Hey dudes,
I'm thinking long and hard (that's what she said, uh huh, huhhhh), about my next shred guitar purchase. I'm between the ESP Horizon NT-II and a Caparison Dellinger II HGS. No doubt both axes are quality guitars. I've owned a Caparison and Japanese ESP before and can attest to this.
I did not own the Caparison very long. It was an oiled Walnut body that I just couldn't mesh with. I keep telling myself I'm going to stay away from Floyds, but I WOULD like the option as I want to get used to and actually utilize Floyds for what they do best. Little accents and bends ala Evergrey.
Anyway, to the point...
There is a shit ton of debate out there about what the "best" Floyd is. Most say the OFR (which I believe is manufactured by Schaller) is the best, some say all others are crap, some say the Schallers that Caparison are on par with the originals, some say they are crap, etc. etc.
To those that own/have owned Caparisons and OFRs, what would you say? Have the Schallers treated you well?
I plan on installing a tremol-no and brass Floyd block for extra sustain and what not.
James, Dandelium, other Caparison owners, please comment when you have time! There is too much hearsay on the net about these bridges. I'd rather form my opinions from those who have experience with these!
thanks
Joe
