Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up Caparison Guitars as part of our stable of high-end guitars.

Handmade in Japan, you can really feel the attention to detail in every aspect of this gorgeous instrument. It's simple and understated, yet it is sure to grab the attention of bandmates and audience members alike. The feel is simply extraordinary on this guitar and, of course, the tone is nothing short of incendiary and searing hot. This is a thoroughbred shred-machine. The bass response is tight and punchy and the treble is cutting and articulate. The pickups are hot and designed to handle some serious distortion and saturation without any worries of muddiness.

This guitar is a prime example of what a well-made but simple design can accomplish. Expert craftsmanship meets incredible electronics... Enough said!

Manufacturer's Description

The Caparison Horus FX-AM is an extremely adept 27 fret, hard-tailed hot-rodded shred monger.

With its unusual Light Ash and Maple composite body the Horus FX-AM, when played clean, gives you a deliciously sweet and sublime tone that chimes with a bright shimmering high note and a focused and sustained low end. Turn up the gain however and you have in your hands an uncompromising rock monster! The custom Caparison pickups help to define and intensify every note, enhancing the already extraordinary sonic qualities of this remarkable guitar.

The Hipshot Fixed Bridge has solid steel saddles with a crisp string relief edge, eliminating any dull tones, maximising string vibration and will stay solid no matter how hard you thrash. The beautiful simplicity of the design perfectly complimenting the svelte and alluring lines of this guitar.

The striking ebony fingerboard, now with signature Caparison clock inlays further enhances the sharp aesthetics of the Horus FX-AM and the luminous side fret marker dots are a cool and practical addition. The addition of a 5-piece Maple & Walnut neck offers ultimate stability.
