Shane (the guy who runs BMusic in Australia, and the Caparison forum) should be getting one of those in stock pretty soon. He always takes a ton of awesome hi-res pics of all the guitars he sells, so that won't help your GAS at all.

Not sure what the UK dealers charge for Caparisons. The TAT is $2400 shipped with a case from Guitar Asylum, but only about $1800 from Ishibashi in Japan.

Well im not paying 2400 thats for sure. Il probably end up buying it from Ishibashi.... that or il end up spending my cash on a standard Dellinger II before then

You win either way! I know you play in E tuning, so I would actually suggest the TAT for you. I've never played a better sounding guitar in E tuning than the TAT I had, it was just awesome. I prefer the mahogany body Dellingers and such for B tuning though, but you never use that!

Yeah, mahogany is awesome, I usually don't like alder...but man, the TAT sounds fucking great.

Hmm im kinda leaning towards the Dellinger II due to the mahogany...

I just love mahogany guitars and i have owned some alder guitars, which i didnt like as much as mahogany. I think theres some low mid that the mahogany gives off tonally or something... almost feels like theres a low mid punch switch turned on or something.. if you get me?

That is the best finish I've seen yet on a Caparison next to the Amott signature you owned. Don't change a thing!
