New guitar, Caparison Dellinger

[indysmith]

I was only kidding mate ;) I haven't tried one either, but I'd really like to

[Lew]

no prob :)

The body shape reminds me of an old yamaha model and I will be damned if I can remember the name....

I should get in touch with Jonathon at Feline about getting a bkp neck pickup that matches the other pickups in this guitar, the neck hotrail pickup lacks any clarity :(

[dave_mc]

I haven't played a Legra but fair play they look like shitee  :lol:

they're customs, you can get whatever shape you want...

[snapascrew]

my god, thats sooo nice, as soon as i can afford a 3000 dollar guitar ill be sure to get a caparison, probably a translucent black angeus with an 85 in the bridg and an emg 60 in the neck

Don't be too quick to go for a Caparison.

However *hermz has a Angelus with Warpigs in it, and it is a beauty.

[waves]

that's not mine lol :?  i'm the one with the lilac ibanez s and the h&k warp x you wanted so badly (i'm selling it soon btw)


that guitar is hermz.

just to clear that up. (i would love that guitar though)

[Fikealox]

Hermz sold it recently :(

lol, cr@p I was thinking hermz and forgot to correct it. Sorry :oops:

Here's my Deli

I think the Bridge pickup and middle pickup are great, but I think the neck pickup is terrible. Other than that the guitar is my baby.

But now you're selling it already?

Or isn't that yours on ebay?

[Lew]

It is mine yep :)

Sounds great has a guitar coming in a couple of weeks I must get my hands on(caparison)! Also, I hope to have a guitar in the works from a certain UK builder.

Too many guitars to get and not enough cash!   8)

[MDV]

MDV's not gonna like this thread. He doesn't like the Caparison he played. I've seen the TATII (holy shitee) and some other Caparison, probably the Dellinger but I didn't have time to play (had to catch a flight)

I've been depressed ever since. :(

 :lol: I wasnt gonna say anything: theres no need to badmouth a mans new guitar, and I only played one, and it wasnt this one.

But yes, my opinion based on that one is very low indeed.

And legra are incredible guitars, Bob is an extremely talented individual. Theres no comparison with caparison (based, as with dave, on the one of each I've played). I'm getting another :D

[noodleplugerine]

WILL PEOPLE STOP COMPARING CUSTOM GUITARS TO PRODUCTION GUITARS.

Its getting on my bloody tits.

Probably not, no. Sorry.

The similarity of price pretty much demands it.

[noodleplugerine]

Money isn't everything.

There's alot more to custom guitars than the price, not everybody is prepared to design a guitar, nor wait months to get it built. And don't forget, you are essentially buying unseen - Some people just don't like that.

There's an aura on this forum that its never worth buying a production guitar over £1200, because Custom Guitars are OHZOMUCHBETA!!!

Production guitars can be brilliant guitars, and worth the price, if you like the guitar, and you're prepared to hand over the cash, that's all that should matter.

And MDV, Yes, you didn't like the Caparison you played, and neither did Dave, but even on this forum alone, I have read more people say they are great than say they are bad. Its like Marmite I guess.


And don't forget, we've all had the situation where you're in a guitar shop, and you pick up an axe which just speaks to you, on every level. A guitar which is so perfect for you that you buy it there and then, and never look back. Look at all the Miras being bought in similar situations recently. Surely that element of spontaneity and impulse, is something which can't be emulated with custom guitars.

Keep yer nickers on noodle. A guitars a guitar, and customs dont have magical powers. The reasons that a lot of people like them are:

You get what you want

You get a greater degree of assurance of high quality from an expert hand-build.

Of course money isnt everything, but its a pretty big factor, and when you get up to around a grand or more then custom guitars and production guitars are direct competitors. Of course opinions and buying-styles will vary, we've been through this many times, but the fact that they are head-to-head remains.

Your opinion is duly noted, but its not going to have any bearing whatsoever on whether or not I, for one, choose to talk about custom and production guitars in the same breath. Its perfectly appropriate.
