    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 :)

    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 :)

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!!

    PS Quattroste any word on your Matamp? Been playing mine all day and loving it!! (Sorry Doc, thread hi-jack mode dis-engaged!!)

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