Caparison 7 Custom

[Pablo]

It looks like it'll be a very cool guitar... However, I wouldn't have opted for that huge inlay (for classy looks I prefer a blank board) and would have gone for a slightly more unique finish than black. If all-out custom was an option, I would have gone for a 25,5" 7-string Horus (I simply love that design).
Still, Caparison make great guitars and I'm sure you'll love it.

For all my brilliant ideas, I really ought to have an endorsement myself... oh wait - that would mean actually playing well enough to impress potential buyers

Cheers

I cant really say because I have an endorsement. Stock Dellinger 7s run $2499.

Wow, so no one likes the inlay? I thought it was cool (its 666 in roman numarls)

Hehhehheh, I thought it was brilliant. Funny how that stream of roman numerals adds up to 666. Even funnier is the Wiki article on the subject.

Shouldn't it be DCXVI, though, according to this research from Oxford University?

(Unless, of course, you regard Irenaeus (the man who originally decided that there should only be 4 gospels) as an unimpeachable authority...)

Iron Maiden have some major reworking to do...

Looks pretty sweet, man? So, are you Peter Joseph? I'm really getting into The Absence lately. Great stuff!

Thats me. Glad you like the music!

Its funny you say that, All my other guitars are custom Horus models in crazy colors. I wanted to make this my one black, simple guitar.

 

[Seedawakener]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH that is the nicest colorscheme ever! Im sorry for my ignorance, but I have never heard of the abscence, you must be pretty big since youre endorsed by them. It must be nice to be endorsed by caparison... I really envy you.

oh and BTW, my bands lyrics are about Christianitys evil things mainly (like witch burning and such) so I really like the idea of 666 in roman letters. probably something I would have done i I had come up with it first. Looks awesome!

 

[Nats]

yeah, that green is badass

 

[technomancer]

The new one looks sweet, and your Horuses are freaking amazing. I love their 'sand' style finishes.

Still don't like their headstocks though...

 

[Seedawakener]

Ok... I know what color my first custom will be... Im in love with that green combined with the maple fretboard!

 

[guitar_player4_2_0]

I really dig it man. Looks awesome! I personally dig the inlay too. So how did you score an endorsement?

 

[Hexer]

I really like it! simple, but good and the inlay is cool too! personally would have chosen something else, but its still cool

My problem with Caparison is the finishes they have, for how expensive they are they might as well be like EBMM and let you chose between like a bajillion colours, all of Caparison's are kinda ugly.

Dont be silly, there is no such thing as a bajillion.









anyway, Dont you like that green finish?! That color but on a see through flamed maple ignitor with a maple fretboard... O... M...F....G... orgasm.

I have never played a Caparison, so I really have no clue what the quality is like. I'm assuming it's great, since Eklundh plays one. They seem to be more about function than form, although the headstock design is unique.

I like the clock inlays, or any large inlay that marks the 3 5 7 9 12 15 17 19 21 24 frets. Dots are boring and hard to see on a dark fretboard. On this guitar, there's an inlay that's aesthetic. I would never be able to play something like that, because it would mess with my position shifts.

A seven always looks better to me than a six.

Yeah, since ESP has such an enormous color selection!

Gosh, I count 1 to 2 finishes each guitar.....even for their "custom" line costing more than nearly any Caparison.

Cool! Where can I get those in the US? Caparisons are available in the US here.

Check mate I like ESPs and Caparisons, but the fanboyism needs to stop

 

[HighGain510]

I really like the look of Caparison guitars! Wish I could try one but they're hard to find locally! Dig your custom too! Plus, KSE is one of my favorite bands so I'm kinda jealous of their gear!
