【new】Capurso Guitars / Georgius Deluxe 5st 3.910kg【GIB Hyogo】

Capurso Guitars is a high-end brand based in Italy, handcrafting premium basses.

It is known for being trusted and cherished by many musicians, including Gabriele Costa and Giacomo Turra.

Instruments crafted by builder Andrea Capurso share a common thread: they are traditional, experimental, and musical.

He transforms brilliant concepts into tangible instruments through solid skill.

This model is the Georgius, featuring a beautiful single-cutaway body.

The body back uses Ash with a thin Rosewood veneer, while the top employs Burl Poplar.

Finished in a unique see-through color, it boasts a stunning appearance.

The finish is lacquer.

The neck is a 5-piece Rosewood and Ash construction.

The fingerboard uses Rosewood with a straight grain.

Weighing just 3.910kg, it is remarkably lightweight. This is achieved not through chambering, but simply by using high-quality wood.

While many models use Ash for the neck, Capurso's sense of it stands head and shoulders above the rest.

If you've never experienced an Ash neck, we urge you to try one from Capurso.

You're in for a surprise.

The pickups are dual-coil types from Italy's MAMA Pickups.

The acoustic design already features well-balanced string vibration, so the pickups simply output it clearly.

It's a truly beautiful design.

The preamp is a 3-band EQ from Italian Xander Electronics.

The bridge is a Hipshot Style B Alumi, and the tuners are also Hipshot Ultralite.

The sound is thick, wide in range, and smooth.

Its defining characteristic is a distinct attack that makes the onset of sound visible. This is a masterpiece we highly recommend bassists who excel at fast passages to try at least once.

European brands are gradually incorporating North American nuances, which could arguably lead to commoditization.

However, Capurso refuses to follow this trend, steadfastly pursuing its own unique path.

Within this approach, it achieves a refined balance, earning high global acclaim in the modern music scene.

We highly recommend giving it a try.
