[Act] Fs: Mint Caparison Angelus Hgs Pro Black Gsm $1500 Ono


Recommended Posts

Hey guys and girls, I've gotta sell one of my electric guitars to make way for other financial commitments. I suspected this might happen in advance, therefore it's had very little play (to keep it in mint condition). It's a Caparison Angelus, all I've done is chuck some slightly heavier gauge strings on (11.5 16 26 36 46 60). The strings they put on it when they ship are ridiculously light for something meant to tune to B standard. (It holds any tuning just fine if you use the appropriate strings).

It comes in the standard Caparison hard case. I'm in the ACT but would be willing to ship within Australia. Obviously a local sale would be preferable. If I have to ship it, I'll slack the strings off, and I still have the double box used to ship it to me from Japan originally, so it'll be packed insanely well.

I'm looking for $1500 Or Near Offer (which will include shipping within AU). I paid $2200 for it from a shop a coupla months ago, so bare this in mind if you like to 'haggle'.

These are the same guitars used by the Swedish metal band Soilwork (my heroes!). It's the same kind of model that Peter Wichers uses on the "Young Guitar" demonstrations (you can find this on youtube). All he did was chuck an EMG81 in it (but the stock pickups sound insanely beefy to me). I will be sorry to see this go :(

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
