Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski...

Doctor J

...I'm the Duke!



So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dukeness...



...or uh, Duker...



...or El Dukerino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Voodu Child

Nice!

That matt finish looks lovely...if there's one thing I hate its a guitar neck covered in thick, sticky, plasticcy crap. That looks like a great player

DeadSkin

Looks flawless Doc, sorry Duke :pac:
Congrats

Yakult

AMAZING

I saw that guitar and was amazed by it. Beautiful finish and look over all! Must be a beaut to play!

Doctor J

Cheers guys. I know I'm biased with the oul Bacchus' but this yoke is very nice indeed. It arrived a few days ago, just been getting to know it. It's a big neck, definitely based on older Les Pauls, but the oiled neck feels sweet. It's not the lightest, but not a hernia giver either. It's just... really, really nice

Karl Hungus

That certainly does look nice. And extra points for the Big Lebowski reference.

Lovely Doc Duke - its about time!!
How you getting on with the p90's? Are they made in-house too like their humbuckers or are they Duncans or suchlike?

Doctor J

I'm loving them Boycey. They're in house, got the right mix of meat and twang. They're clean and dirty at the same time. It's got it's own sound, it's own niche in the family and it makes me play differently to anything else I have.

Dord

So how many Bacchii is that now?

Johnny Storm

The Duke abides....

Ravelleman

Looks great. I'd change the knobs though. I agree with Voodoo, the matte finish is refreshing in this world of thick, shiny poly finishes.

dabhoys

Great axe chief, good to see you make the plunge into the Les Paul stylee

Those bacchus are super nice guitars!!

dabhoys

Frankiestylee

Wow... that really is a beautiful guitar... I'd say it makes you want to explore all sorts of new musical avenues, just the look of it fills me with inklings of smokey mojo

Doctor J

Cheers Frankie, yeah it's a departure for me, there's no way I'll be chugging out riffs in B on it

Ancient1

Niiiice, I liiiike!

She's a beauty, Doc, made for the blues!

Jammy bastard.

But jeezus man, what size strings are those?!

The only thing you'll need to change is the door of your house after I rip it off and steel you Bachaii

I reckon we should organise a big "show and tell" meet up sometime where we can all check out each others gear in the flesh. That would be fun!!

Discussion of counterfeiting guitars will earn you a ban from this forum.

darrenw5094

It's a Bacchus......that's what the description says.
Why does it not say Bacchus on the headstock??

Quattroste

Ah! looked at that auction and am surprised. The seller is generally quite reputable! Nice looking guitar though!

I'm just surprised that the Guitar does not have Bacchus on it yet the discription says it is a Bacchus (well kinda!) That's all.

I'd buy it for the price quoted if I could have confirmation that it was a Bacchus. Really nice guitar.

Doctor J

They can't put a Bacchus logo on it because it's pretty much an anally exact Fender replica, including the headstock. These models used to have the standard Bacchus logo on them but I imagine some legal threats have taken place. To the best of my knowledge they are made in the same place by the same people as the rest of the Bacchus handmade line.

Quattroste

Fender! Are you playing guess the link again

Doc! Giz a go at your guitar!!
