I played a Caparison the other day, in fact it's at my house right now still haha
But i thought you would have to be a fool to pay that much for one, nothing special about it, i'd rather play my Ibanez.

Not saying that;s what they are all like but the one i played wasn't that good at all.

the one i played was good, but not £1500-good.

i was kinda underwhelmed, to be honest- it was only when i came home and saw the prices they were going for in Japan that i came round to them more.

Yeh if you could get one from Japan then i would think about it, though i still think there's better guitars for that money.

I thought that about the Caparison Horus I played a few months ago. It was 'ok' but no way would I pay the £1300ish price tag. If it was around £750 I would of considered it.

There really isn't anything in it but preference to be honest.

Blackmachines and Vigiers are my all-time favourite guitars. Vigiers for beautiful music, Blackmachines for "teh br00talz".

yeah. i think that's what they go for in japan. actually probably a bit less... i worked out last month (the pound was stronger then, d'oh!) that with postage and customs, you could probably get a horus to the UK for around £750-£800. Of course, that assumes they'll ship, and they might not (i've heard ikebi won't ship any more; ishibashi will, but not sure if they can get caparisons).

so, er, yeah.

I'd have a look at Myka guitars. With the pound being so strong you could probably pick up one with some money left over..........

........ I fell in love with these some time ago:

+1 on the Myka, i love davids work and he seems a genuinely nice, helpfull guy.

-1 on the savings from me, i dont liek to think of myself as cheap!!

Wow the myka guitars look incredible! Not too keen on the JJ...or the Myka singlecut actually because i need it for Jazz Fusion type stuff so playability is essential...

Does anyone know anything about the Suhr Pro Classic series? I love the feel of suhr guitars but have never tried out the Pro classic series which seems like a great deal! Either that or maybe a USA strat which i can upgrade (pickups etc) with the leftover cash? Or maybe even strech for a Suhr custom?

Actually can anyone tell me what Tom Andersons are like? How do they compare to a Suhr?

Cheers

Just out of interest Wez, what have you been charging for some of your six strings (roughly)?
