Bacchus Japan Tune-up Series

One of the most important parts of the guitar-making process is the final tuning process, carried out by our experienced Japanese craftsmen. At the specialized division within the Deviser Technical Center located meters away from the Aska Workshop, each instrument undergoes individual tuning tailored to its specific characteristics.
Inheriting the spirit of the Bacchus Handmade Series that started in 2001, the JT Series offers players instruments that are in top condition straight out of the box and ready to tackle any challenge.

Burl poplar top models that incorporate the colors of nature!

The top of the body is decorated with poplar wood with burl grain. Poplar is mainly found in North America, but it is also familiar in Japan, as seen in the rows of poplar trees in Hokkaido.
*The grain of burl poplar varies from guitar to guitar.

This model is painted in a light shade following the KRB (Keiryu Blue) and SYP (Someiyoshino Pink) coloring, which was introduced in the past in limited edition models from the Bacchus Handmade Series. Bursting the light colors requires skill, but the skilled painting techniques of the craftsmen at the Asuka factory, where the domestic models are manufactured, have been reproduced.

Heel-cut & Back contour

The heel-cut construction, which eliminates the neck plate, allows for high playability at high frets. In addition, the contoured body back makes playing for a long time much easier thanks to the comfort it brings to the table.

24-fret design & Stainless steel frets

This model features a 24-fret design with wear-resistant stainless steel frets. Jumbo-size frets are used for smooth string pressing and extended sustain.

Maple fingerboard, Avalon shell position markings

The fingerboard is made of maple to match the coloring of the body top, giving it a soft appearance. The beautiful-looking Avalon shells used for the position markings change their brilliance depending on the angle of view, accentuating the light coloring of the model.

Locking Machineheads

The Locking machine heads are a mechanism in which the rod in the string post rises when the wheel on the back of the machine head is turned, and locks when the string is clamped. By reducing the number of windings on the string post, tuning stability is dramatically improved.

Since this mechanism clamps the strings, there is no need to wind more strings, which has the advantage of reducing the time required for string changes and reducing tension-induced buzzing.

Coil tap function & 2 stud tremolo unit

In addition to a coil-tap function that produces a pseudo-single-coil tone by switching a mini-switch, a Wilkinson® 2-stud tremolo for smooth arming comes standard with this model.

■ About the JT Series

The most important feature is the final tuning process, carried out by our experienced Japanese craftsmen. At the specialized division within the Deviser Technical Center located meters away from the Aska Workshop, each instrument undergoes individual tuning tailored to its specific characteristics.

In addition to the above work, string action adjustment and final finishing of the fingerboard, which directly affect playability, are also thoroughly performed as tune-up items.

In addition to fret rounding and nut filing, we meticulously perform string action adjustments and give the fingerboard a final adjustment, all tasks which directly impact playability as part of our tuning-up process. New guitars and basses often come with various playability issues, but the JT Series maintains this commitment to giving the player an instrument that is in top condition straight out of the box.
