Your user is pretty accurate <| sep |> I live in Japan and I frequently see a lot of Bacchus guitars in second hand shops . I guess it depends on how much you ' re paying for it , but I definitely didn ' t prefer them over any MIJ Fender . You may want to check out ESP or Tokai , as well . <| sep |> My father once caught a rat in a plastic container . Quite a nice one , good seal , nice solid clips . Good manufacturing with tight tolerances . He put the rat outside and intended to wash the container and continue to use it . That got voted down and the container went into the recycling . I understand that sometimes , it ' s just going to feel gross , no matter what . You could autoclave something and it ' ll still represent a memory of something disgusting .
