    craft series versus the G-player's

    I just posted in the 'other' section. I'm in the market for a nice strat and would like to know the difference between the new BST-62 craft guitars and the new G-player axes. The g-players seem to have the SCC-1 PUPs, so how do these compare to the yuta's? I can't wait to oer a new...

    Bacchus BST-62. Couple of questions before I buy

    Hey there, well, I realize I require a quality single coil axe. I played a gig last week and used a Gadow single coil - sick tone. I then played a super cheap Vintage icon v6 yesterday and was blown away by the tone coming from the amp. I think the guitar gods are trying to tell me something...

    Bacchus Electronics - as good Tokais?

    thanks, but what about the electronics? How's the volume and taper on these guitars? Comparable to a PRS? What about these yuta pups, I assume they are PAFish in tone. What's the output like? More articulate then BB's of classic 57's?? thks, p

    Bacchus Electronics - as good Tokais?

    Hello, I've been looking at some beautiful looking Bacchus LP's, but I can't seem to determine what's in these guitars for pot, caps, etc... Are the MIJ Bacchus guitars using electronics and PUPs that are comparable to what would be in, oh let's say a Tokai LS230? Thanks for your input...

    LS145s - Neck Profile Question

    Hello, I'm seriously considering purchasing an LS145s GT, but I'm wondering about the neck profile. Generally, do these models possess a profile similar to that of a Gibson R6? I hope so. After playing an R6 two months ago, I immediately started lusting for a thick neck guitar. Also, what...
