Caparison Horus M3B Custom Line Guitar, Moon Burst, Flame Maple Top, Ebony Fretboard

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. 

The Caparison pickups are hot and aggressive, designed to melt faces and get an in-your-face sound that can withstand virtually any imaginable amount of distortion while still sounding punchy, tight, and articulate. We're really big fans of that neck pickup as well. It offers some versatility and can clean up rather nicely. The bridge pickup is pretty much designed for one purpose: to shred! But even the bridge can be split using the push/pull volume pot and that gets you a brighter, more airy and open tone out of it that isn't quite as aggressive.

Every detail of this guitar is exquisite, from the electronics to the craftsmanship. The action is quite low right out of the box, the trem has spot-on intonation, and the neck feels exquisite. This is a serious axe to add to any shredder's arsenal.

When you look at the Horus-M3B Custom Line, it’s easy to see why the codename given to it during its inception was “Super Horus”.

At the center of this “Super Horus” is its beautiful M3B composite tonewood body structure, making it a true temple of sound. It's 18mm thick, hand-selected, master grade flame maple top sits above a gorgeous 3-piece back comprised of a maple centerpiece sandwiched between two mahogany sides. The Horus-M3B Custom Line is finished in a transparent “Sun Burst” or “Moon Burst” gloss with natural reveal body binding and matching headstock.

Made of a luxurious 5-piece maple and walnut, its neck was strengthened in order to deepen the heel cut of the neck joint and allow a 1.0mm reduction in neck thickness, while taking great care in matching the standard of playability to the quality of its first-class build.

A new Caparison PH-bc bridge pickup, based on the popular PH-R, was developed to complement the body, employing a truly harmonious structure that gives the Horus-M3B CL both an aesthetic beauty and the player’s best interests at its heart. An example of its functionality is the user-friendly control system that focuses on elevating it’s playing experience. Adapting a Push-Push switch and Coil Splitting Function, all you have to do is tap the volume knob lightly to activate a coil-split mode.
