The Universe Series: Bacchus Spirit at an Accessible Price with Premium Choices
The Bacchus Universe BTE-2-RSM/M belongs to the Universe series, a range designed to offer an electric guitar inspired by classic models while incorporating features often reserved for higher-end instruments. Here, the standout element is the roasted maple used on the neck and fingerboard: a thermal treatment that reduces residual moisture and stabilizes the wood to achieve a more consistent response and better durability over time. Bacchus thus highlights a very "luthiery" approach in a guitar made in China, with the clear goal of offering an especially attractive feel/tone/price ratio.
Who Is the BTE-2-RSM/M For? From the First Real Instrument to the Stage Guitar
Thanks to its TYPE T format, immediate playability, and simple electronics, the BTE-2-RSM/M is very suitable for the serious beginner guitarist who wants a stable and inspiring guitar, as well as the intermediate level player looking for a reliable "workhorse" to rehearse, record, and play in a band. The P-90 + single coil combination covers a wide range of styles: rock, indie, blues, punk, pop, country, and even funk (for snapping rhythms). The 22 frets also open the door to more melodic playing and comfortable solos, without changing the instrument's direct and expressive DNA.
A Nervous and Organic Sound Signature: Roasted Maple + TYPE TE Bridge + P-90
The personality of this Bacchus is built around three pillars. First, the roasted maple neck and fingerboard provide a fast response, precise attack, and a very "alive" dynamic feel. Roasting tends to produce a tone perceived as more mature and organic, with a balance that evokes a guitar that has already worked and vibrated over time.
Next, the hardwood body (composite hardwood) promotes a balanced, centered, and effective sonic foundation: present but not overwhelming lows, mids that hold well in the mix, and clear highs to maintain definition. The TE Type Bridge enhances the attack and the natural "twang" of the format, while maintaining good note sustain for heavy riffs and tight rhythms.
Finally, the Original P-90 + single coil pickup configuration delivers a particularly musical character. The P-90 is known for its grain: thicker than a single coil but more open and articulated than a humbucker. It excels at expressive crunches, singing leads, and rock rhythms that need to stay clear. The single coil complements the set with a snappier register, ideal for bright arpeggios, funk "chicken picking," and cutting saturated tones. With the 3-position selector and 1 volume and 1 tone controls, the electronics are intentionally straightforward: easy to adjust in real situations and perfect for playing with the volume knob and right-hand dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a gig bag and a truss rod wrench, convenient for transport and maintenance. For daily use, you can safely choose a set of 6-string electric guitar ball-end strings, compatible with this type of bridge, as well as a standard strap for comfortable standing play.
