I have decided to edit this opening letter and take out errors and misleading information which have being pointed out to me during this thread Didn?t know better at the time.
Some months ago I bought a Bacchus ?59 clone made probably in 1999. I had been lurking on the Internet for a long time because I had heard many good things about Bacchus. I had rather high expectations.. BUT was I in for a surprise!! It even exceeded my expectations. It weights 9 lbs 7 oz. It?s handmade I am told, 17? degree headstock angle, long neck tenon, one piece back, laminated book matched hard maple top, nickel hardware, aluminium tailpiece, excellent pickups very good sustain. No fret end bindings. I have tried all kinds of standard, classic, reissue, custom e.t.c. Gibson's and non of them comes close to this guitar IMO. I have not tried the very expensive Custom Shop Historic Gibson's or the old Bursts but they have to be pretty damned good to catch the workmanship and playability of this one. I have nice picures of it on my PC, but I can?t figure out how to insert pitures here.
