I think they are the same, maybe the headstock is different.

Nice Trio

some years back I've looked at one of those Asat models, they had been heavy as hell

Absolutely great guitars guys !

This is one of my cheaper Tele-Type guitars, and it has a wonderful roasted maple neck
basicly can make lots of trouble with the HHs
It's from the Universe series, called BTLC-1

Bacchus is part of the Deviser group, Nagano prefecture, Japan (Momose, SeventySeven, Headway and some more)
The entry level series like Universe are made somewhere in Asia, the JT are made in Asia and 'tuned up' in Japan,
and the Handcrafted ones are made in small amounts in Japan (Deviser and Aska factory)

You weren't wrong. Mine has an all Mahogany body. Must have been one of the heaviest slabs they would find. At an LP like 9lbs it's the heaviest guitar I own but I keep it for two reasons. I love the Irish Ale finish. It's more rare. It's also Leo's very first alternative to his original Tele using his MFD pickups. I use the same type of Neoprene strap I use with my basses. It helps relieve some of it's weight.
