The foundations of the Caparison TAT Special were laid in 1995 with a 24-fret sample model and since then its continued to flourish and evolve into the technically sophisticated, elite instrument it is today. 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, with oiled-finish, and 5 piece Maple Walnut through-neck.
