Bacchus JT Tactics24-QM RSM/M BLKS

Japan Tune-up: the modern Bacchus spirit, designed for performance

Part of the Japan Tune-up series, the JT TACTICS24-QM RSM/M BLKS positions itself as an electric guitar focused on playability: ergonomics, stability, and useful tonal options in real-world situations. Made in Indonesia, it focuses on a coherent set of features (stainless steel frets, Wilkinson tremolo, locking tuners) and a Black Satin open-pore (open-pore) finishing that encourages quick handling and a clean, highly contemporary look.

Which guitarists and styles is it suited to?

With its LP shape and resolutely modern specifications (24 frets, tremolo, coil tap), this Bacchus is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an instrument capable of covering several registers without making things complicated. The humbucker provides the body and sustain needed for rock, hard rock, powerful riffs, and singing leads, while the coil tap opens up brighter territory for pop, light funk, indie, or more defined arpeggios.

The long scale length (25.5" / 648 mm) and comfortable radius (305 mm / 12") encourage precise attack, controlled bends, and reliable tuning stability in both standard and slightly lowered tunings, while retaining a modern playing feel.

A clear, responsive tone, adjustable via the coil tap

The combination of a maple neck and maple key highlights a crisp attack, clear definition, and precise high-end response, ideal for separating notes in a mix. The presence of a quilted maple top/body (along with the mention of walnut in the construction) follows the same direction: an articulate response with a fast feel beneath the fingers.

On the electronics side, the humbucker delivers a solid foundation: pronounced mids, controlled lows, and comfortable sustain for solos. Engaging the coil tap produces a thinner, more "open" register, making it practical for brightening up a distorted tone, adding more air to rhythm parts, or moving from a verse to a chorus without changing guitars. The 1 volume and 1 tone controls make it easy to shape the character, while the 3-way selector provides quick tonal variation (depending on the original wiring).

The Wilkinson tremolo adds an expressive dimension (vibrato, light dives, shimmer), while remaining practical for everyday use thanks to the self-lubricating TUSQ XL nut and locking tuners—two key elements for reducing friction and keeping the guitar in tune.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, we recommend a set of Elixir NANOWEB Light .010-.046 strings (or any 010-046 set for electric guitar). A selection of picks in different thicknesses and a microfiber cloth are also universal essentials for maintaining the satin finishing and ensuring playing comfort.
