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.

「TACTICS24」× Walnut

Making its debut in the JT series, this variation of -TACTICS24- model uses walnut, which is considered an exotic wood, for the body top. Walnut is native to North America, and it is often used for furniture and flooring, and is one of the three most famous woods in the world.

An open-pore finish is used, in which the pores of the wood are not filled in with any sealant, and only an extremely thin coating is applied, leaving as much of the wood’s texture and grain as possible.

Heel-cut and contoured body back

The heel-cut design, which eliminates the neck plate, gives as a result, improved playability at the higher frets. In addition, the contoured body back makes playing for a long time a stress-free endeavor.

24F specification x stainless steel jumbo frets

As the name implies, this 24-fret model comes standard with stainless steel jumbo frets. Stainless steel is harder than strings, which means more durability, and that it slides well to support smooth fingering and choking.

Locking machine heads

Equipped with Locking tuners (locking machine heads), in which turning the wheel behind the machine heads raises the rod in the string post and locks it by clamping the strings, has the effect of dramatically increasing tuning stability.

Roasted maple neck with increased rigidity

The popular roasted maple neck, a new Bacchus classic, is also used in this model. The heat treatment not only makes the neck highly rigid and resistant to warping but also produces an aged sound with a good attack.

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.
