I like that oiled mahigany Dellinger 7 string, looks nice.
Never heard of these guys before.
guitar Asylum has got the 7's look at that price though

$3430.00 wya too rich for my blood
holy shit these these ain't cheap.

They look like nice strats, but the headstock is flaming.

I emailed Guitar Asylum awhile ago for a price on an oiled mahogany Horus or Dellinger, they never got back to me. I wound up buying my Charvel Star after that anyway, so it's all good. I'd still love a Caparison, though.

I don't like that headstock myself..I do like the notched one tho..

it grew on me..

Damn Nick, these go for that much..hell I might not GAS for long then..

Bill, I think the horus models go for between $1700 and $2k new, at least from when I've asked for price quotes from Guitar Asylum.

I'll check on prices when I get to Tokyo. About one to two weeks or so. $3400 sounds like list to me. A while back I was going to get one and they were $1500 to $2000 ish.

They are a lot less expensive in Japan. A Delllinger is like $1300.

[kmanick]

that $3430.00 is the list that is listed on guitarAsylums site.
A Dellinger 7 for $1,300.00 sounds a hell of a lot more reasonable.

I've got a TAT...Through and Through model that's been discontinued....it's the neck-thru. It's a great feeling/playing axe. It's a tad heavy, but because it's an archtop it's got a thick body. Excellent craftsmanship....I met the guys from Caparison at NAMM and the one who spoke english was cool....they are top of the line guitars.

I was after a Pete Lesperance model a few months back, which is/was their only 6-in-line tuner model. As it turns out, it was discontinued and replaced with some Gibson-looking turd. Too bad their 27-fret model is 24.75" scale.

You can get them from Japan and have them shipped over for FAR less than $2K. I was looking at an apple horn and it would have cost about $1500. Much better than the $2500 GA is asking.


I believe the shop is Ishibashi . . . .

[zeegler]

The Angelus looks nice. I'm not much into the boring old superstrat shape, so I like it because it's a bit different. I also don't like the pointy smurph hats.

[horns666]

I think my gas maybe over for the time being buying a new toy, hopefully, from one of our own..

Ozz - nice guitar !
Horns - the 7 stringer will run about $2400 at GA....
