Caparison TAT Red Sunset 1996
Description
CaparisonGuitarsTATRedSunset1996
CaparisonGuitars uses intelligent design based on world-class experience and feedback from professional musicians. This is a high-end guitar brand that is widely supported by heavy artists for its aggressive appearance and thick, beautiful sound.
This time it's from 1996, when the TAT RedSunset brand was just starting.
The highest grade of caparison, TAT, stands for ThroughandThrough and suggests both a neck-through construction and a consistent caparison concept.
It features an alder body with a unique red sunset color, a maple neck with a neck-through design, and a 24F ebony fingerboard.
The Schaller Floyd Rose bridge provides intense arming and stable tuning. You can experience a well-balanced playing feel.
The pickup layout looks like SSH at first glance, but the center is a dummy, and it has a simple combination of a Seymour Duncan at the front and a modified Bill Lawrence XL500 humbucker at the rear.
It seems that a mid booster was originally installed, but the current controls are only a 3-way toggle selector and 1 volume, and the tone is a dummy, so it outputs clear sound with high resolution.
In addition, we are particular about the hardware, such as GOTOH pegs, making this guitar easy to use for metal guitarists.

Comes with hard case and arm.
An early Caparison 24-fret specification model that has all the specifications necessary for a metal guitar! Surprisingly, there aren't many options for a 24-fret guitar with a Floyd Rose type. This one has a unique color look, has high playability thanks to the through-neck design, and has a rock-friendly sound that would go well with a high-gain amp, demonstrating the power of a caparison.
A D tuner from an unknown brand has been retrofitted, but it doesn't go all the way down to D, so I can't use it at all. Please think of this as a decoration. Overall, it has been modified quite a bit and has many scratches and looks like it has been used.
This ax-shaped head is the best. Recommended for metallers and Djent types who play fast passages and bad riffs. There are no taps, so you can use this as a base and modify it to your liking. Anyway, it's a weapon that you want to use with a thick sound.
Exterior condition: There are many small scratches, dents, scrapes, and paint chips all over the periphery, neck side, jack area, etc. Two rod cover screws are missing. There is a lot of usability overall.
Truss rod with plenty of room
Condition of the frets: Approximately 7 minutes remaining, good condition with no sound clogging!
