A TACTICS Designed for Versatility Within the Global Series

The Bacchus TACTICS-STD/RSM is part of the Global series, a family of guitars designed to offer the "workhorse guitar" spirit: consistent specifications, reliable assembly, and immediate playability. Here, the approach is clear: combine modern ergonomics (contoured back) with a pickup configuration that stands out from more classic layouts, to switch from a round and dense sound to sharper attacks without losing definition. The 3-Tone Sunburst finish enhances the timeless aspect of the LP format while maintaining its own identity.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its simple controls (1 Volume, 1 Tone, and 3-position selector switch) and very clear sonic character, the TACTICS-STD/RSM is perfectly suited for beginner guitarists who want an expressive electric guitar, as well as intermediate musicians looking for a versatile and easy-to-adjust instrument. The P-90 in the neck position is particularly comfortable in blues, rock, indie, pop, and garage, while the single coil bridge pickup provides the necessary bite for precise rhythms, snappy arpeggios, or more incisive parts. In a band setting, the distinct character separation between the two pickups helps quickly find your place in the mix.

A Sonic Signature: Thickness in the Neck, Clarity at the Bridge

The Original P-90 + single coil configuration is the heart of this Bacchus. On the neck pickup, the P-90 offers a higher output and a denser grain than a typical "vintage" single coil: you get present mids, a fleshy attack, and a nice "push" feel on the amp, very effective for riffs and singing solos. On the bridge pickup, the single coil is sharper and more articulate: ideal for maintaining definition on open chords, chicken picking, or overdriven sounds where you want to preserve the snappy character.

The 3-position selector switch allows quick navigation between these two identities, with an interesting middle position to thicken the sound while retaining a touch of brightness. The Volume/Tone duo remains intentionally straightforward: you control dynamics with the volume knob, and the tone knob rounds off the attack (useful to soften a bright amp or for a mellower register).

On the lutherie side, the nyatoh body tends toward a warm response, with solid mids and a pleasant sustain feel. The vintage fixed type bridge promotes good vibration transmission and stable sustain, while the Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut contributes to better consistency, especially during heavy chords and playing dynamics. Finally, the roasted maple (neck and fingerboard) provides a dry and fast touch, with a stability sensation appreciated in daily use.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, a set of electric strings 010-046 is a safe choice to preserve the feel and tension balance. For use, a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable (mono) is essential, and picks of different thicknesses allow easy exploration of the spectrum between snappy attack (bridge pickup) and thicker grain (P-90 neck). A microfiber cloth is also suitable for maintaining the finish and metal parts.
