Bacchus Universe GS-2DX RSM/M CS

Essential Information About the Bacchus Universe GS-2DX RSM/M CS Guitar

• Torrefied maple neck and fingerboard: increased stability and a "fast neck" feel ideal for modern playing styles.


• Stainless steel frets: excellent wear resistance, smooth bends, and precise attack over time.


• Versatile pickup configuration + coil tap: from clear, crisp tones to thicker saturations via the mini switch.


• Synchronized tremolo vibrato: expressiveness (vibratos, light dive bombs) while maintaining the "Type S" spirit.

A GS-2DX at the Heart of the Universe Series: The "Type S" Spirit by Bacchus

The GS-2DX RSM/M is part of the Universe series, a range designed to offer an electric guitar with a classic "Type S" look while incorporating decidedly modern choices. Here, the modern approach includes a torrefied maple neck for stability, stainless steel frets for longevity, and electronics focused on versatility thanks to the coil tap mini switch. The whole is dressed in a Cherry Sunburst (CS) finish that highlights the traditional style while remaining very stage-friendly.

For Which Guitarist and Styles? A Versatile Electric Guitar, From Groove to Modern Rock

Thanks to its direct playability and "no-nonsense" specifications, this Bacchus is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a comfortable, stable, and adaptable guitar, but it will also work very well as a reliable second guitar for a more advanced musician (rehearsals, home studio, backup guitar). The synchronized tremolo vibrato and the tonal palette offered by the pickup configuration and coil tap make it comfortable in pop, funk, blues, rock, indie, and even heavier styles depending on the amp and settings. In short, it is a guitar that quickly shifts from percussive rhythm to singing lead without being limited to a single genre.

Sound Character: Balanced Poplar, Attack of Torrefied Maple, and H-S-H Palette with Coil Tap

The poplar body is appreciated for its balanced response: clean lows, present mids, and generally controlled highs, making it a versatile foundation for many styles. Combined with the torrefied maple neck and fingerboard, it delivers a responsive playing feel, with a clear attack and good definition, ideal for complex chords, funk chops, and articulated riffs. Torrefied maple also provides a sense of consistency and stability useful when the instrument is subjected to temperature variations or intensive use.

On the electronics side, the guitar features an Original S-S-H pickup set and controls of 1 volume, 1 tone plus a coil tap mini switch. The coil tap allows part of a humbucker's behavior (depending on wiring) to be transformed into a thinner, brighter sound close to a single coil, handy for switching from a clean verse to a more saturated chorus without changing guitars. The spec sheet also mentions an "Original S-S-H set": based on the provided specifications, the main takeaway is the instrument's overall sonic goal, namely a wide range of tones from precise clean to denser distortion. Finally, the stainless steel frets enhance the feeling of smoothness and bend precision while minimizing maintenance related to fret wear over time.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay within the original specifications, an electric string set with gauge 010-046 is the safest choice to maintain the intended feel and tension balance. A microfiber cloth is also perfect for routine maintenance of the polyurethane or polyester finish (depending on batches), helping to limit marks and preserve the Cherry Sunburst appearance.
