No, but I was pretty close to buying it for 1k last week. That is a sweet looking machine. I have two bacchus strats and they are sweet guitars. I wish I could afford some more, but alas, I "should" be saving and paying off some debt first. Good luck with it!
P.S. Sent you a P.M.
Thanks, i've read many good story's about this guitar (on this forum). it only looks like everyone with a Bacchus has a BST-62V, and not an BST-57V, so I'm really curious.
I've a ' 60 reissue (tokai goldstar) already, but I was still looking for a ' 50 strat, and especially this colour with maple neck.

Yea, what a beauty. He had such a nice collection of guitars, they are about all gone now. I really wanted to get one of his collection, but, that was about the last one that really enthused me. Unless he comes off the Van Zandts!

MIJ seems to go for the BST-64's. I really like my 62. It is not the vintage series, but, it is usually my go-to strat, and it has some tough competition including a vintage series SRV, a PGM Moon, and a 76 Fender.

the BST-57V was serial 002220, which if it were a rose' board, I would have latched onto that one but maple; I pass........
of the 20 or so Bacchus I have owned I still have my two 64V models; a 0022** & a 0025** serialed example
It's a matter of taste I think. For '50 strats i prefer Maple, for '60 strats Rosewood.
So it look's like your 0022** strat is made in the same week or month as the mine.... That's accidentalof the 20 or so Bacchus I have owned I still have my two 64V models; a 0022** & a 0025** serialed example

That's just as well, since 50s Strats have maple boards, and 59 to mid 60s have rosewood.

I've played and owned a tone of Strats, in many brands, and prefer the round lam' neck rose' boards
the tonal repsonse resides between a maple neck & a slab board neck; great tonal balance, IMO
I used to collect the under 010000 serial numbered example Bacchus BST models but now I'm concentrating on the under 003000 ones now
so, you purchased the sonic blue 57V, from Andrew?

OK, I think i don't understanded you on the last post. My english is not so good.MIJvintage said:
Why do you prefer the <003000 serials, is that because the Bacchus handwounded pickups?
Yes, I bought it from him, it's a friendly guy.
But it needs to ship from the US to the Netherlands, cost me a lot of $$$ , but so it is. It will be probably the only Bacchus vintage strat in Holland

just personal preference & more of a challenge; as if obtaining the higher numbered ones is easy :wink:
It would be nice to snag one of the very early ones with Fralins, which are extremely rare
I know of one in CA that has the Fralins; a sunburst BST-64V, with a 0014** serial 8)
Nice snag on the sonic blue 57V; if you like maple you will love that Strat
