Hi all, saw this on hisahi's a few days ago. It's a black oil bacchus duke, but the truss rod cover has 3 screws!. I thought dukes were MIJ, has something suddenly changed? :).

Hehe, so both guitars are amazing? :D Does anyone know what the necks are light on either of them?. I'm used to a modern fender C-shape (nicely thin but definitely not wizard-thin). Do bacchus/ornettes use big chunky necks or are they fairly slim?. And how do the pickups weigh in?.I've heard...

It's not like he uses it in all of his product pics or anything like that :D.

Hi all, someone is offering me an ornettes les paul for 1495$. Can anyone tell me what these are like?. I've never heard of ornettes before and can find any info on them. Does anyone know the specs?. Or have any experience with them?. I'm also looking at a bacchus BLS-59...

oh wow, 18 replies on a thread started by a newb, i like this place ;).... Didnt know that about laminated tops (that they can shrink/seperate) and that is kinda worrying :|. To be honest, it's not that i wanted a fully flamed maple cap for dirt cheap, i'd just prefer a cap with average grain...

Oh wow, that edwards looks very impressive. Why cant i ever find guitars like that :). thanks for the suggestion!. Definitely have to look into these . Does anyone have much experience with their quality control? Much chance of getting a lemon?. And Oze, I'm in ireland. Not too bad for buying...

Marshall amp designs are great!. Some of the best rock/blues tones ever, from hendrix to page to slash, were achieved with marshall amps.... Unfortunately, these days......they kinda suck :| Their amps are overpriced and their newer designs cant compare with the old plexis and original...

Hi all, new to the forums. I've been trying to find a good les paul clone with these features... 1. mahogany body. 1 piece, 2 piece whatever. Just not crap quality. 2. Full thickness maple cap. Dont care about flame/quilt, and i'd rather a plain top then a photo top. 3. Long neck tenon. 4...
