Bacchus Universe BST-2-RSM/R SLPK

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

• Torrefied Maple Neck: increased stability, a drier feel, and more direct response, with a vintage character in the tonal color.


• S-S-H Pickup Configuration: clear and precise single-coil sounds and more body in the humbucker position for overdriven tones.


• Versatile Electronics: 1 volume, 2 tone controls (with coil tap), and a 5-position selector switch to cover a wide range of sounds.


• Synchronized Tremolo: ideal for subtle vibrato effects as well as moderate dives, while maintaining the "Type S" spirit.

A "Type S" in the Bacchus Universe Spirit: Access to Versatility

The BST-2-RSM/R is part of Bacchus' Universe series, designed to offer the aesthetics and ergonomics of a "Type S" guitar with reliable and consistent finishing quality. Made in China, this Shell Pink (SLPK) version emphasizes balance: immediate playability, comprehensive electronics, and luthiery focused on stability, notably thanks to the use of a torrefied maple neck. The result is a timeless-looking guitar, designed to be as enjoyable for daily playing as it is effective in rehearsals.

Who the Bacchus BST-2-RSM/R is For: From First Bands to Weekend Gigs

Thanks to its "Type S" format and versatility, this Bacchus is perfectly suited for beginner and intermediate guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of accompanying them for a long time without limiting them to a single style. The S-S-H configuration is particularly relevant for switching from sharp funk to expressive blues, from bright pop to more powerful rock. The synchronized tremolo adds an expressive dimension (chord vibratos, shimmer, accents) while remaining easy to tame. For more advanced players, it is also an excellent "plug and play" base: set up, plug in, record.

A Wide Sound Palette, Supported by the Torrefied Neck and S-S-H Electronics

The distinctive feature of the BST-2-RSM/R is its torrefied maple: this high-temperature treatment reduces moisture and certain resins in the wood, which promotes a feeling of stability and a response often perceived as more lively and organic. In practice, the attack comes through clearly, notes gain clarity, and you get a tone with the charm of a "played-in instrument," with an effortless vintage color.

Regarding pickups, the Original S-S-H set opens up a very complete playground. The single coils deliver clear, detailed sounds, perfect for defined rhythms and arpeggios, while the humbucker provides more output and harmonic density for crunch and distortion. The 5-position selector switch allows instant switching between registers, and the pair of 2 tone controls helps sculpt the high end depending on the amp and pedals. The coil tap (on the tone control) adds an option for brightness and finesse by reducing the humbucker to a more "single-coil" character, useful for brightening a chorus, lightening a rhythm sound, or regaining snap in clean tones.

The synchronized tremolo completes the package with a smooth response: ideal for adding movement to a sustained chord, applying a slight vibrato to a singing note, or creating more expressive effects while staying within reasonable use. Combined with Rotomatic-style tuners, tuning stability is improved for everyday comfort, especially if you take the time to properly stretch new strings and stabilize your setup.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Since the guitar is a 6-string electric with a 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, you can safely equip it with a set of electric guitar strings (common gauges 009-042 for more flexibility or 010-046 for more tension). A strap, a tuner, a guitar stand, and a good-quality jack cable are also safe and universally compatible choices. A gig bag and a truss rod wrench are already included to get started under good conditions.
