The BST-1-RSM/M: The Bacchus Universe Spirit, Designed for Frequent and Long Playing

The Universe series by Bacchus positions itself as an accessible entry point into the brand's world, with a focus on playability and consistency. This BST-1-RSM/M adopts an immediately familiar "Type S" formula while standing out through the use of roasted maple for the neck and fingerboard: a relevant choice to gain stability against humidity and temperature changes and to achieve a more "mature" response from the very first hours of playing.

For Whom and Which Styles? A Versatile Type S to Progress (and Record)

With its comfortable neck, 22 frets, and comprehensive electronics, the Bacchus BST-1-RSM/M is particularly aimed at serious beginners and intermediate guitarists seeking an electric guitar that is easy to set up, pleasant for daily use, and capable of covering multiple genres. The three single-coil pickups excel in clear and slightly crunchy tones: funk rhythm, modern pop, edgy blues, indie, vintage-style rock, and precise arpeggios. The vibrato allows adding nuances (subtle vibrato, "shimmer" chords, more pronounced effects) while maintaining an intuitive feel.

Sound: Attack, Clarity, and "Vintage" Color Thanks to the S-S-S and Roasted Maple

The Original S-S-S set highlights a "single coil" signature: a present high end, excellent note definition, and very responsive dynamics to right-hand attack. The 5-position selector allows exploring very contrasting sounds: a sharper bridge pickup for riffs and rhythms that cut through the mix, a rounder neck pickup for melodies and smooth tones, and intermediate positions for clear, scooped, and snappy textures. The two tone controls offer real control to soften a bright rhythm, round off a lead, or fit the spectrum in a recording.

Regarding luthiery, the hardwood body promotes overall balance and solid foundation, while the roasted maple neck and fingerboard tend to provide a drier and more immediate response sensation, with clear articulation and an organic character. The result: a guitar that remains clear in chords, precise in arpeggios, and very enjoyable when playing with volume and attack to switch from clean to crunch.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of this 6-string with a 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, you can opt for standard electric guitar strings (common gauges 09-42 for more flexibility, or 10-46 for more tension and density). A set of picks with varied thicknesses is also a simple and universal complement to explore all the nuances of single-coil pickups.
