The BST-1-RSM/M: The "Type S" Spirit Revisited in the Universe Range
With the BST-1-RSM/M, Bacchus offers an accessible and coherent interpretation of the "Type S" format, designed to deliver modern sensations while retaining a familiar sonic DNA. The Universe series focuses on essentials: effective ergonomics, intuitive electronics, and material choices aimed at stability. Here, the distinctive element is the use of torrefied maple for the neck and fingerboard, a sought-after approach to achieve a guitar that is more consistent against humidity variations, with a "drier" and more precise attack, and an overall sound that evokes a well-played instrument.
Who is the Bacchus BST-1-RSM/M OWH For?
This Bacchus is perfectly suited for serious beginners looking for an inspiring first electric guitar, as well as intermediate guitarists seeking a versatile instrument for rehearsals, home studio, and occasional gigs. Its "Type S" format is a classic for comfort: natural seated position, good standing balance, and easy access to the high frets thanks to the body shape.
In terms of styles, the S-S-S configuration and 1 volume, 2 tone wiring are particularly suitable for pop, funk, blues, indie, classic rock, and all clean or slightly overdriven textures. With a good amp setting, it can also cover more aggressive registers while maintaining clear note definition.
A Clear, Dynamic, and "Vintage" Sound Palette Thanks to the S-S-S and Torrefied Maple
The Original S-S-S pickup set emphasizes clarity, attack, and dynamics: the neck pickup generally provides an ideal roundness for melodies, arpeggios, and softer blues tones, while the bridge pickup offers a sharper register for riffs, punchy rhythms, and leads that need to cut through the mix. The 5-position selector allows quick switching between characters, with intermediate positions appreciated for their scooped and bright tones, very effective in rhythm playing.
The torrefied maple neck and fingerboard deliver an immediate response feel, with clear articulation and a "drier," more controlled sound impression, while remaining musical. Torrefied maple is achieved through a high-temperature treatment that reduces moisture and natural wood residues, contributing to stability and potentially enhancing the instrument's consistency over time. Combined with a hardwood body, this results in a versatile tonal balance: present mids, a crisp attack, and a solid foundation for shaping the sound via the two tone controls and the amplifier.
The synchronized trem bridge completes this "Type S" character by adding an expressive dimension: light vibratos, subtly animated chords, or more pronounced effects depending on your setup. For optimal tuning stability, proper setup (tremolo balance, action, intonation) will make a real difference, and the included wrench is a good asset for routine maintenance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully enjoy the guitar from day one, you may want to get a set of 6-string electric guitar strings (gauge chosen according to your comfort), as well as picks and a microfiber cloth to preserve the Olympic White finish and maintain a pleasant playing feel on the neck.
