Bacchus Global BSH-850/RSM CAR

A Bacchus "Global" Designed for Everyday Performance

This Bacchus BSH-850/RSM belongs to the Global series, a range designed to offer the spirit and playability of "S"-style models in an accessible format, without sacrificing the details that matter on stage or in the studio. Made in Indonesia, it highlights musician-oriented choices: roasted maple for stability, reliable hardware (Wilkinson, locking tuners), and versatile electronics thanks to the coil tap. The result: a modern electric guitar in approach, yet deeply rooted in the timeless codes of "S" guitars.

Who Is the Bacchus BSH-850/RSM For? Styles, Skill Levels, and Playing Feel

With its 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, 22 frets, and S-S-H configuration, the BSH-850/RSM targets a wide spectrum: demanding beginners looking for a first "real" evolving guitar, intermediate players wanting a versatile platform, and even advanced players seeking an efficient instrument for rehearsals, recording, or touring without stress. The roasted maple neck provides a fast and clear feel, particularly enjoyable for alternate picking, clean bends, and funk rhythms.

In terms of styles, it naturally adapts to pop, rock, blues, and funk. The bridge humbucker also covers modern rock and heavy crunch registers very well, while the single coils and intermediate positions of the 5-position selector deliver clearer, snappier, and more articulate tones.

A Wide Sonic Palette: S-S-H + Coil Tap to Multiply Textures

The Bacchus BSH-850/RSM is equipped with an Original S-S-H set and electronics designed for flexibility: 1 volume, 2 tone controls, and a coil tap via push-pull (pull up) on the tone control. In practice, you have a very versatile base: the two single coils deliver precise, defined, and dynamic sounds for arpeggios, chicken picking, and clean rhythms. The bridge humbucker adds more density, output level, and sustain, ideal for riffs, power chords, and leads that need to stand out in a mix.

The coil tap further expands the playing field: in split mode, the rear humbucker behaves more like a brighter and sharper single coil. This is particularly useful for switching from a clean verse to a more aggressive chorus or for regaining a finer attack in rhythm playing without changing guitars. Combined with the 5-position selector, this architecture facilitates register transitions and allows exploration of tones ranging from crystalline cleans to bold overdrives.

The choice of nyatoh for the body contributes to the overall balance: it often produces a warm response in the low mids, with a homogeneous response that works well with an S-S-H configuration. The roasted maple neck and fretboard promote a more immediate attack and good note-to-note clarity, helping the guitar stay articulate even with gain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of this guitar, you can stick with a set of electric strings 010-046 (already mounted with D'Addario 010-046) to maintain the tension balance designed for this scale length. Also compatible and useful daily are: a strap with standard ends, a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable (essential for rehearsals and on stage), and a guitar stand for storage. A gig bag is already included, convenient for transport.
