hi man... since you travel a lot to japan... i want to ask you if you ever play with a caparison guitar... they are from japan and many of my fave bands like soilwork, arch enemy, evergrey, freak kitachen play with caparison guitars... i think they look great and the sound is very good...in solos they're very melodic and when you play hard stuff they sound great... also... can you tell me what amount of yens is 1000u$s???? (i think yen is the name of their coin...like peso is the name of our in argentina)
