Description
* Boutique Japanese craftsmanship.
There’s something special about this Caparison Angelus. A 2004 example with all the presence, precision and attitude that made these Japanese-built instruments so highly regarded.
Finished in a striking Transparent Orange, the Angelus combines an classy visual identity with the kind of serious, performance focused construction Caparison became known for. The result is a guitar that feels equally at home under stage lights or in the hands of a player looking for something genuinely distinctive.
This example is in excellent condition and has clearly been looked after. There is no fret wear, while the body and finish show only minimal signs of use. This guitar remains particularly eye-catching, giving it plenty of character without distracting from its clean, purposeful design.
A great opportunity to own a well-preserved early-2000s Caparison with the look and feel of a proper Japanese boutique instrument. For players who appreciate guitars that sit outside the usual mainstream choices, the Angelus remains a seriously compelling proposition.
