We have seen an increase in the sale of fake Caparison guitars recently being sold or traded as the genuine article.

We are also aware of eBay sellers that are buying guitars in Japan and selling internationally at inflated prices as new.

Guitars will not be regarded as new for warranty purposes unless bought through an authorised Caparison dealer, and the best way to ensure that you are buying a genuine Caparison at the right price is also to go through an authorised Caparison dealer.

A full list of authorised dealers can be found on our website.
