PeteKay said:Hi Guys,
I've the possibility to buy a Bacchus BST-57V strat. from 2000 (with the Bacchus AlnicoII Pickups).
Do you think 900 USD is a fair price?
Cheers, Peter
PeteKay said:Yes it is! Are you the seller?
PeteKay said:Thanks, i've read many good story's about this guitar (on this forum). it only looks like everyone with a Bacchus has a BST-62V, and not an BST-57V, so I'm really curious.
I've a ' 60 reissue (tokai goldstar) already, but I was still looking for a ' 50 strat, and especially this colour with maple neck.

PeteKay said:Yes indead. He (Andrew) have only one Bacchus still in his collection, a BST62 from 2002 with the Yuta pickups.
I think he will wait a few years before he will sell his Van Zands, saddly.
It's a matter of taste I think. For '50 strats i prefer Maple, for '60 strats Rosewood.the BST-57V was serial 002220, which if it were a rose' board, I would have latched onto that one but maple; I pass........
So it look's like your 0022** strat is made in the same week or month as the mine.... That's accidentalof the 20 or so Bacchus I have owned I still have my two 64V models; a 0022** & a 0025** serialed example

OK, I think i don't understanded you on the last post. My english is not so good.MIJvintage said:I've played and owned a tone of Strats, in many brands, and prefer the round lam' neck rose' boards
the tonal repsonse resides between a maple neck & a slab board neck; great tonal balance, IMO
Why do you prefer the <003000 serials, is that because the Bacchus handwounded pickups?I used to collect the under 010000 serial numbered example Bacchus BST models but now I'm concentrating on the under 003000 ones now
Yes, I bought it from him, it's a friendly guy.so, you purchased the sonic blue 57V, from Andrew?

Yes, I bought it from him, it's a friendly guy.
But it needs to ship from the US to the Netherlands, cost me a lot of $$$ , but so it is. It will be probably the only Bacchus vintage strat in Holland
