EMS took a whole 1 day to ship this thing here from Japan, how insane is that? It was shipped on Friday and got here today. Fuck UPS and FedEx. :D

It looks like the guitar is actually signed by ACE (I assume) on the back of the headstock. It doesn't look like a stamp or anything, but I could be wrong?

That one doesn't look too bad. :thumbsup: I like the headstock a lot better on those.

What's the center of the body made of? Or do they paint it black?
 
that fiddle actually has a bit of taste to it

this must be the only caparison with neck through

actually now that I look at it, it looks like a PRS
 
What is the neck shape like on that? Thin and fast like an Ibanez or closer to a Gibson?

It's set neck actually. The only Caparisons that are neck through are the TAT and Orbit.

Much closer to a Gibson. Caparison necks are thick in general, none of them are really that thin. It's not as thick as most Gibsons, but it's nice and chunky.

Oh and did you get the PM I sent you last night?

Why do you think I bought it silly? :D

EDIT: This guitar is Caparisons most expensive model, it sells for almost $4000 new.

Neat Mark. You still have those two other Caparisons around?
