Not familiar with that model but Bacchus makes some highly regarded vintage reproductions on the Gibson and Fender side.

There are some cool sort of parallel universe looking teles if they wanted to be LP models on their site. I need to ask @la szum how the best way to buy from Japan goes.

I’ve imported a couple guitars from Ishibashi with zero issues. Be careful with ebay - you get a lot of resellers there that don’t actually own the instrument, often why you see the same guitar listed multiple times with different prices.

No but it’s nothing special. You’re are paying for what you’re getting.

Comes with a good stand;

It massively improves Sire and Eart.

Thanks for the 2 cents Andy. I am thinking I want to treat myself to something nice guitar wise. I always go cheap on the guitar end of things. This is nice but not necessarily a departure from my usual trumpet machine shopping spree.

If you were going to spend big money what would you buy? I will try to suggest somethings you should check out that get close for less in a similar vein.

Honestly? I don't know. I don't want Gibson. I love flying Vs but I don't want tunomatic or Gibson scale length. I love Ibanez but that area is covered (as well my love of Vs with 2 of the Ibby Vs). I would really like an EBMM of some sort but those are just too much $. There are some more futuristic guitars but I look at these things as just tools for the job at hand. Which is why my guitars are all sub $1k "luthier" "specials"

Bacchus make solid stuff JT - comes out of the Deviser factory who also build Momose, Headway and the James Tyler Japan model. The Momose stuff is pretty spectacular.

Except this one is from Indonesia. It’s a bit like a premium Ibanez with budget hardware and pickups .

I'll just leave this here ....

Yamaha Pacifica, one of the nicer ones .....used ....pretty good for the money. IMO.

20 years ago I predicted it was going to be Vietnam that would become big in the offshore guitar market.

Who knew then Indo would be the one?

I would try a Premium az but you need to cherry pick these. A good one it great because the hardware and pickups are premium at this price that is rare.
