Didn't know that they did. Anyone have a Caparison? I've always been an IA fan and think those Apple Horns are cool. Mmmmm... oiled mahogany :agreed:

Here are some pics for you of the Dellinger 7 model. It looks nice, but it's $2499... which of course is utterly ridiculous considering you can get a custom which would blow this out of the water in every aspect. Plus, it's a bolton with a rosewood board, what components are so expensive here?

That is over priced! Is it that expensive because its an import? You could get a custom shop LGM 8 string for less than that.

Wow, that looks like a really nice $1200 RG.

+1 I couldn't see getting one of these, unless you're endorced and could get them for nothing. Basically it's a fan-boy guitar, because certain pro players have them, other people want one. The unique headstock sells them better than the specs do.

From what I understand Caparisons are more in line price-wise with an Ibanez in Europe, so it's just the US 'store' up-charging.

My god I'm gassing for one of these. They really should make a Horus 7 though. :drool:

I want a midnight blue one, just with real pickups in it though.

Thats a damned sexy instrument - is there some reason why its so pricey? Im so used to Lo-pro/edgepro 7s, i dont think i could get down with a FR style trem any more :/

TBH the Through and Through model is probably the best guitar I've ever played, if only it didn't have a trem.

Caparison makes AMAZING stuff, but yeah, it is expensive.

I actually just started liking the headstock a lot, I was watching KsE's "Rose of Sharyn" vid and they look sweet in it, badass song too, super fun to play. My sister banned me from playing it at home because I play the riff each time I pick up a guitar :lol:

Damn if these things weren't so overpriced, I'd already own one, that oiled mahogany is a sweet looking guitar.
But for that kind of money I want my specs, not someone elses.
