all the budding shredders out there - this ones for you! |

Congrats to Chris Vlug from
the Netherlands!!
Chris is the winner of our Randyciak.com modded / Joe
Stump played and signed givaway guitar. Here's what Chris said after
receiving his new axe!
"I
received the guitar a week and a half ago and can't stop playing it :) I
wanted to play for a week or so that get a feel of it and then inform
you. The scalloped fretboard is a new one for and i'm really enjoying
playing solo stuff on. It has really got me inspired to practice even
more (although I unfortunately wasn't able to play much for almost 2
months up until a week or 2 ago due to an injury to my right arm).
I
also really like the overall feel of the neck. It's an awesome rock
guitar. The funny thing is that my cousin is the actual shredder that
visits your website often. His name is Nick Van Kempen and he's an
awesome player and huge fan of Joe Stump. He's the one that signed me up
for the contest (himself as well), so I'm also grateful for him doing
that. I needed the positive boost. Thanx again for the kickass guitar
guys" - Chris Vlug!
Shred on to Chris and all who participated - more cool shit to come -
stay tuned! |

- To all our friends- please be aware that
there are Guitars Popping up on Ebay that are so called
"Randy Ciak" Modified Instruments
- While some may be the real deal - ( Like Dean's Personally owned and
modded real-deal 79 strat that was offered on Ebay) we have
spotted a fake and want our faithful site visitors and customers to
beware. IF there is any question on the authenticity of a particular
instrument that has been modded by us and is being sold -please contact
us via email!
One more thing - the guys prices are so inflated - we would never charge
that much for pup installation, body relicing or a fret job - shame on
you man,,,, |
