Bacchus Universe BST-2-RSM/R 3TS

Essential Information About the Bacchus Universe BST-2-RSM/R 3TS Guitar

• Torrefied maple neck: increased stability, more "played" feel, richer and more organic response.


• S-S-H pickup configuration: single coil clarity + humbucker power to cover everything from clean tones to heavy crunch.


• Versatile electronics: 1 volume, 2 tone controls with coil tap and 5-position selector switch to multiply tonal textures.


• Synchronized tremolo bridge: ideal for expressive vibratos and "Type S" style effects.

A Modern "Type S" in the Spirit of the Universe Series

The BST-2-RSM/R is part of Bacchus' Universe series: an accessible approach designed to offer a guitar with a classic look and feel while integrating current, practical choices for everyday use. Here, the distinctive element is the use of torrefied maple on the neck: this high-temperature treatment reduces moisture and natural wood residues to improve strength, durability, and stability (handy if you play often, transport the instrument, or regularly change string gauges). The result is a guitar that retains the familiar ergonomics of an "S" style body, with a more mature tonal character and a distinctly vintage grain.

Who Is It For? A Versatile Electric Guitar, From Motivated Beginners to Stage Guitarists

Thanks to its TYPE S shape, immediate playability, and long scale length, this Bacchus is well suited for beginner guitarists seeking a serious, evolving instrument capable of withstanding rehearsals. It also appeals to intermediate players looking for a "Swiss Army knife" guitar: funk, pop, blues, rock, indie, worship, reggae, and even light hard rock via the bridge humbucker. The synchronized tremolo opens the door to nuances (chord vibratos, subtle effects, expressive leads), while the electronics with coil tap help switch from a round, powerful register to sharper, snappier attacks without changing guitars.

A Wide Tonal Palette: Snappy, Round, Powerful... with a "Torrefied" Touch

The S-S-H configuration is one of the best compromises to cover a wide range of styles. The single coils in the neck and middle positions provide the definition, "snap," and articulation needed for clean rhythms, funky chops, and arpeggios. The humbucker in the bridge position adds output level, midrange density, and a stronger low end: perfect for riffs, leads with comfortable sustain, and thicker overdrives.

The control circuit with 1 volume + 2 tone controls featuring coil tap and a 5-position selector allows fine shaping of the balance between brightness and warmth. The coil tap (depending on wiring) is used to achieve airier, sharper tones by "lightening" the humbucker, useful for returning to a more single coil-like color and better sit in a mix. Add to that a torrefied maple neck: you often get a more immediate response feel, a character perceived as more "organic," and a tonal color evoking a well-played guitar with a more vintage tone. Finally, the rosewood fingerboard helps round off the attack and provides a pleasant feel, while the Synchronized Trem bridge maintains the "Type S" identity: crisp attacks, brightness, and expressiveness.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To fully enjoy the guitar right out of the case, you can prepare a set of electric guitar strings in standard gauge (e.g., 09-42 or 10-46 depending on your touch), as well as a stock of plectrums suited to your style (flexible for strumming, thicker for precise playing). A tuner (clip-on or pedal) is also a very useful complement, especially with a tremolo, to maintain optimal tuning stability.
