"The Caparison Guitar company was established in 1995 by former Jackson/Charvel Japan designer Itaru Kanno and was owned by Kyowa Shokai, a company that made contracts with factories to produce guitars for them (like Hoshino Gakki). In May 2011 Kyowa Shokai was declared bankrupt, however Caparison resumed production in September 2011 under the ownership of Caparison Guitar Company Ltd. The company retains Itaru Kanno as lead designer and the instruments contiune to manufactured together with Iida Music Co. in Nagoya, Japan." - Википедия.
Выходит, о банкротстве объявили в мае 2011, но в сентябре возобновилось производство. И компания ныне именуется и принадлежит сама себе Caparison Guitar Company Ltd. - для тех, кто не дружит с англ.яз.
Читаем хронологию на приведённом тобой форуме :
2011 – May 2011, Kyowa Shokai goes bankrupt. Caparison’s start to disappear from the racks in Japanese guitar stores as they liquidate all their inventory and no longer taking orders for guitars. Panic ensues with rumours of the company going under. No word from Kyowa Shokai or Caparison Guitars with regards to what’s going on for months. Official word is finally released on 12Oct2011 by Itaru Kanno, announcing what has happened and it’s new owners, Caparison Guitars Company Ltd., also known as Cranes, the dealer/distributer for the UK region.
Вроде же английским языком написано, что новые хозяева, это компания Крэйнс из Великобритании.
