Pink treatment


Had this Bacchus BST-2 sent over for a re-string / set up two days ago. It's that wonderful model featuring a roasted maple neck & it's a smooth player indeed, especially after a set-up for a set of 10s. The guitar is light, it might be lighter than an Ibanez S-Series, no kidding but it's a darn resonant instrument.


The strap buttons were corroded & replaced with a set of Dunlops. 


Frets were attended to as well. Showing you the contrast between a cleaned, polished set (right) & those which were not. This guitar is a display unit so being left out of the bag & exposed to the elements & human handling, the lacklustre frets were expected. It's nothing a good polishing fluid could not handle.


Just so you know, it's an F-spaced string spacing. Guitar belongs to my cousin, it's a birthday surprise from close friends.

I got a bunch of Dunlop stainless steel strap buttons if you're interested for future projects:
