Bacchus is a Japanese brand based in Nagano.
It is a brand under Divider, which owns a large guitar factory called Asuka Factory, and the high quality of the products, which comes from the factory itself, is appreciated by many musicians.
This model is a WOODLINE model of the Japan Tune-up series, which was newly created with the aim of high quality.
The Japan Tune-up series uses a method of manufacturing overseas, and adjusting the nut and filing the frets domestically.
This aims to keep the price low while keeping the quality high, and to be comparable to the top quality Japanese products in every aspect.
I actually saw the work being done at Divider's workshop in Nagano, and the way each guitar is carefully finished is no different from the top-of-the-line HANDMADE series.
The WL-5 is already a popular model, and its high quality is highly regarded.
This newly released model has a gorgeous quilted maple body top.
As you can see from the looks, it's hard to believe it's in this price range. I was surprised.
It's not something that would normally happen, but I think it's great that Divider can make such innovations.
The neck is also made of roasted maple.
Roasted maple is a wood that has acquired strong stability by treating it at high temperatures to evaporate the moisture and oils inside the wood.
It is said that it was originally a building material for Finnish saunas, and is particularly resistant to high temperatures and humidity.
Bacchus has many passive models, but this AC model is equipped with an active circuit.
By making full use of the 2-band EQ for treble and bass, it is possible to create a powerful sound.
The super smooth feel of the guitar is characteristic of this brand, and the sound is also smooth.
Roasted maple is characterized by its smooth attack and mature sound, and this model is no exception.
Specifications like this are not usually used in this price range.
You can get a powerful sound while still having a smooth response.
It's comfortable to play, and you'll want to play this instrument for a long time.
An exceptional product with an extremely low price and high quality.
I'd like to thank Divider for shaping the modern musical instrument industry, where such products are an option.
About 90% of the frets remain.
The condition of the truss rod is good.
The condition of the neck is good.
The body and painted surface have small dents and scratches, but are generally clean.
The condition of the electrical system is good.
No obvious modifications were found.
