More Caparison weirdness

[Hawksmoor]

27 fret V Orbit Model

What I wouldn't give to get my hands around this brand.
The only ones I've played were Mathias IA Ekhlunds' guitars at Freak Guitar Camp last year and I liked the way they felt.

It's waaaaay better than that fugly "violon" one
27 frets for a V? Anytime.

It looks realy weird, it's not for me, I think I wouldn't feel comfortable with it. Must be good thought.

 

[Stitch]

I think it is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen from Caparison. they really need to buck up; the older stuff was much nicer.

Its a shame because I'm willing to bet it plays like a bloody peach, these really are that good.

 

[Hawksmoor]

Well, ther's always these babies:

Or these, rather nice color for an Apple Horn

 

[Stitch]

The first one is nice. I think Caparison needs to leave the V idea alone, and stick with what they do best, Horus', Angelus', Dellinger's, Applehorns, hell, even the old PBM-3 or whatever it was called that Adam D uses. That was a nice, practical signature model.
The violin shapes, assymetrical V's, and taht awful signature V for whoever it was (can't remember the name of them) are all abominations...











...IMO.

I'm really not digging the V at all.

I agree with stitch, they need to stick with the Angelus, Horus, Dellingers. Some of the Caparison colours are great.

27 frets on a V...yes please

It could do with a different headstock though imo. That shape doesn't really go well with a V.

Am I the only one that loves the way that looks? Supreme upper fret access (y)

This isn't MSN



I agree though.

 

[Kagami]

I think having the inside of the top wing be straight is what makes it look weird, well...it would look more normal if it were also curved.

 

[Battousai]

i dont know whats so fugly about it i think its damn gorgeous.. id love to get a hold of one of those caparisons man they seem to be the ESP guitars when they came out in the 80's and early nineties

Probably plays nice, but it's not my cup of tea. I do like the Applehorn, though.

 

[Rick]

I kinda like it, actually.

Me too, I want one, maybe I have to steal one from Matthias.

 

[HamBungler]

I dunno, I really like it actually. It screams "Whoosh!" to me. So maybe you can fly on it?
