The pinnacle of Caparison design are the now-legendary TAT Special.
It’s foundations were laid in 1995 with a 24-fret sample model and since
then it’s continued to flourish and evolve into the technically
sophisticated, elite instrument it is today. Its beautifully unique body
structure, the Caparison Tat curve top, is an asymmetrical 27-fret
design with an arched body top, resulting in a more comfortable,
complimentary playing experience beyond the 12th fret.
The
ingenious evolutionary construction continues with the use of Flame
Maple Top/Mahogany Back material for both sides, creating the lasting
sustain of a sound that, due to its luxury 5 piece Maple Walnut
through-neck has lasting strength, stability and unquestionable quality.
The
PH-R bridge pickup is a fundamental characteristic of a TAT-Special
that’s combined with the Caparison “SH-27F” neck pick-up, obtaining an
amazing clarity of sound that can be perfectly governed by Caparison’s
unique Rotary Switch Mode. Simple and practical, this pickup selector is
an option that gives you a rich supply of tones that makes this guitar
as versatile as it is beautiful.
The 3-way pickup selector switch
activates rotary switch mode when in the center position. The the 4-way
rotary switch can then be used to change the pick-up output.
