Yes and no on the touchups, not really touched up on Caparisons, they're just under a weird light actually, I'm not sure what it is about it. I think it's because the CD-R stuff you get is actually print ready, not straight off the cam, as it were. And with Caparison's finishes being so whack sometimes it's very hard to show them up.
Like the Iris Violet, for instance


That's missing massive amounts of the purple. Believe it or not, it's supposed to be representative of this finish

Awesome Shane, welcome to the forum! Thank you very much again for everything.

In regards to the photo issue, I see what you mean, that's very interesting. I think some of them are fairly accurate though. I've seen quite a few of those in real life or in natural light photos and they are pretty close. Purples/blues are always hard to photograph right, red sometimes too.

Cheers brother!

I'm not sure, I could talk to Caparison and try to get that information from their lead designer. I do know their necks are extremely fast though, I wouldn't worry - but I'll try to find out. Or perhaps Shane knows.

Awesome, thanks Shane.

Bah, I don't have it. I'll measure some when I get a chance and post. I do have factory setup specs so you can see whether shipping and climate has affected your setup

* pickup height
I adjust the height of Pickups with ascertaining sound with Amp.
[Translation: He sets the pickup height depending on how he feels the particular guitar is sounding]

*string height
This numerical value is a distance to the string from the top of Fret with 12Fret.
[Translation: 12th fret string height]
Measure it under the condition that a guitar is played.

Apple Horn SE/ Horus/Dellinger SE/Dellinger II SE
1st Strings...1.2mm, 6th Strings...1.4mm

Angelus-ACE SE/ Angelus22
1st Strings...1.3mm, 6th Strings...1.5mm

Apple Horn-HGS/ Horus-HGS
1st Strings...1.3mm, 6th Strings...1.5mm

Angelus-HGS/ Angelus-HGS GM/ Delliger-HGS SE/ Dellinger FX-HGS
1st Strings...1.5mm, 6th Strings...1.6mm

Dellinger 7
1st Strings...1.2mm, 7th Strings...1.6mm

yeah, they can look quite different in Natural light, this is the pic of the Scarab finish from the Caparison website:



This is my Scarab finish, taken inside in artificial light...



And this is the same guitar taken outside just before sunset.
