TAT Special FX "Metal Machine" CL,
Adam Dutkiewicz Signature

The Limited-edition Custom Line TAT Special FX ‘Metal Machine’, elegant, exceptional, brutal and beautiful.

While the original Adam Dutkiewicz signature model comes as a stripped-down, high octane hot rod, the new Custom Line model offers all of the ‘shiny side up’ top-shelf upgrades, but with the same need for speed, power-house muscle under the hood. The single Killswitch signature Fluence humbucker (of the original model) is now complimented with the addition of a single coil Fluence SSA at the neck.  A three-way rotary switch provides the pickup selections and a push pull volume control accesses the dual voicing modes.

The select flame maple top combined with an Australian Blackwood back provides the Custom Line Metal Machine with a distinct character and tonality. It has a sweet and focused midrange, with a clear and punchy low end topped off with a glassy high-end shimmer. A 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck and through body stringing adds rock-solid stability with increased projection and sustain.

The Caparison Custom Line TAT-Special FX Metal Machine is unleashed

Custom Switching

The Killswitch signature Fluence humbucker is complimented with a single coil Fluence SSA. A three-way rotary switch provides the pickup selections and a push pull volume control accesses the dual voicing modes.

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.

Caparison Neck Profile

Play faster, smoother, and longer with Caparison’s ergonomic neck grip. Designed for effortless left-hand movement, it features subtle contouring for natural thumb shifts—flatter near the nut, gradually curving toward the body. With a moderate thickness for comfort and stability, it’s built for fatigue-free performance.
