Hi guys...can anyone fill me on the basic make-up, quality, etc. on the Bacchus BLS-600 Les Paul guitars??? Chinese made, right???

[Diodibuh]

yes, chinese. unfortunatelly I have only japan bacchus so can't tell you any more info.

Are all Chinese guitars that bad??? Seems to me that most of the people I meet in the medical schools and hospitals these days are young, aspiring Chinese students that are brilliant and very resourceful and creative...I just have a hard time with the generalization that all Chinese products are sub-standard. Is it that the materials are significantly lower grade or that the labor is poor? I know it's cheaper, but that was the wrap on Korean instruments when they first started being shipped there for production...now, most Korean made instruments rival their American counterparts in quality of both parts and labor.

I have had a BLS-700 model, they are not bad, they are mid range quality guitars, with a good set of humbucker, it could sound good.
They are far from the japanese model but correct for the price.

Well, I have to say that those veneer tops that I have seen on both the 600 and 700 models are really nice...are they real veneers or photo tops?
