Your thoughts?

Body looks a little off to me. I really like the Gotoh FR/Grover tuners and flame tops. Not bad for (around) 1.2k sgd. Definitely more value for money than something like a Jackson DK2.

Caparison owners on soft feel free to comment as well (heh)

EDIT: DAMMIT I WANT ONE

Dot inlays = classic

Nice.

I don't know if they have the 27 frets model, like the MIJ one. Pretty insane!

They're all based on the Dellinger model. Bolt on. 24 frets. But still its MIJ!!

if theres a solid coloured white one, im getting it.

why cant they make something with a wilkinson trem instead of always going for either fixed bridges or full floating whammies??

Oh please. Wilkinson trem is so NOT superstrat okay. Floyd Rose is a must have!!

The new series really made in Japan? The regular Caparison Japan line is very expensive, around $3k.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys.

Just got word back from Itaru. He won't say what country these guitars are made in but he did say that it's not possible for them to make these guitars in Japan(somehow I see Jackson is able to though). Very likely that it's being made in Korea though.

There are no plans for a 27 fret model for Chatting Bird guitars and right now it's just those two models. The Angelus-type and the Dellinger-type.

Good news is that the Kyowa Shokai staff along with Itaru will be inspecting these guitars so all the guitars will at least meet a fairly high standard for thier price point. I don't think the guitars will be setup by Itaru like the Caparisons are, but rather just inspected for flaws.

the question is, who is going to be nice enough bring them in ?

that's because you're slow, and don't know how awesome a FR is when fully utilized

Who said Floyds cannot be set to dive only? Changing strings on a Floyd should not exceed 10 mins. If you detest floyds then superstrats are not for you in the first place.

yes i'm slow. i admit that. but still i prefer living w/o a floyd. i've seen the uses of a floyd...maybe not all, so care to elaborate on the "awesomeness" of a floyd??

i never said anything about wanting a superstrat did i?? all i said was i wanted something with a wilkinson trem. maybe i should be more specific for u nitty gritty ppl. i want something with a vintage non locking tremolo bridge.

Okay. Let me be the first to tell you that this 'something' should not be a Superstrat. Or a Caparision Superstrat.

Now here's a pic to calm you down-

OOPS LOL
