Capurso Guitars is a high-end brand based in Italy that produces high-quality, handmade guitars.
While not yet well known in Japan, their guitars are beloved by guitar influencers such as Ermanno Carl', Giacomo Turra, and Maurizio Filardo.
The instruments crafted by builder Andrea Capurso are all traditional, experimental, and musical.
He brings brilliant concepts to life with his solid skills.
This model is the LIGHT STRAT EFFE DELUXE, featuring a double-cutaway body and semi-hollow construction.
Although it has a double-cutaway style, it has no pickguard, giving it a modern look.
The body back is made of mahogany and the top is made of maple, a rare Les Paul-like combination for this style.
The semi-hollow body with F-holes gives it a distinctive sound that's somewhere between a solid body and an acoustic guitar, combining just the right amount of resonance and tightness.
The body top is a beautiful metallized green, a color rarely seen in Japan, while the back is a natural color that brings out the wood grain.
Like traditional models, it's finished with a lacquer finish, which will deepen with age.
It's an instrument that will look forward to seeing change over time.
The fingerboard's dot inlays are abalone, and the body is bound, giving it a simple yet luxurious feel.
The neck is made of walnut, and the fingerboard is Indian rosewood.
The black, undulating rosewood grain highlights the high-quality wood used.
The guitar is equipped with two original humbucking pickups.
The sound is fat, clear, and brilliant.
The pickups are coil-tapable, allowing them to be used as single coils.
The wide variety of sounds is appealing.
The bridge uses a Gotoh two-point support tremolo unit.
This is an unusual specification, as hollow-body models often use tremolo bridges like those from BIGSBY.
European brands are gradually incorporating North American influences, which could lead to commoditization.
However, Capurso refuses to follow this trend, instead sticking to its own unique path.
Within this framework, it has achieved a refined balance that has earned it high praise worldwide in the modern music scene.
Please give it a try. We recommend it.
