As most other guitar manufacturers use factory-line NC routers in order to reduce costs and increases production, Bacchus believes the selection of tone wood for guitars and basses must be processed and carved by human. Bacchus reason is simple - all wood materials differ from each other, even among the same species of wood. They believe they need to be able to recognize these differences in order to create quality instruments. The ways in which the wood age, the ways they process, the ways they behave - recognizing these factors require an experienced eye of a skilled luthier.
