I am offering this rare 2011 Bacchus Classic Series BLP-CTM CR w/Bigsby

The Bacchus Classic Series BLP-CTM examples are fairly rare but the very few that that were made with a factory installed Bigsby B7, as this example, are very difficult to locate. Naturally this example never had stop tail stud holes drilled.

This example is in amazing clean and excellent condition.
The body and neck are constructed with African Mahogany. The fingerboard is Ebony.
The pickups are Mojotone Alnico 4 pickups; humbucker at the bridge and humbucker footprint P-90 at the neck.
Knobs are after market reflectors.
Other than the pickups and the knobs the guitar is otherwise original.

This Bacchus version of a Les Paul Custom was hand made in 2011 at the Deviser Aska workshop in Nagano prefecture, Matsumoto city, Japan. Deviser is the parent company of Bacchus, Headway, Momose, Seventy Seven, etc.
The build quality and the materials of this example rival and likely surpass anything produced by the 'Big G' brand.

Includes a very nice hard case with a three dial combo lock in excellent condition and the Mojotone pickup boxes/packaging.

Asking price is $1950 which includes shipping to any destination in the lower 48 US.
Open to offers; serious only, please.
Cheers

I decided to withdraw this example based on recent news from my source at Deviser.
Info is production of set neck examples at the Aska facility is at a crawl and may not improve for years.

They seem to be putting out tons of bolt on neck stuff ........
 
This is a rare one, for sure. I follow the Deviser offerings, and as the OP mentioned, Deviser seems to be enamored with the bolt on guitars. And, off shore builds. So, this one ain't getting made anymore!

Correct and on all points.

Earlier this year I asked Deviser about the potential for a custom order build. One of my sources at Deviser offered me the below info concerning their Gibson type, set neck guitars, back in April when I was looking to purchase a new set of Beano pickups. Deviser didn't even have a spare set of Beanos to offer. They kindly had their pickup vendor make a new set just for me, at my request.

Quote, "I'm sorry to inform you that we are not sure when we resume the custom order. Especially, the set-neck models, for instance, MES, ML, and MFV are in a serious situation. We are producing them even now for the pending orders we received before these models were discontinued, but the quantity we can build at once is much smaller than you expect and we think it will be more than 3 years until we complete the remaining units. This is why we had to remove the set-neck models from the product lineup. "

So, it looks like Gibson type set neck guitars from Deviser will be few and far between, at least for some time, or maybe never again. Who knows?
 
So, clearly that means my Momose, Seventy Sevens(5) and Bacchus will soon be soaring in value, sweet! (Yeah, sure)

that could be a possibility

I have purchased, owned, sold, etc. right at 60 Deviser builds over the past ~20 years.
Still own quite a few and they are fantastic guitars; IMO better than Tokai but then .............

I have a Momose MLS-STD/J from the original run, circa 2005, that I will never offer; it is THAT GOOD.

wish I had a few of these bad *** ******* ....................


IMHO anyone that is into MIJ and that has not discovered and explored the offerings of Deviser is shorting themselves as far as MIJ offerings; Deviser is the shizzzzzzzzzz ..................


MLS-STD J - no flash.jpg


and then there is THIS ONE ............ LOL ................. love IT ............... yeah Deviser .............
