Caparison TAT Special Pics - WOW

[mrp5150]

This thing looks ridiculously sexy and the specs are killer on it. Maple/Walnut neck through, 25.5" scale, mahogany body, flamed top, ebony board, unfinished neck, etc. GAS!!!

 

[gravfed]

Killer!

 

['63-Strat]

That does look nice

 

[yngzaklynch]

WOW!!!

 

[mrp5150]

It also comes in a Trans Black finish...

I love the sponge finishes too, they're some of my favorite finishes ever. It's great to see them putting figured tops on their Super Strat style guitars though.

You know, I REALLY don't need you fueling my damn GAS, fool!

That looks fucking nice.

 

[VoodooChild24]

The first one is a winner!!

Man, if they made a hardtail version, I'd be all over it!

Transblack with 2 humbuckers would be nice. Do they make one like that?

 

[Code001]

Looks amazing. I hate the control layout, although it's not quite as bad as some Jacksons.

 

[Qweklain]

WOW, that is one sexy guitar!! I'd love to try a Caparison some day...

 

[Szar]

I'd buy it.

 

[Copperhead]

It's all good except for the headstock formerly known as Prince.

 

[Szar]

I like the headstock. Don't know why most people don't.

WTF is wrong with guitar makers? Why do they put the volume knob so close to the bridge pick up? I would love to own one, but the volume knob will be in my way. <end of rant>

I agree with this rant.

Also, what is it about these guitars that are better than what is easily available staeside, say a Jackson SL2H?

Caparison has literally two people building guitars now. Itaru Kanno, the company founder, and another guy who has worked with him for years. They only make 30-40 guitars per month, as opposed to companies like Jackson and Ibeenhad who crank out thousands and thousands of guitars every month. In short, the quality is better, the tone is better, the playability is better, etc, etc, etc.
