A TACTICS Designed for the "Modern Vintage" Spirit Within the Global Range

The Bacchus TACTICS-ASH/RSM is part of the Global series, a line designed to offer consistent manufacturing and a high level of equipment while remaining affordable. Made in Indonesia, it focuses on effective lutherie choices oriented towards musicality: an ash body for response and definition, and a torrefied maple neck for stability and feel. All of this is highlighted by a bright and distinctive SonicBlue Blonde (SBBD) finish.

Who Is the Bacchus TACTICS-ASH/RSM For?

With its comfortable grip, long scale length, and simple electronics, this guitar is well suited for serious beginner guitarists seeking a stable and inspiring instrument, as well as for intermediate players looking for a versatile electric guitar with a distinctive look. Its LP shape and fixed bridge promote a direct feel under the right hand, while the P-90 + single coil combination covers a wide spectrum: vintage rock, blues, indie, pop, punchier funk, and even denser rhythms when pushing the amp.

Sound Character: Responsive Ash, Precise Torrefied Maple, Expressive P-90

Ash generally provides a quick attack and good chord clarity: you get firm lows, well-articulated mids, and a present treble without necessarily becoming harsh, which helps both clean tones and driven sounds. The contoured body improves comfort during long sessions and also contributes to a more "alive" feel of the instrument, with dynamic response to playing.

The torrefied maple neck and torrefied maple fingerboard add precision and a pleasant rigidity: the attack is clear, sustain is well maintained, and the guitar retains good stability against natural variations (temperature, humidity) as noted by the manufacturer. The 305 mm / 12.0" radius aims for balance: flat enough for clean bends and comfortable action, while remaining natural for chords.

Regarding pickups, the P-90 and single coil pairing is a real playground. The P-90 delivers a thick grain, expressive mids, and a slight musical roughness when played harder: perfect for rock riffs, bluesy leads, and vintage crunches. The single coil provides more snap and definition, ideal for arpeggios, chicken picking, or open clean tones. With controls of 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-position selector, it keeps things simple: quickly shaping the tone, cleaning up with volume, and switching registers without getting lost in complex electronics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, you can consider a set of electric guitar strings gauge 010-046 (matching the D'Addario 010-046 setup indicated). This helps maintain consistent feel and tension, especially with the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length.
