This guitar is awesome! Not a big fan of the EMG's but the maple body is really nice looking.

I'd say Terry McInturff...but that isn't it. Pretty though. |

Billy- I don't get it...what's with the white overlay? Is that something you 'PhotoShopped' on to hide builder info? It sure looks ugly in the pics, IMO. Cheers John |

Yes John, it's a light box used in photography! I found the second shot a little unusual but I think the first is nice! It's hard sometimes to get good pix from highly reflective surfaces. Photos are a little dark too for my tastes. Bill you guessed it, it's not Terry McInturff!!

It's gorgeous! I've had the pic for some time, but I wanted to keep it for myself!
Considering I'm not getting a lot of guesses here, it's from Ran Guitars Here's some more noteworthy pix - 
I think the company is in Poland but I haven't heard much about them. |

Oh! I think that Bad Boy red one is scalloped! By the shadows, at least, it looks like it! |

Beautiful guitars. I always thought the Flying V was the coolest guitar in the world, until I tried to play one sitting on my lap ... |

Scalloped between the frets? I've never seen that. What does that do for you? Cool lookin axes. |

quote from the Yngwie.org: By age 15, Yngwie's trademark style had begun to emerge. He worked for a time as a luthier in a guitar repair shop, where he encountered a scalloped neck for the first time when a 17th century lute came into the shop. Intrigued, Yngwie scalloped the neck of an old guitar in similar fashion and was impressed enough with the results to try it on his better guitars. The scalloped fret board was somewhat more difficult to play than a normal neck, but his control over the strings was so improved that Yngwie immediately adopted it as a permanent alteration to his equipment. |

Yea! Scalloping cause a real good grip on the string but a little too much pressure and you'll hear it! Jonh McLaughlin does the same thing for the same reason! John had Wechter build him one with sympathetics and scalloped FB, he fly's with it!
