Bacchus LP, heavyest chunk of hog ever.
I just picked up a Bacchus brand Les Paul Jr. I'd never run accross this brand before but mine is made in Japan, is very well made with good componants, and the price seemed fair. So far I'm liking this this guitar alot, it sounds awesome but holly crap... its got to be the heavyest guitar I've ever run across.

I've read some great things about Bacchus in the past. That said, I don't know if it's all their models/guitars or not and I've never played one before to form my own impression. The MIJ Les Pauls have a great reputation though.
Where did you find it? ... and Congrats! |

Apologies for the misinformation, its not a Jr its a special, with two P-90's. Quite versitile, clean its got plenty of spank and sparkle, can do surf or country no problem. Overdriven and EQ'd properly you can get it into Metal teritory. |

Something I discovered when I bought my 2011 limited-edition Gibson Studio '60s Tribute goldtop/P-90 - although I use it as my straight-up rock axe (my 3-PU Gretsch 5622 covers just about everything else) it's the best surf guitar I've ever played...

I've always found the over driven tone of p-90's a tad gritty for some things, the Katana has a "Boost" thing, that lets me blend in any number of the Boss distortion pedal tones, this can fill in and smooth out the grittyness nicely for a chunkyer tone. I've honestly never really liked using distortion pedals but maybe the trick is to blend just a little bit with the amp's OD. |
