Been wanting a Caparison TAT since I picked up a used one last year. But new is so damn expensive and used do not come up for good prices very often. Anyway, got this from Sweetwater, brand new. Got such a good discount and I just sold a few things and had the funds so figured fuckit, now or never. By the date, it looks like it's been at Sweetwater for 2 years so I guess that explains the great discount.

Anyway, on to the porn:

And finally a family shot of notorious 9 siblings.
1 Dellinger (bolt-on, 25.5" scale)
2 TAT's (neck-thru, 25.5" scale)
6 Horus's (bolt-on, 24.75" scale)

Is that front left black one a regular Horus-FX? I've been wanting another Caparison, but the neck angle drives me absolutely nuts. Is it the same neck angle with that hipshot hardtail or is it flat? I can't stand the height of TOM or the Floyd on Caparisons.

What a collection damn.

And yikes theyre pushing custom shop pricing. Fine instruments though, ive only had one and it was great.
 
I saw a satin white TAT on marketplace recently for like 1900. Compared to what I just saw at SW, that’s a fucking steal.

The one that's laying down flat on the ground? That is an FX-AM in charcoal black with no fretboard markers (I added small stickers) and hipshot. They discontinued these in 2018, but they pop up from time to time and usually at good prices.

Yes, the bridge is flat against the body. All the Dellinger and Horus fixed bridges are flat like this against the body. Caparison has their own fixed bridge now but it's very much like the Hipshot.

Wow, yes that is a deal compared to new for sure. That model was just released recently so pretty good drop from new prices. $1900 still a lot of money.

I got a few off Digimart from Japan that were way cheaper. I have bought 3 new over the years but all at good discounts. I don't think I would pay full list prices as much as I love them.
