No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

The new Custom Line Caparison Angelus CL15s at NAMM were sick. Found these factory shots of it. What do you think? There is another color I haven't found pics of yet.

Looks really killer... I suspect though you might suffer from some serious sticker shock though if they are made in the USA. Boutique guitars come with boutique prices when made in the USA.

It says it's made in Japan on the control plate, probably still has a commanding price.

Is that a 25.5" scale? The 24.75" scale is what I don't usually like about Gibson style guitars.
 
Re: No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

There's still nothing like an LP. For some of us, no alternative can take their place.

Not a fan of satin finishes.

An ebony board with bling looks nice but you can have it cheaper.
 
Re: No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

Ebony, big frets, 24 fret, nice fit and finish in those pics, Japan instead of China, locking tuners, no cheap ass tremolo, I like it. I'd love to play one and see how it feels and sounds.

The guy that posted this typically has $2k-$3k guitars for sale in the trading post. :D
 
Re: No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

Hawt. My preference has been leaning away from LP styles and back more towards Fenders though.
 
Re: No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

The guitar is certainly nice, but it goes nowhere near Gibson territory. Steps more on PRS toes I think.
 
Re: No more PRS/Les Pauls for me!

On one hand, it's obviously a beautiful instrument with excellent woods, fit and finish.

On the other hand, it looks like the inbred offspring of a Carvin carved top with an even uglier headstock and inlays to me...

:dunno:


Here's the Carvin:

I actually prefer Carvin headstocks because the strings run straighter from bridge to tuners than on a Gibson or PRS. I'm not saying it's an advantage that the strings beak down over the nut instead of down and sideways, but it is more appealling to me.
