Big Tone in a Small Package

Compact Size, Full-Scale Attitude

The Capri-23 blends compact form, modern styling, and full-scale tone - perfect for all ages and abilities. Whether you're starting out, downsizing, or travelling light, the Capri-23 delivers impressive tone, feel, and value in one sleep design.

Lightweight, Smooth & Player-Focused

Built to Play: Comfort, Control & Craftsmanship

A 40mm poplar body keeps things lightweight without losing resonance, paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard for stability and smooth feel. The C-shape neck, matte finish, and 350mm radius make it instantly comfortable across all 20 frets.
The 596mm short scale boasts comfort - ideal for younger players or long sessions - while stainless steel frets, black dot inlays, and a double-action truss rod ensures durability and easy upkeep.

Punchy Pickup, Rock-Solid Hardware

Sound, Style & Ready-to-Go Reliability

The PP Alnico pickup delivers warm, clear, balanced tone across genres from indie to funk. With 1 Volume / 1 Tone simplicity, it's truly plug-and-play.
Reliable hardware - mini bass bridge with copper saddle, chrome control knobs, and die-cast tuners - keep tuning stable and performance ready.
Every Capri-23 comes with a padded Ashdown gigbag.
