I reckon that 7 string looks awesome - but I do agree that they are too expensive! But I'd get one if I had the disposable income...

I wonder if the Evergrey guys are getting custom 7 string Caparison's? Anyone seen their DVD? I couldn't believe it when I saw his sanded back UV7MC! (with a Swedish accent:- "I got rid of the gay swirly colors")

"And now people would pay huge amounts of money for an original" Didn't he say something like that too?

They did say that they got 7-string Caparison's coming.

^ Yeh something like that! Ha ha ha ha - Fucking great DVD btw! I've been looking on the Caparison site and they didn't have 7 string Evergrey models yet, maybe they decided not to get them?

Back on topic - 7 string Caparison minus the hefty price tag =

caparison makes me think of matthias 'ia' eklund from freak kitchen. tho he uses a 6 his stuff is just awesome.

Actually, the very first one was for Nils Norberg of Nocturnal Rites. It's a production model now, though.

Yep, that's what Tom told me, too. Then people started buying him drinks, so the conversation went downhill rapidly.

AFAIK, the only true "dealer" in the U.S. is Guitar Asylum. I mean, I could order one from Japan, if I was dying for one, but at the price point it's not worth it to me. Although the idea of a 7 string Horus (with the 27 frets) is intriguing...

I've heard from more than a few guys that have the 27 fret models that anything above 22-24 (depending on finger size) is completely un-usable and basically there to be "different".

I don't know why but these guitars annoy the shit out of me. Nothing to do with the looks, price, etc... It's just that EVERY trendy metalcore kid over at HC wants one.

...but then you remember you're a Jackson endorser, and you could just order a Collen Archtop 7 that will smoke it.

Why would I do that - a Soloist Arch would be a far superior choice, IMO. They'll make me one w/27.

I just keep forgetting that they'll make that slant fretboard on whatever you want.
