2004 Caparison Horus – Made in Japan
Classic 27-Fret Shred Icon | Original Hard Case & Stock Pickups Included
Up for sale is a rare early-run 2004 Caparison Horus, hand-crafted in Japan. Designed in collaboration with Japanese metal virtuosos and former Jackson Japan custom shop master Itaru Kanno, early late-90s Caparisons are legendary for their elite build quality, ergonomic fret access, and lightning-fast playability.
This guitar features the iconic 27-fret rosewood fingerboard with signature Caparison clock inlays and the unmistakable "Devil's Tail" reverse headstock.
