With gold prices up 30% over the last few months it might be a better investment :lol:
Nah - Personally I don't think gold suits a strat.

JohnA said:I just measured the resistance on both my Bacchi pictured above, one set, on the sunburst one are pretty hot, similar to Mikes, the other (which only has 2 Yutas, measure 6.33 middle and bridge 6.35.
Both sound great though!! and both look exactly the sam, top and bottom.
Does anyone know if one might be Bacchus Vintage and one Yuta? If so which would be which?
throstur said:My Bacchus BST-62 came with the newer/hotter Texas Special sounding pickups. I just dont like hot pickups, so I put in a set of Seymour Duncan Antiquity II "Surf" pickups.
This guitar is now my favorite Strat. It smokes any other Strat I have owned or played and I have had a few. Among them a original 1964 Fender and a Eric Johnson Strat I sold after I got the Bacchus! I just didn?t touch the EJ after I got the Bacchus going.
Maybe someone can spell out the main difference between the BST-64 and the BST-62. I know the ?62 has a slab board and probably always the hotter type YUTAS. What else is different?
MIJvintage said:I supplied quite a bit of detail to the thread, a puzzle if you will so, maybe you could consider some of what I offered when you question the two Bacchus that you have questions about.
What details are you really offering here, just to find out what you want to know? .......................
MIJvintage said:The current owner (and TF member) of this BST-62 in LPBM pictured below, had similar praise for his Bacchus.
This one has a 128*** serial, which yours should be in that ballpark ........
The poles are beveled = Yuta-VS-2.
The ones you removed should be as these.
Again, thicker pup lead wire than the earlier Alnico Special & cut close = no extra length.
One black wire to the trem, one black wire grounded to body, and the jack connection concealed in a larger black insulator.
This is all Yuta set-up :wink:
JohnA said:All I am saying is I am a bit confused :-? Of the two Bacchus guitars I have, you said they both look like the older pickups, but the resistance shows the S/B one has a lot hotter pickups than the white one, which implies they are different. Mikes are even hotter still.
I was certain that the white guitar had the newer Yuta's, but the info here suggests that these should be hotter than the old ones, the readings from both mine and Mikes suggest the opposite.
I'll take a look at the sunburst guitar, which I'm sure has never been touched, maybe that'll help me understand a bit better.
Cheers
throstur said:I will be happy to measure the resistance in my Yutas, will not be able to do it until sometimes next week because I?m travelling. I am 99,9% sure they are the original pups installed into this guitar new. The serial number is 126***, so it should help you to figure things out. These picups sound HOT, very much like the Fender Texas Specials IMO.

btmish said:I would be happy to measure mine as well. How does one go about doing that? Anyway, I have a 00XXXX numbered strat as well as a 6 digit one. I always heard that the newer ones were supposed to be hotter, yet it always seemed to my uneducated ears that my 00XXXX, which supposedly has the older pickups, sounded "hotter" than my newer "yutas"
