I would bid on it, but im afraid it will be artificially inflated by random kse fans. I expect it to sell for 2500 dollars.

That really is a one of a kind custom based off an already hard to get base model (PLM-3). Its worth trying i suppose.

I bet the PLM-3 sells for more than that. Chris Amott's Backup sig went for $3800. KSE is far more popular that Archenemy and CA.

I like how some guy comes along and posts the exact guitar you're looking for after you post on about 300 forums lookin for these things XD

I feel bad and find it hilarious at the same time.... guilty!

well your probably right then, i didnt realize the ca sold for so much. Was it the metallic finished one or the white one? The metallic one i can see going for that much but the plain old white one for 3800 is a bit steep lol (since you can buy them from a dealer).

Hey guys, quick question:

Does anyone know what years (or even if) the Apple Horn was available with black body, clock inlays AND the TT system? I've only seen Mattias play on it in a handful of videos on youtube...


That wasn't ever a model Cap was offering. The TT frets are actually done by a company in Sweden IIRC. Caparison builds the guitar but leaves the fretboard unfretted, ships it over to Sweden where the frets are done, and then it gets shipped back to Caparison. I'm a bit hazy actually, but I think they can also refret an existing neck, and I believe IA has given them some of his guitars that were originally made with regular frets. Or perhaps he had new guitars/new necks made that are from those lines like HGS/Jazz. I've seen the jazz one for sure! So either they are refrets or custom one offs.

Look into the company... it might be possible for them to just refret the Applehorn you want, or alternatively you might be able to specify when ordering from Caparison that you want an HGS/Jazz made w/ TT, as long as they accept and you don't mind the wait.

same, but now that I think about it, its not that cool. Its just a blue one. He should have sold off one of his real customs, like that weird dellinger neck thru thing he had a few years ago before he switched to parkers

Yeah! IIRC it's something like $1000 to get a neck from them or have them do the frets.
