I was planning on getting a nice new J Custom from Meestursparkle as my next guitar, but now I'm having some second thoughts.... I know Meestursparkle sells Caparisons, but I didn't know you sold them too.

I never realised until just recently just how spectacular those clock inlays are. Awesome work.

Yeah I've been dealing them for about a year now. I don't post them on the forum a lot because most are sold & shipped out before I ever get a chance to list them. However there are a lot of threads from past Caparisons I've got in you can check out if you're curious. I have photo galleries of most models :)

Yeah Meestursparkle is not a dealer, just a dude over in Japan who goes around and buys up dealers' old stock or whatever and puts them on eBay. He's a good seller though, he ships fast and his prices are fair. I purchased an Edwards from him not too long ago and was pleased.

Regarding second thoughts on a J-Custom vs a Caparison, well I'm an Ibanez fan but I think Caparisons sound and play way a lot better personally. I adore my two Dellingers more than any of the 50+ Ibanez I've owned over the years.

Nick's Dellinger MC Aluminum is the most bonerific Caparison I've ever seen, that and yellowv's Chris Ammot model.

Actually that is Nick's too. It gotta a little banged up in shipping so he has it and is getting me a new Cap. Just waiting for Caparison to get the 09's to the US. God damn Fed Ex. Nick has been awesome about it though. I will get a brand new Cap as soon as those guys over in Japan decide to get some out.

I LOVE the Snow Cloud finish.

Since there are no Horus 7's, I'm actually thinking of making one for meself with this somewhat similar Warmoth body:

She´ll be here next week! Can´t wait. Only 8 of them are left. Caparison produced 10 of these in 2007, but two of them already have been used to swap necks with other Horii.
This is the former guitar of one of our board members (zygoat), if I am not mistaken.
It´s been upgraded with a Bareknuckle Nailbomb and a Dimarzio Pro Track pickup.
I can´t wait to have her...two more days. Thanks again S.I. (Mr. Portugal ^^)
