The guitar Abim Finger uses
As Abim’s popularity has grown, we have been receiving a lot of inquiries from customers both in Japan and overseas, asking “What kind of Bacchus guitar does Abim use?” In order to answer this question…
Here are some of the Bacchus guitars that Abim uses!.
IMPERIAL-PROⅡ CUSTOM
A custom version of IMPERIAL-PRO made for the overseas market. An electric guitar for technical guitarists with 24 frets for improved playability. It has a lock type tremolo for heavy sound, but it also has a mini switch for coil tap, which allows you to make a wide range of sounds. Black and white paint with gold parts looks great.

EMPIRE Abim Custom
Newly built in 2020, this is Abim’s current main guitar.
The increasingly rare flame Hawaiian Koa top, Floyd Rose original tremolo, Jescar Evo Gold frets, Mojotone Knockout ST & Sledgehammer HB, and signature on the back of the head are just a few of the features that Abim has chosen to achieve his playing style and tone needs.
