Bacchus "Classic" BLP-STD FM/R Classic Japan Made by the fine folks at the Deviser Company in Nagano, Japan (also home of the Momose and Headway brands).
The quality control and precision of the Deviser builds is impressive. This is a made-in-Japan Bacchus LP-style in the Craft series from 2015 but still under the “Classic” logo and with teh open book headstock Some of the specs of these have changed since the 2010-12 classic. - Nitro topcoat over a thin poly sealer base - Long tenon, one piece neck - Flame-maple veneer top (NOTE: I sanded away some shielding paint in the pickup cavities to confirm) on maple with a 2-piece African Mahogany back. - The neck profile is a bit slimmer than the older Classics. I’d call it a 59 or similar - Weighs 9 lbs/4.1 kg. - Pickups are BHH ceramic bridge (higher resistance) , BHV-A5 alnico neck (vintage resistance). - PIO caps, aluminum tailpiece - Just some light surface scratches that can easily polish out, one sand-grain size chip near the toggle switch and some finish chips on the lower side (see photos) - Comes with the sturdy Bacchus gigbag and original warranty card. - Frets and neck are in excellent condition. Will ship extremely well padded and protected for the journey.
The guitar body and hardware have some light playing wear. There are some light scratches, tiny dents and small finish chips. See the pictures for some indications. This is not a brand new guitar but is in excellent playing and cosmetic condition.
Please look at all the photos and hit me with any questions before purchase. Thanks for looking!
