TAT Special 7 FM

Caparison's 7-string TAT-Special 7 FM is a constantly evolving flagship design, tailored to meet the standards of the perfect guitar. Its line has recently been upgraded to feature Jescar stainless steel jumbo frets for a crisper note attack and Australian blackwood body wings combined with a stunning flame maple top for a full, rich note bloom and sustain.

As part of the Through and Through ethos, the TAT Special 7 FM boasts a neck through body construction with a 5-piece maple/walnut neck and matte surface for a consistently comfortable feel throughout its 27 fret range. This combination of woods ensures not only superior sound quality but also stability and reliability.

To complement its exceptional build, the TAT-Special 7 FM features Caparison's original PH7-bm bridge pickup and PH7-nm neck pickup. Its control setup is practical and straightforward with the Caparison original Rotary Switch Mode allowing for four different pickup combinations, from more vintage leaning to modern sounding results.

Available in three striking finishes - Moonlight, Aqua Burst, and Rose Burst - the TAT-Special 7 FM showcases the beauty of its construction with natural sides and back highlighting the grain of the woods used. This electric guitar is truly a top-tier instrument that any serious musician would love to add to their collection.

Master luthier and head designer, Itaru Kanno notes that Australian Blackwood is perfectly suited to Caparison’s guitar designs, known for its rich and warm tone, with a moderate low-end response, and is said to be suitable for various musical genres. By adopting Australian Blackwood for the TAT-Special FM body, the warm and rich tone of the wood can be enjoyed in addition to the visual beauty of the flame maple grain pattern.

Custom Switching

The TAT Special features a rotary switch mode. When the 3-way pickup switch is in the center, the 4-position rotary switch selects the active pickup combination (see diagram). In the bridge or neck positions, the rotary switch is disabled, and the selected pickup outputs in humbucking mode.

Through and Through

The Caparison through-neck is engineered for speed, comfort, and fatigue-free play, while its seamless design maximizes sustain and resonance. This unique construction takes full advantage of a neck-through design: the natural curve of the body top serves as the neck angle, bringing the neck closer to the player. The result is a more natural playing posture, especially when reaching higher frets beyond the 12th. A slanted neck joint heel further enhances playability, ensuring effortless access to the upper register.
