Bacchus is a Japanese brand based in Nagano, Japan.
It is a brand under the umbrella of Divisor, which owns a large guitar factory called Asuka Factory, and is appreciated by many musicians for its high quality because it is handled by the factory itself.
This model is a WOODLINE model from the Japan Tune-up series, which was newly created with the aim of achieving high quality.
The Japan Tune-up series uses a method whereby the manufacturing is done overseas, while the nut adjustment and fret adjustment are done in Japan.
The aim is to keep the price low but the quality high and comparable in every respect to the top quality made in Japan.
We have actually seen the work carried out in the Divisor workshop in Nagano, and the careful finishing of each piece is no different from that of the top-of-the-range HANDMADE series.
The WL-5 is already a popular model and is highly regarded for its quality.
This newly released one has a gorgeous quilted maple on the body top.
The looks are as you can see, but it's hard to believe it's in this price range. It's astonishing.
It's not something that would normally be possible, but I think it's great that Divisor is able to innovate in this way.
Also, the neck is made of roasted maple.
Roasted maple is a wood that has acquired a strong stability by volatilising the water and oil inside the wood by treating it at high temperatures.
Originally used as a building material for saunas in Finland, it is particularly resistant to high temperatures and humidity.
Many Bacchus models are passive, but being AC, this model has an active circuit.
By making full use of the two-band EQ for treble and bass, powerful sound-making is possible.
The super-smooth playing comfort is characteristic of the brand and the sound is smooth.
Roasted maple is characterised by its smooth start-up and cozy sound, and this model is no different.
This kind of specification is not usually found in this price range.
It has a smooth response and a powerful sound.
It is comfortable to play and you will want to play such an instrument for a long time.
This is by far the cheapest and best quality product available.
Thanks to Divisor for shaping the modern instrument industry where products like this are an option.
