Not just the Aldrich model, but also the 27-fret Jackson Falcon which is closer to the Caparison.

Whoah! It really is. I just googled that Fujimura guy, and it looks like he became one of their first endorsees & was involved in designing the Horus model.Comment

It's pretty wild! I wish I could find a Falcon. I've never seen one, and I'm not sure if anyone here has one or has seen one either.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Damn. Those are awesome! I always forget about the Yahoo Auction.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Most sellers on Yahoo! Auction are wary about shipping outside of Japan, so it's generally a moot point for people in other countries to get excited about the stuff they have on sale here

ESP Standard Series guitars are built in the Fujigen plant, I believe, which also builds the Ibanez Prestige guitars and several other Japanese brands (including the Orville/Epiphone Elitists), but not Jackson.
ESP Custom guitars are built in a separate facility, if not more than one facility.
Guitar-making is kind of weird in Japan, in that guitar designers and builders seem to be entirely separate operations. Caparison doesn't own its own factory, but leases time at an established factory. Ibanez is purely a design shop--they don't have any factories of their own (other than the L.A. custom shop for the stars). ESP's custom shops are the only ones I know of that merge designer and builder.Last edited by pro-fusion; 07-10-2009, 03:10 PM.Comment

Hmmm, I wonder if the Jackson custom shop would make a Falcon. That guitar is exactly what I've wanted, but never knew that they made such a thing.Comment
-
Heh, they probably won't do it now because it's too similar to a Caparison.
Sorry, couldn't resist...Comment

Given how expensive a Falcon from the custom shop would be, you might as well just get the Caparison version, which is very nice.Comment
