Got this badboy on the way. I'm really diggin' the finish, and hopefully I'll dig the playability aswell! AFAIK, this finish is not available anymore? Anybody know how many of these Red Sunset's were done in 2008?

Looking forward to having a Caparison again, kinda regret selling my Horus :doh:

TAT's are amazing guitars. And yeah, they only did that new Sunset finish last year. The old ones look a lot different.

I know. Looked at the one Pete is selling aswell, but this finish looks alot better, IMO. :)
 
Id Dig that finish alot more if it was in something like a purple/black, Blue/Black, Black/White...anything but red.. Love the finish, not the color

Enjoy!! :thumbsup:

I prefer the old ones myself, but both are an acquired taste. :D

I'd be all over one if they weren't so expensive. :doh:

I want that black one so bad. I would trade my les paul for a Caparison if it was the right situation, but I just don't find many like the ones I would want. I need to just shut up and buy one already.

Their cool but I dont like the stringers in the middle, Id rather that it was all flame. I really like Tommy's TAT, I would just rather have that exact same thing with the colors that I like. That finish/pattern is hot :rock: But I could live with the Trans Black special that you linked... Is it just me or does that body look a little different?

Yeah, the body shape is different. It also has 27 frets, so it's basically a neck through Horus with flame top, I'd say. Hopefully they will see that maple tops are the shit, and release more models with them!

ditto

that one with the purple spots that Pete is selling looks phenomenal. I'm more a fan of brighter reds myself (ala the old sunset finish)
 
I honestly prefer Pete's TAT. If I had the cash that guitar would be in my hands right now!

I though about that one first, but when this one popped up, I didn't blink twice. I've always had a thing for red/orange guitars :D

I had a 2008 TAT II, I probably shouldn't have sold it :lol: :LOL: the build quality was really solid on that guitar, it has a slightly beefier neck than what I'm used to so I ended up not being able to get used to it. Thinking of picking up a natural finish Dellinger II soon though :)

I've not played one of the "new" TAT's, but the old ones have the thinnest necks that Caparison makes. The Dellinger neck is pretty damn thick too, so you may not like that one either.
