Here are some pics of the Bacchus strat I bought on my trip. The designation is BST-118, which I gather is not a very common model. Pics are not very high-res as they were taken with my iPhone:
The Bacchus is in amazing shape. It has one very small pinead ding through the finish on the top just in front of the end strap button. Other than that, just a very small amount of surface scratching that is impossible to photograph due to the finish. I was on the fence about this guitar as, even though I liked the look of it, I hadn't heard of the model. But TJ did a bit of digging for me (thanks!) and I realized it was a pretty good deal for what I paid.
And a bonus shot of my Edwards JP I picked up as well. I almost left without it again, until I picked it up. What a LIGHT guitar!!!
There were lots of Tokais to be had on this trip and I was really thinking about a Junior DC or a Goldtop with p90s (didn't see one), but two juniors I saw weren't great - little finish flaws and such. On the white one, it had a nasty and easily seen through the finish join in the wood. Anyways, lots of high end models available with awesome looking tops, but HEAVY HEAVY!
I saw the usual suspects - a few Grecos, a few Burnys, a few OBG's, tons of PRS, Fender from everywhere, and Gibsons. The only older Tokai I saw was a ST-50 Goldie in good shape for about 49,000 yen. I might have bought it if I didn't already buy the Bacchus.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchases on this trip!!!
