Cool guitar Marcus! Love those Bacchus strats... I should never have sold mine. Very good price too!
JVsearch said:The term veneer is the one I've always heard and used, but I guess it has fallen out of favour because it alludes to one of the (at the time) undesirable design changes applied to the Fender Strat. However, people realised (or came to believe) that the veneer boards had a slightly different tone to the earlier slab boards and that this was a good tone (for some).

I defy anyone to tell the difference in sound in a blindfolded test.

Exactly.... it's their version..... it's not a historical reproduction. I love the neck on the white one.... it's fairly chunky like a 65 and nothing like a 62.
On that note, on the Bacchus 62, for those of you who have or have played one, do they have the slim profile that the Fender 62's do?
Do the Bacchus 50's strats have correct V neck profiles?

That link to the one on Yahoo japan looks nice, I've never liked 3TSB, but with a tortoise shell scratchplate it looks really good!
