A Bacchus Universe Designed as a Solid Entry into the Type T World
The Bacchus Universe BTE-1-RSM/M follows a simple and straightforward approach: offering a reliable electric guitar that feels good in the hand and focuses on the essentials. With its sober Black finish and "Type T" format, it targets guitarists who want an instrument clear in its intentions, without extras, while enjoying sought-after elements like the torrefied maple neck.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This guitar is particularly suited for beginners looking for a serious first electric, as well as intermediate players seeking an accessible "Type T" for rehearsing, home recording, or setting up a simple stage rig. Its two single-coil pickups (S-S) configuration highlights styles that require detail and attack: pop, indie, funk, country, classic rock, and all parts in clean or slightly crunchy tones. The 3-position selector allows quick switching between pickups to vary colors between tight rhythm and more incisive lead.
A Clear, Articulated, and "Cut" Sound: The S-S DNA in Action
The core of the tonal character comes from the Original S-S set. Single-coil pickups are renowned for their definition and ability to let chords breathe: well-defined pick attacks, readable arpeggios, and dynamics that respond to playing nuances. With the 1 volume and 1 tone controls, you can go from a sharp and bright sound to a softer color while maintaining that sense of precision.
The craftsmanship also contributes to this sound. The hardwood body provides a balanced foundation, while the torrefied maple neck and fingerboard promote a quick response and smooth playing feel. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length offers familiar string tension and good note sustain, appreciated for clean rhythms and parts requiring accuracy across the neck. The 15.75" / 400 mm radius supports comfortable playing, with a fingerboard that remains comfortable for both chords and more modern phrasing.
