Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | From strictly an aesthetic viewpoint, I LOVE it!!! It is a Gorgeous Guitar, just Beautiful!
I don't understand any German though (a couple of swear words that my Dad taught me), so I don't know what it says about it, or the Maker.
It looks well made, and the wooden round back is really interesting! Have you ever gotten to play one of these?? |

Location: Muenster/Germany | I just found some discussions about a wooden bowlback guitar in this forum. The only guitar with a wood bowl I ever saw before was a Yairi. I wonder if the Luthier made Adamas-like bracings for this guitar. I already have 3 luthier-made guitars with offset-soundholes and fan bracing. For me the best way to build a guitar top, that´s why I love the old custom legends and the Adamii.
This guitar has a wonderful alpine spruce top and should have a great projection power. Too bad that the neck appaears to be not in good shape, the strings run off-center down the fretboard. |

Location: When?? | I'm with Nancy.. I like the look and the craft.
Even though most of my dad's foreign language cuss words were Japanese, I will attempt to post a German-to-English translation here:
Brand: Bachman
Model: AC6 Luxury Master
Country of origin: Italy
Original price: 5,800 Euro
Located: Weiding, Germany
Shipping: Does NOT ship to the USA
Item condition:
Professionally overhauled by a manufacturer-approved dealer and working properly. The guitar has been tested, cleaned and repaired so that it conforms to the requirements of the manufacturer and is in perfect condition. The item does not come in the original packaging.
So there ya go. You're on your own for the rest of it.
I couldn’t see where it listed its age, but for the original price it may have turned a few heads in Europe in its day. As for the "perfect condition" part.. hmmmmm... I'm not so sure how that term measures up on the street in Germany since looking at the close-up zoom of the pictures I see a lot of nick-gouge-scratch-stain on there that would seem to make it quite less than "perfect" (as well as what DetlefMichel said about the neck). However, it may play and sound like a dream. But I can't tell. My arms won't reach that far.

Location: Canada | Surprising that the luthier did not fix the string centering when it was refurbished. I think the look is geared toward the alpine yodeling genre, and you will have to wear your Krachlederne to really appreciate it. |

LOL.. that's funny. And, pretty as it is, I was also thinking that some folks may be compelled to slice tomatoes on the back of it. |

Lol! Great comment and good eye d'ovation. That neck is gonna warp in a few years with alignment like that... |
