Ooh! It's the Ovation Breadwinner given the Superstrat treatment!

Well, it's actually a Caparison Stevie Salas prototype from 1999 and is currently being offered for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $1,999 and a Buy It Now price of $2,700. As you might expect with such a rare guitar it's expensive, but it does have the cool factor.

Caparison Dellinger Chris Amott Signature

On the comments of the previous post we've been debating about what is a superstrat. For me this Caparison Dellinger is a perfect example: based on Leo Fender's 1954 double cutaway design, it has its horns elongated while the back on the guitar stays classic, and the headstock is pointy because a superstrat has to be pointy. The main pickup is the bridge humbucker, the trem is a Floyd Rose, there are only two knobs, and there are 24 frets on the neck.

You don't take risks with such a guitar, it's tasteful though a little bit boring, and you can play plenty of notes very fast with it I assume.
