That is incorrect.JohnA said:A Vintage series BSG should have an inked S/N.
JohnA said:I must have seen 20 examples of vintage series guitars with S/N's and none without.

Oh well, I guess that proves it conclusively then. :lol:
I've seen about 7 or 8 with no serial number.

Can you show me one? with some proof it's a vintage series? I'm more than happy to be proved wrong.
JohnA said:I have seen plenty of Japanese Bacchi with Japanese pots and no S/N with certificates showing model numbers, the only guitars I have seen with vintage series model number designations on the certificates have had serial numbers.
I have also seen guitars WO S/N's built to vintage series specs, but never seen one of these with a certificate indicating it's a vintage seties guitar.
JVsearch, if you can show me ONE photo of a vintage series guitar WO S/N and with certificate showing it's a vintage series I'll gladly accept I'm wrong
marcusnieman said:Interesting thread.....
In the most simple observation, the guitar DOES look pretty straight to me (other than the open coil pickups) as a legit Bacchus.... I personally have not seen a single Fakus ever. Is the discussion whether it's a vintage series or perhaps something like the new classic series?
marcusnieman said:Were there Vintage Series and non Vintage Series SG's? Again, what's the difference between them other than the V in the model number??
Vintage Series strats stand out from the others because of the obvious.... nitro, correct headstock, etc.
JohnA said:There is no doubt it's a Bacchus, made in Japan and probably in terms of construction exactly the same as a vintage series, but does that make it a Vintage series? The model designation in this case BSG-68V on a non-vintage series SG would be something like BSG-120 i.e. the Yen price and not the year with a 'V' suffix.
to repeat myself:
I've had a lot of Bacchi through my hands with the original certificates, some with 'V' suffixes on the model designations and some without, in EVERY case the 'V''s have had serial nimbers, Strats, Tele's, SG's (see three pics in second post), Les Pauls and one Vee (does that make it a VeeV)
I have NEVER seen a V model without a S/N
Now I know that isn't proof, but neither is an email from someone who works for Deviser, I'm not stating I'm right or you're wrong, just that I would love to see some hard evidence to did-prove my theory that ALL vintage series had serial no's.
I know Bacchus issued certificates with model numbers on guitars without serials so surely there must be one somewhere?
