Sneaky - AFAIK all the MIJ had noble pots and the Live Road series was MIJ.

I have seen a lot of Bacchus guitars, and own the ones I liked...everyone I have ever seen had Noble pots... or US made pots on some limited runs, like my Muddy Waters tele. Can`t speak for all Bacchus guitars, haven`t seen them all...and mine are all from the original series.

Are we talking about the same Noble pots as seen in early 80s Terada Burny?s?

Jacco - I know you're a pot man.

This one's from my bacchus LP gold top. I've also checked my strat, tele and SG and they all use noble pot's. My old deviser momose strat didn't use noble pot's.

Sneaky - thanks - it does seem probable that all of the MIJ bacchi that aren't special orders use noble pot's ......

Even with a former headstock break (when well repaired) it's a good deal; looks like an early MIJ Bacchus.

yes I'll come out and say it that the guy wants about $750 for it. A great deal if its working fine and as good as it looks.

This guy also has a Navigator AS100 335 style guitar that is a serious babe too. God China is gonna be good
