Who's ready for some hot maple action? (Caparison content)

Megadeth7684 · 12-18-2007, 03:41 PM

Fresh from the land of the rising sun...

But which Caparison could it be?

I think that clears things up!

I can't take any outdoor pics right now since the ground is covered in snow at the moment. Hopefully that clears up soon. I got to play it through my 5150 for a couple hours this morning and it sounds pretty sweet so far. It came tuned to B which was cool, but the strings were too thin. I think it had 12-54's or something. I added another trem spring and put some 13-60's on it and it feels much better now. I'll have to see how much better it sounds with the thicker strings here in a little while. The BH-IIR seems to sound pretty good in the walnut body, but I have a PH-R on the way to try out as well. The neck feels real nice, same as a standard Horus neck. The guitar is also fairly heavy, a bit heavier than a regular Horus from what I can recall. If you look closely you can see I changed the incredibly lame black chrome volume knob to a regular black one. I have some regular black Gotoh tuners and black Schaller strap locks on the way to complete the guitar as well.

Thats an awesome looking guitar, I gotta get me some income!

MMMMMMMM walnut!!!!

That looks awesome man, bet it sounds killer!

Walnut is typically a rather heavy, dense wood so it's no surprise that you guitar is fairly heavy.

I had Ron chamber my Thorn (made of walnut as well

) and even then it's still probably like 7.5-8lbs!

I just tested it with the thicker strings and it sounds HUGE! Really clear and thick. Definitely enjoying the walnut body so far.
