New Caparisons...

[53Crëw]

These look pretty sweet! Caparison is doing a limited run of flame maple tops and maple fretboards. I pefer Ebony myself, but I'd be all over that Dellinger II in the orange color if it had an Ebony F/B.

Pretty cool, but definitely not 3999 AUD cool. I just wish they weren't such a rip off.
For that price you may as well get a local luthier to make you a guitar to your specs and then have easily over 1000 dollars left over.

 

[AllanD]

^ Agreed. I don't think Caparisons are worth anywhere near the price they charge.

 

[motomoto]

+1000

I own a delli , but i find caparisons waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced.
Used gear FTW

And whats with that new line and maple boards.Is it that hard to have an ebony board option?

 

[AHChris]

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM! I have to get a second caparison...

 

[Bekanor]

That trans black Horus is all the 6 string I would ever want.

 

[greyskull]

the engrish is amazing

"we knew that there were many voices which hoped for the guitar of Bolt-on Neck/ Flame Maple Top.
But, an answer to the sound of Flame Maple Body didn't have us. We examined that method."

WTF?

 

[Hawkevil]

Damn them for their leftist views!!

 

[nwright]

doh, wrong guy...haha

 

[Forceps]

Damned, that trans black Horus is sexy!!! Me want!!

 

[slashvanyoung]

Wow.. seeing that blue Dellinger, I never wanted another Caparison more badly.

 

[motomoto]

TBH i wanted to see more caps with figured maple tops, but with the back solid mahogany.
Not maple with mahogany wings.But that's just me

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Yeah, I really can't say I'm crazy about the 3 piece mahog/maple/mahog config, especially since they're not even neck-thru; I guess that's what they were talking about in that hilarious passage greyskull quoted But man alive that black horus is gorgeous

 

[MetalSound]

does anybody else think that these guitars look pretty boring for the price?!??

 

[updog]

I think a maple fretboard makes any guitar look cheap as fuck, as well as ugly as hell. A few of those would look cool if they had ebony fretboards, but they don't. uke: uke:

Wow... couldn't disagree more. Maple boards = instant sex to me.

It's rosewood that'll often make we yawn if it's too bright (visually). It's a serious turn-off on many LTD/Schecter guitars for me.

Actually, now, I'm not always dreaming of neck-thru. I found the access is not always easier on the higher notes, and this is not a guarantee of sustain either. The conception and the choice of the wood still stay the most important factors, I guess that's what they were saying in that google-translated passage

 

[motomoto]

I hate rosewood on guitars.My PRS is rosewood and i try not to look at the fretboard when i play

For me, guitars must have ebony

But for a bass i would choose rosewood or maple(feels better imo )

+1, Ebony or maple, can't stand brown rosewood! (even though both of my guitars have it for their fretboards, budget reigns supreme once again )

 

[FIXXXER]

are there ANY lefthanded caparison models available!?
