Bacchus Global BSH-900ASH/RSM SBBD

A Bacchus "Global" Designed to Offer the Type S Spirit with a Premium Touch

Part of the Global series, the BSH-900ASH/RSM positions itself as a modern Type S that emphasizes material and equipment choices usually reserved for higher-end instruments: ash body for character and dynamics, roasted maple for the neck and fingerboard, and electronics designed to cover a wide sonic range. Made in Indonesia, it targets musicians who want a stage and studio guitar in one, without multiplying instruments for different styles. The SonicBlue Blonde finish (color code SBBD) reinforces this identity: a look that is both classic, bright, and immediately recognizable.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

With its Type S ergonomics and very flexible electronics, this Bacchus is particularly aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate guitarists seeking a serious instrument, as well as experienced musicians looking for a reliable "Swiss Army knife" guitar. The S-S-H layout easily covers pop, rock, blues, funk, indie, and heavier genres (modern rock, more saturated leads) thanks to the bridge humbucker. The coil tap further expands its use: you switch from a thick and powerful sound to a finer, brighter texture, very useful for placing a rhythm part in the mix without weighing it down.

A Sonic Signature Based on Ash, Roasted Maple, and S-S-H Electronics

The ash body typically provides a quick response, well-controlled lows, and present highs: it is a wood appreciated for its attack and definition, particularly convincing on clean tones and articulate crunches. Paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, the instrument offers a lively touch, a sense of precision, and good note-by-note clarity, useful for enriched chords, double-stops, and back-and-forth licks.

Regarding pickups, the Original S-S-H set offers a coherent palette: the single coils favor expressive clean sounds with that typical "snap" for funk, pop, and percussive rhythms, while the rear humbucker provides more density, output level, and sustain for riffs and solos. The highlight is the coil tap (push/pull on the tone control): in split mode, the humbucker approaches a brighter and more "cutting" character, useful for switching from a saturated chorus to a clean verse without changing guitars. The 5-position selector facilitates these transitions live and makes the guitar particularly effective for covering a full set.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes factory-strung with D'Addario 010-046: if you like the balance between comfort, tuning stability, and versatility, sticking with this gauge is a safe choice, especially with a Wilkinson-type vibrato. A gig bag and a wrench are included, so you can complete your kit with an identical spare set of strings for stage or rehearsals.
