Here I introduce my new Bacchus Les Paul Universe, guitar is made in China, and is part of the affordable products of Bacchus,
Guitar look is amazing, these are the specs:
First thing I did not like were the pickups, the sound was not terrible but it did not fill my expectations, so I decided to install Gibson Burstbuckers pro (I do have a Custom with 490/498 and a R7 with Custombuckers, I wanted something different). With the Gibson pickups the guitar made a good quality step forward, now it is a rock guitar, with a full rounded sound.
And my next change will be the tuners, I´m thinking in Gotoh SG381...
Fretboard hydration is needed as well.
For the rest the guitar is very playable, and the weight is also a plus (3.7kg)
Attached some pics with the previous Zebra pickups and newest one with the BB Pro
