tone. Is the Killtar neck-through? Looks like a smooth heel joint.\m/

[LowEndStrings]

@metal4me76 yeah sounds good. i'm new to 8 string guitars but i love it very much. no, it's not neck-thru. :) hope you'll like my future videos aswell! cheers, dude :)

[OnkelTomAngelripper1]

can i "borrow" this riff bro?

[LowEndStrings]

@OnkelTomAngelripper1 what do you mean with "borrow"? would you like to do another song with it or what? cheers

[OnkelTomAngelripper1]

@LowEndStrings yeah i wanted to do some experimental shit and this would make a perfect intro/outro 

[morganchavis]

very cool guitar and cool video but it looks like your action is super high. is that just the angle of the camera or is it really that way?

[LowEndStrings]

@morganchavis thank you. but what do you mean with "high action" ?

[morganchavis]

@LowEndStrings how high your strings are off of the guitar. It has to do with how your bridge is set and such. every serious player should know that. the higher the action, the harder it is to play typically.

[LowEndStrings]

@morganchavis ah ok. i didn't know what you mean. string heighth and string action seem to be the same, ok.... well i think it only looks like there is much space between the string and the frets. it feels good in my opinion and for my needs. :)

[bubbyj]

@LowEndStrings He means the distance of the string from the fret board.

[metallica5252]

how much was this? 5 grand?

[limewirevampire]

what pickups?

[LowEndStrings]

@limewirevampire seymour duncan blackouts :)

[gnrcr]

Betcha can't afford this.

[RottingLegion]

Some good shit, would love to hear a full song be made out of it!

[LowEndStrings]

@RottingLegion i'll soon do another song. but i think, i'm doing a short song again. at the moment i don't have enough time because i'm writing new songs for my band. cheers dude

[RottingLegion]

@LowEndStrings sweet, I'll check it out when you upload!

[OnkelTomAngelripper1]

nice riffs

[lotsofsalivalol]

killller :D

[Heretic123456]

are there LEDs in the fretboard? :D

[LowEndStrings]

@Heretic123456 yes, there are ;)

[Heretic123456]

@LowEndStrings thats just freaking awesome :D

[JohnDaiko]

[josejalepeno63]

[Vitoldinin]

[Strata6600]

[guitaristguy20]

What size frets did you get?

[quikfingers333]

[alexxdeadly]

You dont deserve this guitar.I suggest you buy a kazoo and learn the essentials on that ya knobhead.

[HeavyMetalHodown]

@alexxdeadly Wow you must be pretty fucking impressive you drooling retard snob. The video is meant to show off the guitar, not his skills. I bet he kicks your ass in guitar AND kazoo, lol.

[MetalSweden]

@alexxdeadly you're such a dumbass......

[LowEndStrings]

@alexxdeadly I'm a passionate musician. You seem to be a passionate asshole. Go, get a life (I doubt YOU deserve it) and don't waste my time.

[fatboyphl]

@LowEndStrings wow that pussy is just jealous you have an 8 string

[secretconstantine]

@LowEndStrings +1 on ur answer on alexx :p great guitar bro,beauty!!

[WhatUGawkinAt]

@alexxdeadly You don't deserve to breathe his oxygen.

[38decembers]

@alexxdeadly But dude if YOUR not in Protest the Hero or Oceano then you don't have any shit better than this on YOUR page so maybe you should keep your thoughts to yourself bro...

[TheSatanicBlasphemy]

Japanische Kampfhörspiele!!!

[LowEndStrings]

[negative1ons]

[Hellscrap3r]

[LowEndStrings]

@Soilwar thank you :)

[BeholdTheAshes]

[LowEndStrings]

@BeholdTheAshes please ask dariusz from ran guitars ;)

[BeholdTheAshes]

@LowEndStrings ok so it cost a fortune, i get it :)

[avetnego]

i like this reef a lot, do you got lyrics for it?

[LowEndStrings]

@avetnego hey. i didn't write any lyrics yet but i think i'm going to use this riff for a solo project, if i can find some more time beside my band's music ;)

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@LowEndStrings Holy shit that guitar sounds better than a Blackmachine 8 String and an Agile 8 string combined, and u get light up frets I think i know what custom 8 string guitar i'm getting now

[LowEndStrings]

@SpartanLaserCanon i bet a blackmachine or agile sound great as well! it's not only a matter of the instrument to get a "good" sound :)

[avetnego]

@LowEndStrings are you ok if i record some stuff to it and send it to you. I'm form Puerto Rico! avetnego@yahoo.com

[LowEndStrings]

@avetnego hey, of course! just let me hear it! would be interesting. do you record vocals or what?

[kurbacc]

after ordering, how long did you have to wait for the guitar?

you have EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups? scale length 28"?

[LowEndStrings]

@kurbacc i waited about 5 months, i think. seymour duncans and 28", yepp...

[westernfilet]

Love that Ran!!!

[DMALXguitar95]

@LowEndStrings Hey dude, love the guitar. What wood is it? The top looks darker than mahogany. Is it Walnut? Wanna get one and wanted something with a darker look. Great Vid! Rock On!

[LowEndStrings]

@DMALXguitar95 hey , yepp. it's amercian walnut. great wood! rock on!

[NightPaddle]

Jetz will ich hier aber auch mal ein paar Covers von Messhugah sehen ;)

[LowEndStrings]

@NightPaddle erst von dir ;)

[KykvPL]

First Ran Crusher video on yt :) nice to see it... I'm still waiting for my 7 string custom one with Eye Poplar top... will get it in October end's.. How do you like Seymour Duncans? I have choose same pickups. What did you use to record your tone? any VST plugins or anything else? Keep recording more tones, we would like to see and hear more from you ;)

[LowEndStrings]

@KykvPL hey dude. i love my seymour duncans. i wanted them becaus i already have 2 guitars with emg's and just wanted to get another sound and feeling in my 8-string :) i just plugged my guitar into my interface and used some cab and amp simulations which can be found for free on the internet. at the moment i'm trying to build up a small home studio, so i can record "real" amp. cheers :)
