Boasting full-throttle sound and boutique Japanese craftsmanship, the Caparison Guitars Dellinger MF packs a serious wallop. This solidbody electric guitar brandishes a sleek double-cut body carved from solid Australian blackwood. Its ergonomic 5-piece neck is crowned with a lightning-fast conical-radius maple fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets. A flexible H-S-S pickup configuration outfits you with an efficient balance of beauty and aggression, with a 5-way blade and push-pull tone control to unlock the full scope of humbucker and single-coil sounds. The Dellinger MF gives you near-bulletproof tuning stability, thanks to a set of Gotoh H.A.P. tuning machines, while its Schaller FRT double-locking tremolo enables you to unleash your arsenal of whammy-abusing pitch pyrotechnics. Furthermore, the Dellinger MF is a serious head-turner, sporting Caparison's trademark clock fingerboard inlays, white binding on its headstock and fingerboard, and a spotlight-ready gloss polyurethane finish. When it comes to full-force sound and uncompromising quality, the Caparison Guitars Dellinger MF stands tall among the fiercest competition.

Unparalleled electronics





Ask any Sweetwater guitarist about Caparison instruments, and they'll tell you the same thing: these axes sound undeniably incredible. Not one to settle for anything less than perfection, Caparison added its one-of-a-kind pickup system to the Dellinger MF, covering everything from thunderous metal to the twang and spank of a single-coil. The Caparison PH-bc in the bridge churns out a full, warm sound with crisp, clear highs. The PH-bc covers a wide range of heavy sounds; it can conquer complex chords, laser-precise leads, and full-on sonic decimation with equal assurance. The combination of an SH-NC and VS-IA single-coil pickups gives the Dellinger MF a sound all its own, with a 5-way blade and push-pull tone control to unlock crystal-clean single-coil sounds, high-output humbucker tones, and everything in between.





Schaller double-locking trem





When it comes to a quality locking tremolo, there are several requirements it needs to meet: excellent tuning stability, long-lasting sustain, and killer squeals and deep-sea dives. The Dellinger MF's Schaller FRT double-locking tremolo does all of this and more, with an impressively tight response that goes hand in hand with this guitar's super-shredder design. With its bends, twists, turns, and everything in between, you're guaranteed exceptional expression from a Schaller double-locking trem.
