Would you go for:
Or:
Or:
I'm buying in the next couple of months so need to decide. All are the same price. Well the first one is a little cheaper.

... you are an addict man, you need to detox .. get a Squire
The 3rd is quite similar to the one you have or not? The finish at least. Sorry i know nothing about Caparision guitars 
... but now i start to get interested even if its not my type of guitars.

I personally hate gold hardware, but out of these I like the lightest one the best, if I got that one I'd change the hardware out for black or chrome ASAP. As for the others, I don't like blue guitars, and black is too common for a metal guitar.

white looks the best

As for the others, I don't like blue guitars, and black is too common for a metal guitar.The black one is black clouds rather than just black. I love it. And yes I normally hate gold hardware but I think on this model it fits. All three of them you can get with black hardware by the way
It's just I wanted gold on this particular model. And the bottom one is still very different. Similar colour but has 27 frets rather than 24 and a different pickup configuration and style My friend is currently in Japan and is bringing me one back. I just need to tell him which one I want

I vote for a Michael Romeo Signature Dellinger, and if that's not your cup of tea, I vote for number 3 out of the models you posted, the Horus is it?
Also, I too normally hate gold hardware, but on most Caparison's I admit it does look pretty sweet!

I do like Michael Romeo but I wouldn't buy an artist guitar and yeah they are all Horus models
Posted by: Noangels Oct 9 2008, 02:46 PM
Love the look of the Horus range in that Gold/Yellow colour
27 frets too!
There realy good axes,Love the tones KSE get with them and their amps
Posted by: Smikey2006 Oct 9 2008, 03:05 PM
God i love the white 1.
Posted by: berko Oct 9 2008, 03:42 PM
Thanks for the post, now im gonna check out these axes too. see, im looking for a decent guitar too... I don't like gold on guitars either, but the 3rd one looks great. precious and killer at the same time 
Now checking out these models
Posted by: Guitarman700 Oct 9 2008, 03:45 PM
My vote goes for the white one, seeing as you already have a darker colored caparison.
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 9 2008, 03:50 PM
Nice guitars! I would go for the second one! It looks great. However I don't kow if the differences are just the colours or if there are some other differences like pick ups... In appearence I preffer the second one.
Posted by: Smells Oct 9 2008, 03:50 PM
hmmm, tough choice, I like all three 
I agree with WRK perhaps go for one a bit different from the TATII
My cash would probably buy the dark blue (3rd one down) but the 1st one is pretty stunning as well!
ooh I dunno, in the words of the advert "I`m ... not helping much am I Dad!"
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 9 2008, 03:59 PM
I think I'm gonna go for number 1. It's like Blind Date but at least I can see what I'm going to be going out with

True, the black clouds does make it stand out of the massive crowd of black flying Vs, Strats, and Les Pauls. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of those. Those guitars do look sick though, they look unique, and different, but they didn't go overboard to make it unique(ok, maybe the 27 frets is pushing it
). I would love one, but the 25.5 scale, bolt-on or neck-through guitars have never really worked for my style of music.

Every Caparison Guitar is hand painted by one guy. They only make 40 a month. It's crazy .
Posted by: Kuba Szafran Oct 9 2008, 04:12 PM
These are really nice axes and you're facing really tough decision. I would take the third one:).
Posted by: Praetorian Oct 9 2008, 04:20 PM
I like the first one...it looks like marble. I LOVE the last one though...but I am partial to blue guitars, hence my Ibanez!
I think you should wait and find a guitar with more frets though! 
Posted by: Duncan Oct 9 2008, 04:59 PM
The first and third ones both look lovely. I'd be leaning toward to blue one, if only it came with chrome hardware.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 9 2008, 08:30 PM
If I had to choose between just these 3 guitars, then definitely the low one. The color is kinda nice
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 9 2008, 09:51 PM
You can get it with either black or gold hardware for same price.
Posted by: sidewas lightning Oct 9 2008, 09:54 PM
I would get the white one. I always loved the way gold hardware looks on white, purple, and red guitars.
And just by looking at all three, I can tell that they are all awesome.
To be honest with you, I have never ever heard of this brand of guitar. I'm going to look it up.
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Oct 10 2008, 12:02 AM
First one looks most beautiful to me
Also the third one
You are lucky getting such good instruments
Posted by: FrankW Oct 10 2008, 04:13 AM
Nice looking guitars! The dark blue one looks the best in my opinion, though, they all look great. Caparison guitars...nice.
Posted by: audiopaal Oct 10 2008, 08:03 AM
I'd go for the second one, easy choice for me
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 10 2008, 08:38 AM
I think I'm going to go for number one
Posted by: Velvet Roger Oct 10 2008, 08:51 AM
Either the first or third one for me (probably first )
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 10 2008, 11:46 AM
I bought the first one today. It is my 7th guitar and my new baby. I will post a picture when I receive it.
I'm so happy but so mental also. I have nearly 10000 pound worth of musical equipment now.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 22 2008, 09:47 AM
I can't wait. My new guitar arrives in 7 days. I will do a review as soon as it does.
Posted by: Hisham Al-Sanea Oct 22 2008, 10:42 PM
i am to the 3rd one
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 30 2008, 02:35 PM
It's here people and it is incredible. It sounds like 100 galloping horses when driven and the clean is just out of this world. Plus I have 27 frets now I'm well happy. Review, Pictures and possibly sound clips coming soon
Posted by: Sigfridsson Oct 30 2008, 02:44 PM
wow, that's some great looking guitars.
Normally black guitars always fall into my taste, but this time around I'm actually going to have to admit that I have my doubts, I really like the third one!
I think that no matter which one you pick you can't really go wrong, they all look nice.
Personally I would probably have picked the second or the third one!
