    IA Eklundh leaves Caparison guitars.

    They are not known outside of Japan although a few people in the US have heard of their basses. An outfit called Zanshin records booked those NAMM tables and represented quite a few Japanese brands trying to break into the US market.

    Recommendations for a first 7 string? What's out there for a Floyded 7 that's not a used Prestige for around $1,500 USD?

    Just around $1500 new but you'll need to pay shipping from Japan. Comes with passives but this guitar along with the slightly more expensive Saki model has a battery compartment already routed for those wanting to switch to actives. https://www.digimart.net/cat01/shop4983/DS04940456/
