Bacchus Universe BST-2-RSM/M SFG

Universe: the Bacchus spirit, access to a guitar inspired by the classics

With the BST-2-RSM/M, Bacchus offers a guitar designed to recapture the feel of great "S-style" guitars while remaining accessible. The Universe series focuses on essentials: immediate playability, reliable craftsmanship, and true sonic versatility. In this SFG (Surf Green) version, the aesthetic nod is clearly vintage, while the choice of torrefied maple adds a more modern touch, oriented towards stability and consistency across seasons and setups.

Who the BST-2-RSM/M is for: a versatile electric to progress quickly

This Bacchus is ideally suited for demanding beginners and intermediate guitarists seeking an easy-to-adjust guitar that feels comfortable under the fingers and can cover multiple styles without being limited to one genre. Its "Type S" format and synchronized tremolo bridge work very well for pop, funk, and indie rhythms, as well as blues and rock. The humbucker in the bridge position helps achieve more thickness and output for riffs, power chords, and leads, while the single-coils retain the snappy and articulate character appreciated for arpeggios and chicken picking.

A rich tonal palette: S-S-H + coil tap and the contribution of torrefied maple

The BST-2-RSM/M is equipped with an Original S-S-H set: two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, and one humbucker pickup at the bridge. The single-coils deliver precise highs, great definition, and the typical "snap" of S-style guitars: perfect for open chords, punchy rhythms, and clear tones that remain distinct in a mix. On the other hand, the bridge humbucker provides more body, stronger mids, and a solid attack, very useful when going into overdrive or distortion.

The electronics enhance versatility: 1 volume, 2 tone controls (with coil tap) and a 5-position selector. The 5-way selector facilitates quick transitions between round sounds, scooped tones, and more biting tones. The coil tap refines the character of the humbucker by shifting towards a brighter and lighter response, handy for approaching a "single-coil" spirit when you want more air and clarity.

The distinctive feature remains the torrefied maple used for the neck and fingerboard. The thermal treatment reduces residual moisture and stabilizes the wood, which can help maintain a more consistent instrument despite temperature and humidity changes. In terms of feel, it often results in a more direct response: clear attack, well-defined notes, and an organic quality that evokes a "vintage" and already broken-in instrument. Combined with the Type S format and S-S-H electronics, this creates a guitar capable of being both precise in clean tones and convincing in saturated sounds, with good string-to-string clarity.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes with a gig bag and a truss rod wrench, so you're ready for initial setups and transport. To complete a reliable setup, universal and compatible accessories can make a difference: a strap (standard size), a guitar jack cable, a tuner (clip-on or pedal), and a guitar stand to protect it daily.
