Bacchus strat are very nice. Only thing is all the ones I've tried have C or U necks and I like V necks. In fact most japanese made strats I have tried have c or U necks. Only Tokai fit my taste. :)
 
Thanks Ned. :D An excellent addition to this fine forum.

My contribution - I believe it's a BST-64V as it has a cap board. The neck is really too fat for me, but I'm reluctant to let it go as it's such a high quality guitar, it feels and sounds like it should have cost at least twice as much as they usually sell for. Big, fat, warm sound - excellent pickups too.

I still prefer the slimmer neck on a RW board Goldie though. :lol:

I don't think it's Lake Placid Blue, so maybe Ocean Turquoise?

The maple necked Bacchus Strat's have big old V necks, I have a BST-54V and a BST-57-V both have nice big V profiles just like the originals they copy. The RW boards have C profiles, again true to 62 or 64 Strats.

The 60s Strats I've tried have all had necks closer to the profile of a Goldstar - a fair bit slimmer than a Bacchus. I'm sure there were fatter ones too, I just haven't come across them.
 
Thanks Ned for the new Bacchus section, I'm sure it will generate alot of interest in these not-so-vintage Japanese masterpieces!!

Here's my little Bacchus collection, Three Strats, a white, factory relic BST-57V, an Ocean Turquoise BST-64V, and a 2T sunburst BST-54V, that's actulally currently jointly owned between myself & Diodibuh :wink:

And my latest addition a BSL-59V Les Paul, that's is a fantastic guitar, and the lightest LP I've ever played weighing in at a tiny 7 1/2 pounds!!

Tricky question, I've just been playing my 1979 LS80 Goldtop, and it definetely has something the Bacchus doesn't! They are all great guitars though, I wouldn't say any of my LP's are 'better' than any of the others, but the weight of the bacchus is great news for my poor old back :wink:
 
Hey Arkay, Guess I bought one just in time for the new category!!! :D
