Explanation
"I want to enjoy the rich, airy resonance unique to semi-acoustic guitars, but the large, heavy body is hard to handle and tires me out during long performances or on stage." Are you looking for a guitar that’s easy to hold and has great resonance—one that combines the sharp attack of a solid-body guitar with the warmth of an acoustic?
The full-bodied, deep tone produced by semi-acoustic guitars is truly captivating. However, typical semi-acoustics have large bodies, which can often make them cumbersome to handle in live venues and cause stress when playing modern, fast-paced phrases. On the other hand, models that simply reduce the body size tend to sacrifice the rich body resonance—the very essence of a semi-acoustic guitar.
Achieving a high-level fusion of these seemingly contradictory elements—a compact, easy-to-play size and the deep, rich tone characteristic of a semi-acoustic—requires exceptional craftsmanship in guitar making.
To address these concerns, a model was created that brings together the technical expertise of Diviser, a long-established guitar brand based in Nagano. Introduced by the Seventy Seven brand—which carries on the DNA of Bacchus and HEADWAY—the Seventy Seven ALB-II is a guitar into which the technologies of leading electric and acoustic guitar brands have been generously poured.
Developed based on the classic ALBATROSS model, it retains the center block while hollowing out the body as much as possible from the sides to the body end. Despite its compact, easy-to-handle body, it achieves a rich resonant tone thanks to the exquisite balance between the neck and body.
It combines carefully selected Philippine alder and maple with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. While retaining the unique airiness of a hollow-body guitar, it delivers clear bass, lustrous mids, and responsive highs. The body top features flame maple with a beautiful grain pattern, creating a premium look that stands out on stage.
It embodies the essence of Bacchus’s advanced electric guitar craftsmanship and HEADWAY’s proven acoustic expertise. Carefully assembled at our highly regarded in-house workshop in the Philippines, it achieves a remarkable balance of exceptional sound quality and an affordable price.
The ALB-II seamlessly blends the crisp attack of an electric guitar with the enveloping warmth of an acoustic. It is the perfect choice for guitarists who want to comfortably enjoy a semi-hollow sound from a compact body, or who seek satisfying quality and rich tone at an affordable price.
A compact semi-hollow guitar that embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Experience the comfortable fit and airy feel the moment you pick it up.
