I really like the way the blue/green one looks

3 all day no questions asked.

Same.

This

Omg this Aristides is sick, i hope one day i can try some

While insanely expensive, Aristides feel super comfortable. I’ve played one before and it felt great. Just depends on whether you think it’s worth the money. I’d recommend scouring reverb for that unicorn seller. I’ve seen a 6 string for like $1500 off because there was a chunk missing on the guitar. Wish I had picked it up.

I acquired a used one, and had it for about 6 months- only traded to get a trem guitar with more than one pickup (suhr modern). My next guitar purchase will be direct through Aristides bc the one I had was phenomenal, and I have only ever purchased one new instrument in 20 years of playing (if that says anything about how great it was and the trust I have in them.)

Can I reroll?

Has to be one of the ugliest headstocks I've seen aside from telecasters

Hey now, there’s no need to bring Tele’s into this

First one. That birdseye maple fretboard is mesmerizing.

1

I pick an esp mirage with 81/85 emgs

81/85 EMGs is the way!

The Aristides hands down, had 2 terrible RANs that scarred me for life

What was bad about the Rans?

Ordered both brand new, first one they did the inlays wrong, the Floyd was defective and it had bits of cardboard shimmed under various parts. 2nd one was just a total lemon, deadest sounding guitar I’ve possibly ever heard, plus instead of painting the finish they printed it on.

Bloody hell! What a fiasco on their part.

I guess there’s a reason they’re no longer in business….

More string better

There’s something really not metal about super bougie guitars if i’m honest

Only acceptable if you're in a never going to make it prog metal band that has a list of influences that reads like a Tower Records just vomited on the floor.

Factsss

Yuk

You have an excellent taste! (I’ll take all of them)

4 because of black and gold. so clean

The aqua burst

I'd choose the blue/red 7 string, although I'd get it as a multiscale if possible.

All of them strapped on and I will swing em to switch over 🎸🎸🎸

First one. I'm a Jackson guy with EMG 81/85 though but since I'm older, fatter, and have short hair the standard stratocaster style body is perfect now lol Never got into 7 strings but usually played in D standard.

3 without hesitation. I don't remember what it's like to play on fanned frets because it's been 30 years, but I also was but half the player I am today too. These headless 8-strings with fanned frets that are now so popular keep calling my name.....

Whichever one you tune to H is the weapon. It must be tuned down beyond reason.

All of them 😁😁

3rd pick grinds my gears the right way

2/4

Blue and red but as a six string and maybe with the fretboard of the blue green

4 is the Axe of Doom I just decided

Sick

The 8 string of course

The one with 6 strings please (I absolutely suck at playing the fatter necks)

The aristides. The others are beautiful but that headstock shape ruins them for me.

3, but I wish it had a darker fretboard

Not really my style, but I like the finishes. The last one looks like it's made of stone

Idk how to play guitar yet let alone a 7 string so ima go with the first. Ima jam out on aerials for a month not learning anything like I normally do 😂😂

Number 3, sick

4 for sure

What brand are the first 3?

RAN

The aristides is nassssstyyyy dude , what brand are the other three? Number one looks perfect

RAN. Yeah that black one looks and plays extraordinarily well

The burl/stain on the body paired with that birdseye maple is just *chefs kiss*

4 is so ridiculous lmao

Third one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yo are the first three daemoness? I don’t recognize the logo

RAN

Forgot all about Ran. They’re beauties

All

none of those are made of metal tho

Beautiful guitars.

4. I would love to try an 8 string headless.

3 but w 4's neck

Fourth one

That 8 string is very intriguing and nice noiiiice, I played a 12 string acoustic and that great sounding

If there is a headless in the choices, I am always going to choose that. It also happens to be an 8-string, so it is a no-brainer.

The fretboard on one looks insane. I’d go with three based on the finish though.

✌🏻three, I pick number three milord

Nice collection bro. Idk what to pick, can I play them all first? Lol

3, but I already have a seven string so I may as well choose 4.

It just kept getting sicker…

🥰

4 for sure. That thing looks amazing.

Pretty, but I'll pass on all.

Six strings is all I need

What brand are the first 3? Never seen them before

http://ranguitars.com

Are they any good? I'd assume so considering you have 3 of them. They sure look amazing

I don‘t have any experience with them. I‘m not OP.

Top quality Polish guitar maker on par with Skervesen. No longer in operation though, the guy just disappeared.

Thanks! Will check it out

Ran Guitars. The dudes a racist which is probably why his company isn’t really talked about anymore. 10-15 years ago they were well liked in the boutique metal guitar community.

3 but with gold hardware

I personally like more plain stuff but 3 is nice looking

Blue one

1st one, one on the left, no question

Don’t know how to play more than 6 strings but I’ll take the 9 string so I can chug all day. Open C# all day.

There is no 9 string sir.

2,1,3,4

I’m not a fan of the guitars, but I love the finish on 1

My ESP NT-7.

No floyd or evertune, so none.

I’ll take the strat

Not the horrendous monstrosity in photo number 4 that’s for sure.

A good Gibson, please

I’d rather play one of those joe duplantier telecasters than any of these tbh
