@@AeonAxisProductions I have 2 noisegates in my system (one to filter the signal from the guitar and one to filter preamp noise) but if you set it up aggressively to filter these string noises it will affect your sustain alot. Plus during recording straight into an interface I wouldn't want to use a noisegate first. Just tape it.

Getting a Caparison Dellinger Prominence has been on the bucket list for a while now. Eventually I'm gonna snag one. I remember seeing KSE rocking these guitars YEARS ago, like in the late 2000s. At least Joel was, I think Adam may have been playing a Parker back then. First time I ever saw a Caparison and loved how purpose built they looked, and was always a huge fan of the head-stock design. I've been able to play one on a couple of occasions and it always blew me away.

They are dynamic, there is not that annoying compression that active pickups are notorious for having. The tone controls work better. Newer EMGs like the Retro Active or Het Set may have no compression and tone controls with a better sweep than the traditional 81/85 but I am not familiar with them.

I agree with you. However. As much as I love Caparison guitars and KSE, Caparison guitars are worth twice the price of a production line Gibson at about $4k USD. Not a lot of people have that kind of money. So I don’t see the point in Caparison pushing Signature models because not many people can afford them. Therefore not many profits to be made.

[@kurtshirvinski836]

@@recipoldinasty it makes a pretty big difference, especially at first. Millimeters make massive differences in guitar specs. I go back and forth now but the first few months were rough. I picked up an older Schecter C1 Plus to pair with my C6 Omen Extreme a couple years ago and it was definitely a curve, same body shape, same neck carve, same fret size, same bridge, same price range, same setup, etc the only real difference is the C1 is 24.75 and it messed with my muscle memory at first. I almost had to completely retrain my hands to play parts I'd known for years on it because my hand naturally tried to reach where the fret would be on the 25.5 and I was constantly bending sharp or pushing barre chords sharp because the lesser tension and the next gauge up didn't exist back then. (I was playing Ernie Ball Not Even Slinkys in C Standard for reference, this was before Mammoth Slinky and such). It's all small stuff that's just slightly inconvenient enough to be annoying and a turn off. I personally like both but just playing devils advocate. I use the scale lengths for different parts, my 24.75s are all set up for leads and my 25.5s are pretty much all rhythm. I use stringjoy custom sets now too to compensate for the tension differences and really hone in how I want them to feel instead of relying on the inconsistent tension of Ernie Ball sets
