Title: When is the Painkiller due?
Post by: Neemo on June 21, 2006, 08:03:23 PM
Title says it all, I thought it was going to be released somewhere during the first half of this year?

I'm ordering a custom shop guitar soon, which is going to be a single pickup V-shape. I hope it will be released in time for my new guitar.

Does anyone know what the Painkiller will be like? Is it going to be a Warpig/Nailbomb thing because thats what it sounds like from the name.

It's going to be a big time NWOBHM/ Judas Priest sounding pickup...think Tipton and Downing!

I'm sending a quote next week, it'll probably cost about 1500-1700 euros.

I actually have a ESP SV :D but I need a "backup" guitar with a decent floyd. It'll be interesting to compare the build quality of the two.

Hey Neemo! I've ordered a custom guitar from a polish guitarbuilder...
There are many more guitarbuilders than Ran in Poland who are supposed to be very good... I have really put an effort to find the best ones, also those who are not as well-known as Ran.
I know a guy who is only into V-type guitars (KKV) he has ordered from Custom shops in USA before, BC Rich Custom is one I think?
He also owns 2 Ran's I think, and his last custom was from a company in Poland called Witkowski.

He said Ran is very good, better than the customs he tried from USA, but he also said now that the one he got from Witkowski was outstanding! The best guitar he ever played with superb building quality... As cheap as Ran too...
Ran has a very long delivery time due to their increasing popularity, also many polish guitarists I've talked to prefer other builders. They seem to think Ran has grown too big now, with some decrease in quality..

So check others out too, it cost nothing to send them a quote? If you like I could list the ones I've found...

I'm open to any custom shops that make quality guitars, so fire away.

Alright, I pull the trigger and shoot...

I ordered from REKGuitars, beccause they gave a very good and professional impression in their answers. I have been in contact with them throughout the building process and they are really interested in making the best guitar possible. They came come up with some VERY nice suggestions of alterations that I've accepted... They take the time to answer everything you ask, and always the same day.
They were not the cheapest, but seemed as the best in my opinion
I should get my guitar within a month...
Another member here, Jappse, has also ordered a PRS-copy from these guys...

OK, list:

www.ranguitars.com (Getting big! Well-reputed, long delivery time)
www.witkowskiguitars.com (Supposed to be one of Polands best)
www.rekguitars.com (see above)
http://www.lootnick.com (well, look in their gallery, they can make guitars!)
http://www.martchguitars.u2.pl/ (Don't know)
http://www.pasguitars.com/ (Also supposed to be good, but they gave me a too expensive price on the shipping, but I'm sure I could have found another shipping company, cheaper than the one they had)
http://www.mayones.com/ (Big, and too expensive compared to the others)
http://nexus-guitars.com/ (Supposed to be one of the best in Poland too)
http://kaniaguitars.com/i2/1ang1.htm (Don't know)
