Anyone ever seen this guitar before?

It sells for like 200 euros. Supoosedly 25.5 neck.




I think it looks cool! Would look a hundred times better with a new pickguard, neck and a control plate.

EDIT:

Oops wrong category! Could a mod be kind and move this?

Hmm. That headstock looks straight up illegal.

I like it. Looks like an excellent modding platform.

Eww Tune-O-Matic, though.

Yeah the neck would have to go if I got one. 25.5 on mustangs seems wrong and even more so with that ugly headstock.

On another note, bach guitars are pretty popular over here and people generally say nice things about them.

And yes, I'm put off by tune-o-matic as well. Would it be hard to change it to a mustang bridge?

I actually meant that the headstock looks way too close to Fender to be legal. I think it could be easily reshaped.

Probably. I would just try roller saddles, though.

I see, I still think the small head looks wrong on this one though.

Many of their other guitars are very similar to the real deal.
Here's some of them:

And btw, tell your cat to stop giving my cat dirty looks!

Hmm they do have very Fender-looking headstocks on their guitars! Wonder how that goes.

Are these hard to get a hold of in the states?

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE CATS ROLLING ON MY COMPUTER!!?!?!? I'M GETTING SEASICK, DUDES.


But the guitar looks cool.

Do you know if they sell them to other countries? Is there a more definitive catalogue? This is pretty much my perfect guitar that I've eventually, maybe never, wanted to put into a project...

Mustang body
25.5" neck
Jazzy trem with TOM

All I'd do to get it how I want it is rout for a bridge pickup and get a roller bridge on. I'm smitten.

TOM with Jag trem? Get some roller saddles on there, n00bs...

Not bad but the colour and guard look a bit ....frumpy. Also since I prefer shortscales not that bothered by the 25.5 neck really. I want to build a 25.5 Stang one day but with the body scaled up to match.

I get the frumpy vibes, but with a white correctly shaped pickguard it'd look fine. The shape of the body looks pretty spot on or near enough to me.

I've actually sent them an email asking things like cost and shipping and if they have an other finishes available.

Looks cool - do you have a link to the offset?

It's not in their catalogue but here's a crazy quick reply...

It´s price is Euro 177,10.

Freight cost to England Euro 22,00.

Color – old fiesta red.

I think the fiesta red looks pretty banging but would be better served with a mint or aged white guard. After odds and sods, UKers would probably pay £200 all in. Not too shabby!

I'd love to try one. Flying blind is a bit of a worry...

Order - or order not. there is no try.

Worth a try for that price...

Maybe, just maybe

Fucking loev ugly bass. UGLAY BASS.

afaik the funny thing about this company is that the don't build in CHina but in the Chech Republic. But at that price I wonder if that is true.

Thinking of flogging stuff to get one. All the demos of these BaCH guitars sound great.

In the german Musiker-Board there exists a very lively discussion about the quality of these instruments. Some say they are thrash, some say they are cool...
Now.....
