NGD: Caparison Horus w/maple fretboard

[mrp5150]

Fresh from the land of the rising sun...

But which Caparison could it be?

I think that clears things up!

I can't take any outdoor pics right now since the ground is covered in snow at the moment. Hopefully that clears up soon. I got to play it through my 5150 for a couple hours this morning and it sounds pretty sweet so far. It came tuned to B which was cool, but the strings were too thin. I think it had 12-54's or something. I added another trem spring and put some 13-60's on it and it feels much better now. I'll have to see how much better it sounds with the thicker strings here in a little while. The BH-IIR seems to sound pretty good in the walnut body, but I have a PH-R on the way to try out as well. The neck feels real nice, same as a standard Horus neck. The guitar is also fairly heavy, a bit heavier than a regular Horus from what I can recall. If you look closely you can see I changed the incredibly lame black chrome volume knob to a regular black one. I have some regular black Gotoh tuners and black Schaller strap locks on the way to complete the guitar as well.

Thanks man! A bunch of guys from the Caparison forum have dibs.

It's a limited edition model, so I'm not sure how many of them will even be made.

Hey Mark, what brand of strings do you use for you 13-60's? Custom sets? Hybrid cobbled together sets?

I usually just buy individual strings and put together a set that works for me. I use 13 17 26 36 46 60 for short scale guitars, which I don't believe anyone makes a set like that. I like Dean Markley strings, but I'm no too picky.

Well, I could technically just put this maple neck on any Horus body if I wanted to.

Everly makes a set that is 11, 15, 22p, 38, 52, 60 if you want something a little slinkier on the top.
