all of em.

that tele kicks ass too.

Ive heard great stories about Caparison, but you never see them over here.

I finally got to try one (the orange Mattias IA Eklundh model) a while back, but the neck wasnt as totally awesome as I expected. I only got to play it for a couple of minutes tho, but honestly I liked the neck on the LTD H301 I had with me at that moment better

Caparisons are among the best guitars in the world in my opinion. I've seen amazing players like Michael Romeo use caparisons. (actually michael romeo main guitar years ago was an MII, but he recently joined the caparison family) Handcrafted in japan, so you'd expect they are expensive.

I've played a few Capas, and know a lot of people who own them. At the price point of ESPs and Capas the differences are less in quality, and more simply subjective taste. Personally, I prefer ESPs (mainly because of the neck profiles).

I would love a TAT or Dellinger, though. Hell, I even go through bouts of lusting for an Angelus.
