Bacchus Universe BTE-1-RSM/M 3TS

The Universe series: Bacchus spirit accessible, without compromising playing pleasure

With the BTE-1-RSM/M 3TS, Bacchus offers an electric guitar in TYPE T format designed to provide the essentials: simple and effective luthiery, familiar ergonomics, and straightforward electronics. This "plug and play" approach emphasizes musicality and responsiveness while maintaining a classic aesthetic. Made in China, it fits a value-for-money logic, ideal for serious gear acquisition or complementing a guitar arsenal without complications.

For whom and for which styles? A versatile and intuitive electric guitar

The Bacchus Universe BTE-1-RSM/M is well suited for beginners seeking a comfortable and motivating guitar, as well as intermediate players looking for a simple, reliable, and expressive instrument. Thanks to its two single-coil pickups and minimalist controls (1 volume, 1 tone), it allows work on right-hand technique, dynamics, and nuance with both pick and fingers.

Its "TYPE T" DNA makes it particularly comfortable in country (snappy attacks), blues (articulated phrases), rock (clean rhythms), funk (precise chops), and pop. In bridge pickup position, you get a clear and defined presence; in neck pickup position, the tone becomes rounder and more singing; the middle position balances clarity and warmth for clean and open rhythms.

Sound: attack, definition, and "twang" serving the playing

The hardwood body provides a balanced sonic foundation with a rather direct response: ideal for a guitar that needs to remain clear in a mix. The torrefied maple neck (as well as the torrefied maple fingerboard) contributes to a drier and more responsive playing feel, with precise attack and good touch stability. The result is an instrument that responds quickly, highlights pick attacks, and maintains definition on chords.

The Original S-S set (two single coils) favors clarity, dynamics, and a "cut through the mix" quality. The 3-position selector allows choosing an immediately usable tone without multiplying controls: bridge pickup for bite and riffs, neck pickup for softer lines, and both combined for a balanced texture. The TE Type Bridge enhances the clean and articulated character, while the Nickel Silver frets promote a smooth glide feel and stable intonation when properly set up.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best out of this guitar daily, you can choose a 6-string electric guitar string set suited for a 25.5" / 648 mm scale length (for example gauge 009-042 or 010-046 depending on your comfort), as well as a set of picks to explore different attacks and dynamics.
