Bacchus Universe BTE-3-RSM/M PTL-SOB

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

This BTE-3-RSM/M belongs to the Universe series, a range designed to deliver a direct and effective Bacchus experience, with modern technical choices. The presence of roasted maple on the neck and key clearly places this guitar in a “player” mindset: an instrument built to withstand rehearsals, transportation and temperature changes, while maintaining a consistent touch. Made in China, it aims to offer an excellent balance of playing comfort, carefully executed finishes and sonic versatility.

Who is it for, and which styles? A TYPE T built for modern rock

With its two humbuckers and simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-way selector), this electric guitar is aimed at both motivated beginners and intermediate players looking for a more powerful TYPE T than a single-coil configuration. It excels in rock, punk, hard rock and modern metal: tight riffs, palm mutes, distorted chords and leads that need to remain clear. The minimalist control layout lets you focus on your playing and amplifier, while retaining genuine dynamic options through your picking hand and the volume potentiometer.

A lively, powerful tone: the contribution of roasted maple and humbuckers

The combination of a hardwood body and a roasted maple neck/key produces a highly responsive register, with a clear attack and a precise feel under the fingers. The heat treatment applied to the roasted maple contributes to improved stability and can enhance the impression of a fast response, highly appreciated for modern playing and tunings that require good note retention.

On the electronics side, the Bacchus Original H-H set is designed for 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 clear attacks with distortion. Even with substantial gain, the guitar retains enough separation to keep chords clear. The neck pickup, with its rounder tone, lets you return to thicker, more singing sounds. The 3-way selector covers the essentials: bridge for bite, neck for fullness and the middle position for a balanced compromise.

The TE bridge with 6 individual saddles is a real everyday advantage: you can fine-tune the action and comfort string by string, and adjust the intonation precisely, helping maintain accurate pitch across the entire neck, including with different string gauges.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this guitar, you can plan on a 6-string electric guitar string set (gauge of your choice depending on your tuning and touch), as well as a tuner (pedal or clip-on) to ensure accurate pitch after adjusting the bridge. A gig bag and an adjustment wrench are already included.
