The JRP (Japanese Red Pine) project is the result of an initiative that one of the members of the Bacchus team presented some time ago. There is a very concerning problem going on thought the forests in Japan, but more than anywhere, in our local city of Matsumoto. For many years now, the Pine Weevil has been striking the red pines forests in Matsumoto at an alarming rate, effectively withering thousands of trees to the point where the local authorities have been forced to chop down these trees to prevent possibly dangerous collapses, and since the wood from these trees has been heavily damaged by the weevils large amounts of it are going to waste. This is where we decided to step in to prevent such waste and try to help the environment while giving you an amazing new product.

And lastly, good news to all of you interested in acquiring one of these one of a kind guitars but are just now hearing about its existence, we are currently developing a new model that is going to be readily available for you to purchase!
Please stay tuned for more details, updates are to come.
