| Classic Colors... Caparison Guitars stated to sell guitars only for Japanese market in 1995. Initially the colors were Iceberg,Red Sunset for TAT model,and Iris Violet for Horus model. Those three colors were painted by hand since1995,nothing like the present Caparison Guitars DESIGN has on TAT/TAT II and Horus. Back then,the designer made the color samples,and the mass production models were finished to match the color samples in the factory. The guitar with those colors in the first catalogue in 1996 were the first sample guitars made by the designer's own hands. "Caparison Guitars DESIGN" now revives the original sample colors. As limited editions, these special colors are available only with 2008 models. |
