New “DUKE” featuring this year’s zodiac sign, the Horse, from the Bacchus Unique series [Deviser Special Showcase 2026]
The “Deviser Special Showcase 2026” is just around the corner. In this article, we’ll give you a sneak peek at the models on display from the Bacchus Unique Series, a new line launched last year.
About Unique Series
Inspired by the word “Unique”, meaning “one-of-a-kind” and “unparalleled”, this new Made in Japan lineup was launched in 2025. Incorporating the zodiac motif of that year into the design, we’ve adopted specifications that differ from our standard models to ensure each piece is truly one-of-a-kind for its owner.
A wide variety of part combinations
For this exhibition, we’ve created three different “DUKE” models, each featuring a unique pickup configuration. This model, equipped with two plain-top humbuckers, combines a vibrant color scheme with white-based parts. It offers a distinctive look that feels both familiar yet fresh, something you’ve never seen before.
We also plan to showcase a model featuring mini humbucker and soapbar-style P-90 pickups, a first for the Unique Series. Each model features unique parts that enhance the overall aesthetic of the color and pickups, such as tortoiseshell-patterned pickguards and metal pickup covers.
“Year of the Horse” Headstock Design
The headpiece features a motif of the “Year of the Horse”, the zodiac sign for 2026. This original design captures the image of a rearing horse powerfully stamping its hooves on the ground.
Patina finish
“Patina” is a term used to describe the unique character that develops over time, such as the luster and fading that gradually appear on the surface of furniture and leather goods through daily use. We have recreated this exquisite finish in the guitar’s lacquer, and in this new model, we have further incorporated a natural aging process.
Deep Joint
While retaining the same body angle as the DUKE model in the Handmade Series, this guitar features a deep joint design that maximizes the contact area between the body and neck to enhance vibration transmission efficiency.
Limited-edition flame maple top
In addition to the three models introduced above, we are currently crafting the “DUKE” that features a flame maple top. Stay tuned for the full reveal!
The special website for the “Deviser Special Showcase 2026”, launching at 6:00 PM on Friday, May 22, will feature over 200 limited-edition models and new products. Until the event begins, we are releasing teaser information about the products on the preview page below.
