GS-001
I heard about Bacchus for the first time for about four years ago. I was doing a recording session in a studio and the bassist used a Bacchus bass for the recording. My first impression of this bass is supreme quality and resonance,pretty light weight. it’s some kind of evolutional jazz bass and the sound is more modern than a traditional Jazz bass which is more suitable for the song that we worked for.
Lately I got the Bacchus Empire Custom guitar from the local distributor and I was so impressed by every detail of this guitar.I played a lot of high end guitar and I can say this Bacchus Empire Custom can exceed most of them. The super light weight Honduran Mahogany body has an incredible response and tone.Amazing tone wood indeed. The abalone leaves inlays,bindings, fret works every detail is what I wanted for years.The luthier really knows everything that a player demands. After this guitar I tried the Global series model–GS-001 because sometimes I want a cheaper guitar to practice.Well I just want to say this cheaper GS-001 is a real deal one for both the pro-musicians and the beginners.
It has a very nice neck shape,smooth and slimmer.The fretboard radius is just OK for me and the fret works is really good.
