Developed in close collaboration with Tom S. Englund, the Dellinger Prominence-TSE is built to deliver exceptional articulation, versatility, and character—from crushing riffs and soaring leads to rich, expressive cleans. 

Its MB3 construction combines a maple centre with Australian Blackwood wings, producing a balanced, highly defined voice with tight lows, focused mids, and cutting highs. At its core is the custom PH-R-TSE bridge pickup, engineered to retain the aggressive output and dark character of the original PH-R while adding enhanced low-mid punch and a tighter bass response, particularly in drop C tuning. 

A 5-piece walnut/maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide outstanding stability and playability, while luminlay side markers ensure visibility on any stage. An intuitive 3-way on-on-on selector offers quick, intuitive access to a versatile range of tones. 

Signature details include striking red stripe and Roman numeral inlays, a matching red-bobbin bridge pickup, Tom’s engraved rear control panel signature, and a Charcoal Grey Black Burst finish with a metallic silver Caparison logo—combining understated elegance with unmistakable stage presence.  

“This is my dream guitar - Every detail has been obsessively refined until it felt exactly right — from the rich, resonant Australian blackwood body to the custom pickups we developed in-house. We left nothing to chance. The goal was simple: extract the absolute best in tone, sustain, dynamics, and playability possible from the instrument. 

"I wanted Caparison’s legendary build quality and precision, fused with everything I’ve learned across 35 years of recording in the studio and tearing it up onstage. The result is a guitar that doesn’t just meet expectations — it elevates them. 

"This instrument brings out the very best in you as a player… but it also demands your best in return. It inspires. It calls to you. It pushes you to play with more feel, more fire, and more intention. Every time I pick it up, I feel driven to create, to push further, to chase that next great sound." - Tom S. Englund
