lol you are completely not comprehending Godspeed64's statement..not one bit of it. Seems like you are the one with comprehension issues instead.
Even if the Epiphone isn't on par with or better than the Gibson. Gibson is still the parent company of Epiphone and the shapes are therefore similar and you can classify them as SIMILAR guitars. i.e The epiphone SG is a Gibson style guitar.
I honestly doubt whether the LTD can really get the Caparison 'feel, quality and tone'... because if that were the case, nobody would by caparisons.
That aside, LTD is a brand that is UNRELATED to Caparison. I assume you're referring to the Mattias "IA" Eklundh apple horn signature model or the Horus series because of the slanted neck pickup. I believe the inspiration for LTD to do that on your model comes from the old ESP/LTD Page Hamilton signature guitars..
Your guitar is made of BASSWOOD while the caparisons are mostly made of Mahogany or their very interesting composite mahogany-walnut material. The difference in tone between these woods is massive. Quality wise.. LTDs if I'm not wrong, are entirely machine made. As far as I know, Caparison incorporates some work that is done by hand in their construction process.. How then can the quality of the LTD match up to the Caparison? Feel wise.. Caparisons have a somewhat compound radius style fingerboard radius which I believe the LTD doesn't.. Again, how does it fare against the caparison?
Your wall of text is full of errors and wrong assumptions which I'll easily refute in a few sentences. Then again if you don't have comprehension issues in the first place, you won't come up with so much misinformation and flaming.
I said Caparison style guitar, not Caparison guitar. Why Caparison Style? 27 frets and H/S pickup config, slanted neck pickup, neck thru, floyd rose. 1 look and anyone can tell it's a Caparison style guitar. What other guitar apart from this LTD looks like a Caparison, in this Caparison style? Little or none.
People say all the time that TGM Strat is Strat copy or Strat style. Craftsman SG is SG copy or SG style. Etc etc. And they are not wrong, and I am not wrong too by saying this guitar is Caparison style.
My guitar's body is made of MAHOGANY as advertised, where did the Basswood come from? Please don't mislead my potential buyers here.
If you refer to the links I put up, experts commented about my guitar's neck profile, how it compares favourably with a Caparison at a fraction of the price, and put up a video/tone demo.
I think this forum is getting from bad to worse, we always have people who are not buying anything making trouble at other people's advertisements..
