Bacchus 30th Anniversary Models – [#DeviserOneDay]
The classic models that supported the 30th anniversary of the Bacchus brand
Bacchus Guitars have been in the hands of many users around the world, from high-end to entry-level guitars. The Bacchus brand, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, began its history back in 1994.
A major turning point after the launch of the brand was the birth of models such as the “WOODLINE” series, the “G-STUDIO”, and the “DUKE-STANDARD” which have created a lineage that can still be seen in the Bacchus brand products of today.
『WOODLINE』
Features a smaller body size commonly referred to as “Downsized” body shape.
『G-STUDIO』
This model features a slightly slimmer body than most models of the same type, making it easy to hold and maneuver around while playing.
『DUKE-STANDARD』
Features a slightly larger head for improved overall balance and a deep joint system for high stability and deep sound.
『T-STANDARD』
Features a TL-shaped body and elbow back with contoured finish, this model focuses on maximizing playability.
The latest models continue a 30-year tradition
Based on the above models, which became the flagship of Bacchus’ top-of-the-line “Bacchus Handmade Series” lineup, we have produced many entry-level models with the same body shape and control specifications. Below are the latest iterations of the models inspired by those Handmade Series giants.
『WL4-STD/RSM』
The product name’ “WL” is an abbreviation of “WOODLINE” and the model is full of color variations that follow the downsized body shape of the original WOODLINE.
『GS-2DX RSM/M』
The GS features a slightly slimmer body shape and heel-less cut for high playability, inherited from the G-STUDIO.
『DUKE-CTM-FM』
This model maintains the balance of the DUKE’s unique appearance while reducing the overall weight of the body by making it slightly thinner.
『TACTICS24-SPM RSM/M』
This model inherits the features of the “T-STANDARD” model, which used the elbow and back contour specifications while adding more modern spec updates.
And now, a special model commemorating the brand’s 30th anniversary will be introduced in the Bacchus Handmade Series at the 2024 Deviser One Day Guitar Show.
Special models commemorating the 30th anniversary of the company’s history
This year’s Deviser “One Day Guitar Show 2024” will feature special models made based on selected standard models and carefully selected woods for this event. This article introduces a few specifications of these special models.
「Jindai Wood」2-piece body & Ziricote fretboard
Jindai is a wood that has been buried in the ground for more than 1,000 years without decaying and its name in Japanese “神代” means “wood from the time of the gods” or “wood that became godlike”.
The appearance of Jindai wood is characterized by its color. While there are many types of colors wood comes in such as whitish or reddish colorations, Jindai wood generally loses its color (saturation) over time, turning a grayish brown and giving it a unique glossy appearance.
The fact that the wood is more than 1,000 years old gives it a certain solemn, imposing feel.
Naturally, it will never be seen by the public in its buried state, but it will be unearthed due to earthquakes, landslides, land development, and other reasons. Jindai wood can only be found by chance, making it an exceedingly rare material.
In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Bacchus brand, this precious Jindai wood is used for the body in a 2-piece arrangement. You will be able to enjoy the full sound of the Jindai wood as well as its history.
Ziricote was selected for the fretboard wood. It is a very hard wood that produces a hefty sound with a strong attack.
The expressive wood grain is also a feature of the instrument, making for a gorgeous look perfect to commemorate its 30th anniversary.
Jindai wood will be used to make both guitars and basses to commemorate this 30th anniversary.
The craftsmen at the Aska workshop have gathered their skills and are now working hard to complete these special models that embody the history of the Bacchus brand.
