High quality photos available all models. HSS models available as well. I'm always happy to discuss in detail the features and differences for each model if anyone is torn. All guitars come with a free pro setup with the strings/tuning of their choice, case, warranty, and free shipping. I can also offer discounts on pickup installs too (BKP, DiMarzio, EMG, etc). Pre-orders on certain models are recommended due to very low supply and high-demand. Loyalty discounts for past customers available as well

I'll update this thread going forward with pics, videos, pricing, special deals, information on new models, etc. Thanks for looking!

Hey, Nick, is this list still current?

Oh, actually no it's not. What are you looking for? I just ordered some new stuff.

 

[Malacoda]

Oh, actually no it's not. What are you looking for? I just ordered some new stuff.

TAT II in any color, preferably Frozen Sky or Crimson. Are you expecting any used stuff? I'd like to go used to save the cash, but I'm just dying to pick up my first Cap (I'm basically living over at the Cap Forum) and I'm closing up a deal on my Xiphos 7, so I should have enough by now.

EDIT I actually just checked and saw that you have a Dark Night on the coming soon list, is that accurate? Because I'd kill for that one, just thought they were all gone.

No used ones but I have a couple on closeout, such as a Horus HGS EF Pro.Black and Dellinger 7. TATs are sold out except for the expensive TAT specials. Regular TATs wont be shipping again until March if you wanted to reserve one.

Cool, thanks. Are there going to be any Sevenstring.org/Cap Forum only price drops ?

Not really, I'm getting raped on these more than any other brand I carry thanks to the USD/JPY exchange rate and high import costs. I'm offering sweet discounts on the few I have left in stock, but for stuff that's coming in I can't really budge much.

I can ship free and take a little off but nothing too drastic Obviously if you were willing to pre-order something I may be able to give you a deal.

Makes sense. I'll decide if I want to pre-order one from you or if I want to keep looking for a used one and let you know via PM. Also, I would probably have whatever I bought directly shipped to Budd for mods, I'm not sure if that affects anything.

They don't really need mods man. Budd is a good guy but that whole thing is pretty much a gimmick IMO. The Caparisons are amazing in their stock form, apart from the pickups for the most part. The fretwork, Schaller, etc are all perfect 99.9% of the time.

Then again if you want me to send the guitar to him, that's fine, but I wouldn't want you to waste money on unnecessary stuff. Especially since most of what he could do, my tech could do.

Really, ok then, that sounds good. Do you guys do BKP upgrades? I'm thinking about a set of Warpigs.

 

[Wolfenstein]

theres been a massive price hike in the UK of cappy's (over 25% on some models) is this an international thing or is the uk consumer being savagely raped again?

Let me clarify: Budd is a good tech who provides good services. I have nothing but respect for him, but it's really nothing you couldn't get from any good tech. Stock Caparisons I don't think need any tech work is my point, they're usually setup perfectly from the factory. I just don't like the stock pickups on most models (exceptions: Dellinger MC + Angelus TR).

Yes I can certainly do the BKP upgrades for you. I'm the #1 BKP dealer on the continent, so it's something I do all the time for my customers (Caparison or otherwise).

I can probably help you. Do you have models in mind you're interested in?

Can someone please hand me a towel and a cigarette?

That looks awesome. I am SOOOO glad you don't have any pics of that as a 7-string to tempt me into even more GAS.

Thanks for sharing, dude.

Haha, glad you liked it. Sadly they don't make that in a 7-string. They only make the Dellinger 7 and that's it. A TAT7 would be sweet.
