A Bacchus Global Designed for Modern Playing and the Stage
The Bacchus Global TACTICS24-FM-GK follows a clear philosophy: to offer a contemporary instrument focused on performance, combining effective wood choices, modern luthiery, and electronics tailored for versatility. Made in Indonesia, it stands out mainly for its factory integration of the GK-5: a real advantage for guitarists wanting to access the world of synthetic sounds, orchestral textures, or hybrid setups (guitar + synth) with a clean look and stage-friendly ergonomics.
Who the TACTICS24-FM-GK is For: Versatility, Rock, Metal, Fusion, and Synth Worlds
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an instrument capable of covering multiple styles without changing guitars. The humbucker configuration with coil tap allows navigation between rock, hard rock, modern metal, funky grooves, powerful pop, and fusion. The addition of GK Control opens the door for stage musicians, composers, and sound creators who want to trigger synth textures, pads, string sounds, or electronic layers while retaining a genuine guitar feel under the fingers.
Dual-Identity Electronics: Expressive Guitar + Integrated GK-5 Control
At the heart of the TACTICS24-FM-GK is a humbucker delivering a dense, mid-rich sound, ideal for distortion and sustain-heavy leads. The coil tap provides a more open, sharper response, practical for airier rhythms, arpeggios, or articulated clean tones. Controls remain intuitive (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-position selector), with ergonomics enhanced by the GK Control: you maintain immediate access to synth volume/control and tone changes related to the GK system, all with main wiring integrated into the body for a clean visual finish.
Regarding playability, the roasted maple neck offers appreciable stability, and the stainless steel frets enhance precision, attack, and longevity. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length promotes crisp string tension, perfect for standard tuning and clear attacks, while the 305 mm radius (approximately 12") facilitates bends, legato, and low action setup.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes factory-strung with D'Addario 010-046: to maintain the same feel and vibrato balance, you can stick with this gauge when replacing strings. The locking tuners work particularly well with standard-end strings, and the Graph Tech Tusq XL nut helps reduce friction during vibrato returns. The guitar is delivered with a gig bag, a wrench, and a tremolo arm.
