Thought i'd post a link to the japanese caparison guitar company. apparently established by an ex jackson/charvel designer Itaru Kanno. Anyhow few people have heard of these so here is a link. have a look ?

From what I have read they are fantastic guitars that cater more for the metal and neo-classical fraternity.

Those headstocks for me will take some getting used to, but the rest is Uber sexy looking

The new TATs and new fixed bridge Dillinger 7s are going to be awesome. Walnut bodies look great, wonder what they sound like?

Mattias "IA" Eklundh's guitar of choice.

i know of one popular metal band whose one guitarist (chris amott from arch enemy) is endorsed by caparison and from looking at the models on the site it seems to cater alot for the metal scene. The dellinger is awesome! And the horus! i would love to try one! I know the Horus model has 27 frets! lol

Awsome stuff

KsE used them but Adam D has a Signature Parker guitar now.
James Murphy has a custom or signature Dillinger I think.

I've always wanted one but never thought I'd see one in person. :-\

oh yeh, I remember I saw a couple pics of him using one.

sorry I just can't get used to the shape/headstock of a Parker, I've seen a couple of em in music stores but haven't tried one yet. Theres a guy on Ultimate-Guitar lessons that jams on one also...

Dean, have you had any experiences with Parker?

Nah not on any of those unfortunately :/. I've just heard that the Parker guitar necks are lightning fast but most people cannot stand the body shape. I think Alan can fill you in more than I can.

The Caparison Head stocks look awesome in my opinion. It might be that everyone is used to the commercial/traditional headstock look (ibanez, Jackson, fender) but I like origionality/creativity ?

The Dean V Head shaped head stocks on the other hand need a bit of re thinking. I will not touch one with a headstock like that. ???
