    Bacchus-BLP-STD-H...what's the deal on these?

    Hello, Well, I haven't posted here in years. I've strayed away from the MIJ stuff after getting hooked on music man guitars. Well, I'm back!! A local guitar shop has in stock what they are calling a "Bacchus-BLP-STD-H"...basically she looks like a faded Gibson R8 - a real beaut. Are these...

    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...

    What sort of pickups are in Tokai's HLS-160?

    I'm just about ready to purchase a new Tokai, as the wife has given the green light!! It's between an LS-150 or the new HLS-160; however, I can't seem to ascertain what sort of pickups are in the HLS-160. The Mk2's? As well, the HLS 160 has a flamed top. Would this be a solid maple cap, or a...

    In the market for a MIJ goltop. Some questions

    Hello, I'm back in the market for a goldtop axe with p-90's. Question, how do the p-90's in the bacchus duke master compare in tone to a LS-160 or gibson R6? as well, are the bacchus Duke's on par in terms of quality to the tokai LS-160's? Also, what about the edwards goltops, are any of...

    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...

    LSS88

    What's the deal on this p-90 equipped guitar - is that nice looking finish nitro or poly? also, would an Edwards Goldtop (with long tenon) be better value for money? I've yet to buy a MIJ p-90 guitar. Choices, choices!!!! -prsman

    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...

    A MIJ Tokai with p-90's: Wanted

    hello, I have a sweet sounding Gibson Lp faded (chambered with burstbuckers). I love the sound of this, but I'm still in need of a p-90 equipped guitar. I'm interested in a well made GT, but don't want to spend $2,500-$3,000 on an r6 or r4. I'm super-interested in either a LS 85 GT or an LS...

    in need of a p-90 guitar

    hello, I need a P-90 equipped guitar. Some Questions on a couple of models: 1. Tokai LS175-SYW(Les paul Special copy): Is this guitar made in Japan? How would these p-90 PUP's compare to Gibson's? 2. Duke Master: How does this axe compare in terms of quality to that of a gibson? ARe...

    Sold my Edwards JP Relic & bought a Gibson Faded Standar

    My JP relic had good sustain, but not as much as my Gibson - that I'm certain of. Important to note as well, my old Epi standard (with bone nut and Seymour 59s) possessed more sustain then both the Edwards and Gibson. As a result, this whole long and short tenon thing is a non-issue for me, as...

    Sold my Edwards JP Relic & bought a Gibson Faded Standar

    That's funny, I automatically assumed my JP relic that I sold was chambered due to both the weight and sound of it. After playing these chambered gibsons I must say chambering is a good thing. You see, I compared my friend's mint 1992 Gibson classic to my new faded. Both my friend and I...

    Sold my Edwards JP Relic & bought a Gibson Faded Standar

    First of all, I really enjoyed the Edwards, for the money spent it is good value for money; however, my new 2007 Gibson les paul sounds much, much better!! Both guitars are chambered and are a pleasure to play for this reason, but I must say the Gibson sounds more vibrant and packs more volume...
