Universe: the Bacchus spirit in an accessible and performance-oriented series

This BTE-3-RSM/M belongs to the Universe series, a range designed to offer a direct and efficient Bacchus experience with modern technical choices. The presence of roasted maple on the neck and fingerboard clearly places this guitar in a "player" logic: an instrument made to withstand rehearsals, transport, and temperature changes while maintaining consistent feel. Made in China, it aims for an excellent balance between playing comfort, careful finishes, and sonic versatility.

For whom and for which styles? A TYPE T built for modern rock

With its two humbuckers and simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-position selector), this electric guitar is suitable both for motivated beginners and intermediate players looking for a TYPE T that is beefier than a single-coil configuration. It excels in rock, punk, hard rock, and modern metal: tight riffs, palm mutes, saturated chords, and leads that need to remain clear. The minimalist controls allow focusing on playing and the amp while retaining real dynamic options via the right hand and volume potentiometer.

A punchy and powerful tone: the contribution of roasted maple and humbuckers

The hardwood body + roasted maple neck/fingerboard duo delivers a rather responsive range, with a clear attack and a precise feel under the fingers. The thermal treatment of the roasted maple contributes to better stability and can enhance the impression of quick response, much appreciated for modern playing styles and tunings that require sustain.

On the electronics side, the Bacchus Original H-H set targets power and density. The bridge humbucker, positioned closer to the bridge, delivers a more aggressive and punchy sound: ideal for cutting through a mix, tightening the low mids, and achieving sharp attacks in distortion. Even with high gain, the guitar maintains sufficient separation to keep chords clear. The neck pickup, rounder in tone, allows returning to thicker and singing sounds. The 3-position selector covers the essentials: bridge for bite, neck for fullness, middle position for a balanced compromise.

The TE bridge with 6 individual saddles is a real plus for daily use: you can fine-tune the action and comfort string by string and precisely adjust intonation, which helps maintain clean tuning across the entire neck, including with different string gauges.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this guitar, you can consider a 6-string electric guitar string set (gauge chosen according to your tuning and playing style) as well as a tuner (pedal or clip-on) to secure tuning after bridge adjustment. A gig bag and an adjustment wrench are already included.
