Re: Caparison Guitars

They seem just like Jackson SL1's for people who can't get an actuall USA Jackson.

He got a prototype or something that he is trying out to see.

Re: Caparison Guitars

I have a neck through. Plays as well as my Soloists, with a similar feeling neck.. maybe a bit thicker though.
I got it after I played the Evergrey guitars.
They tune to G to imitate voicing on a 7 string....

It's a ***** trying to keep the guitar in tune that low, however. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Caparison Guitars

Not if you set it up right. Most of the problems associated with heavy strings and downtuning are because the nut isn't cut wide enough. Fix that and most of your problems disappear. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Caparison Guitars

True, very true. But I only have one electric guitar right now (planning on fixing that pretty soon here), and I mainly need it for standard tuning. So the nut slots are not to be widened.

Re: Caparison Guitars

Dude, I run my guitars using everything from 10's to 13's and haven't had a nut-slot related issue when it comes to wide slots. As long as they're smooth and burr-free, you're good. I can understand not wanting to mess with your only guitar though. If it isn't broke, don't fuck with it. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

If it isn't broke, don't fuck with it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep, that's basically what I'm getting at.

Re: Caparison Guitars

I spoke to Tom at the Jaxx Show - they use .58's for the low G tuning.....

Re: Caparison Guitars

The guys from EverGrey are endorsed by them now also.

Re: Caparison Guitars

Yep - have been for a couple of years now (ProgPower 2 was the first time I got to play them)...
Tom just got his first Maple neck Caparison - loves it and says he is a maple guy from now on...
Anyway - someone earlier in the post had asked what guage they used for the G tuning... figured I'd ask the man himself. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Quake with fear, this topic is back from the dead! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Just want to let you know that there are some interesting videos where you can see IA molesting his Caparison!

Dont forget Nils from Nocturnal Rites!!
And actually both guitarists from Evergrey use em. No one here ever heard of Dennis Stratton either?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So it's basically a Scandinavian thing, innit. I've yet to see the first one over here in Belgium.
Of course I know Dennis Stratton. What's he up to nowadays?
