What is more, Gotoh H.A.P. is mounted as the machine head for adjustments in string tensions.

HGS (Heavy Gauge Strings)
The model itself has the heavy gauge strings for tuning down, which is a popular requirement in the Death Metal music scene, for example. The bridge position is mounted 3mm further along than regularly seen on other guitars; this is to help when adjusting heavy gauge strings to an octave deeper in pitch. In addition, the pickup position is changed as the bridge moved. This means that players, never again need to change their playing technique because the neck length is always the same.

Pro. Finish
This is Caparisonﾕs original finish which helps make our distinctive and renowned mid-low range tonal characteristics possible.
