Caparison Guitars Introduces the Apple Horn 8

Mattias “IA” Eklundh's signature model sports a 27" scale length and is loaded with a Floyd Rose trem.

United Kingdom (September 2, 2014) -- With a walnut and mahogany composite tone wood body, the Apple Horn 8 helps to maintain that essential note definition needed when dealing with avant-garde guitar tunings. The highs remain crystal clear with a distinctive bell like midrange and the low notes are tight yet thunderous.

The fast and comfortable hand-finished, five-piece maple/walnut neck molds comfortably into your hand making extended playing a breeze and fatigue free. Add to this the 27-fret True Temperament system on a 27" scale length rosewood fretboard and the exacting harmonics that this guitar produces sing out in perfect intonation.

The calculated lunacy is completed with an 8-string Floyd Rose Original tremolo system for maximum sonic exploration; an articulate and dynamic DiMarzio D Activator 8 pickup in the bridge and a sweet PAF 8 in the neck—each selected by a single push/push volume pot.

Caparison set out to make the ultimate 8-string guitar, eminently playable, sonically astute and simply beautiful. The Apple Horn 8 represents the epitome of creative guitar building and genuinely stands apart from other instruments of its ilk.
