    New V day

    I ran across this on the gear page. Its a Jap Bacchaus replica of a 58 Korina V. I'm a sucker for these guitars, the price was right and it came with a SKB TSA V case to boot!!! I added the Gibson logo for a little flair.

    The previous owner claims it is made of mahogany, but this thing is WAY too light....6.25 lbs!!! I think its Korina.

    The neck is a medium C carve. Medium size fret wire...very comfortable to play!

    I believe this came out the late 80s? Very well constucted!













    I'm just a few hundred lessons away from being a great guitar player.......

      Congrats!! I saw you had a NGD, I thought maybe I could see a Heritage V.. haha. I dunno about the weight, I had a Dean V and ML that were supposed to be mahogany and they were about 6 lbs and the ML is a huge guitar.
      Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

        Gorgeous! I've got an Epi '58 Korina V that I put a black pickguard on. What a great look.

          Wow, great axe! Bacchus is a premium maker, not very common outside of Japan. I often see them priced over 1-1.5k when they do pop up.

          Looks like mahogany to me as well. Limba has a different grain and is ligher in colour, while mahogany is more goldern brown. Anyway, killer guitar - I'd love a '58 style V meself.

          Dislike those things, personally; no need for them when sitting with it like this.

                Rubber strip is fine....its the damned strap button location on the 58 style V and Explorer that drives me nuts.
                Bacchus=good stuff. Congrats!

                      Yes, but any rock guitarist worth his salt knows that you are *never* supposed to put such knowledge into actual use.

                      Sweet axe. Happy NVD!

                              Sexy Axe! but I don't like the cutaway on the '58's, especially compared to a '67.
