A Bacchus "Type S": The Universe Spirit Serving Versatility
The Bacchus Universe GS-2DX RSM/M belongs to the Universe series, designed to offer an accessible, coherent, and ready-to-play electric guitar while integrating distinctly modern choices. Here, the formula combines a Type S format (familiar, very balanced ergonomics) with "performance"-oriented elements such as stainless steel frets and coil tap. Manufactured in China and offered in a Fiesta Red finish, it aims for a clear and dynamic aesthetic with a true vocation: to cover a wide range of styles without limiting itself to a single register.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its pickup configuration and vibrato, the GS-2DX RSM/M FR is particularly suitable for serious beginner to intermediate guitarists looking for a first "real" versatile guitar, but also for more advanced musicians who want a practical instrument for rehearsing, recording at home, or performing concerts without stress. The 25.5" scale length and relatively flat radius promote clean playing, both in chords and lead.
Style-wise, it feels at home in rock, pop, funk, modern blues, and metal (depending on settings and amp). Clean sounds benefit from the middle position, while saturations find body in the stronger positions. The coil tap mini switch adds a very useful dimension: switching from a dense and emphasized tone to a finer response, ideal for crisp rhythms or more airy arpeggios.
Sound Character: Balance, Attack, and H-S-H Versatility
The poplar body emphasizes overall balance and consistent response: a present midrange, a clear attack, and a sound that easily adapts to different amp and pedal settings. Combined with a torrefied maple neck, it generally delivers a sensation of precision and speed, with a touch that encourages articulation (ghost notes, muting, back-and-forth patterns) and good clarity when pushing the gain.
The announced H-S-H configuration covers several "families" of sounds: a humbucker for compact riffs, a single coil in the middle for sharper intermediate positions, then another humbucker for leads and thicker saturations. The coil tap (mini switch) provides a welcome alternative by refining the character, with more brightness and a more "snappy" response, useful for cutting through the mix without raising the volume. Finally, the stainless steel frets also contribute to the feel: smoother slides, consistent bends, and a very direct playing sensation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar is specified with a gauge of 010-046: to maintain the original feel (tension, vibrato response, overall balance), prioritize 10-46 electric strings. This is the safest choice if you want to immediately recover the factory touch and dynamics. A gig bag and a truss rod wrench are included, so you are already ready for transport and basic adjustments.
