Universe: Bacchus DNA in a series designed for frequent, long playing
The Bacchus Universe GS-4DX RSM/M IBM belongs to the Universe range, a series designed to offer an effective, well-equipped, and accessible "S-type" guitar, while maintaining high standards on elements that matter daily: neck comfort, tuning stability, and sonic versatility. Made in China, it aims for an excellent equipment-to-price ratio, with choices clearly oriented toward the needs of today's guitarists (H-S-H, coil tap, stainless frets, synchronized vibrato).
An "S-Type" electric guitar to progress, record, and cover multiple styles
With its "TYPE S" ergonomics, the GS-4DX RSM/M IBM is very suitable for beginner guitarists seeking a guitar that can evolve, as well as for intermediate players looking for a reliable instrument to rehearse, record at home, or play in a band. The H-S-H configuration facilitates the transition between saturated sounds for rock and metal, more precise rhythms for pop, and snappier attacks for funk or detailed clean tones.
The coil tap (mini-switch) is a real advantage to multiply tonal colors without changing guitars: you keep the gain reserve of the humbuckers while having access to finer, sharper textures when the song demands it.
Sound character: H-S-H, coil tap, and responsive woods for a very wide palette
The poplar body provides a balanced response, with present mids and a "lively" feel under the fingers. Combined with a torrefied maple neck and fingerboard, it generally delivers a clear attack, good chord clarity, and appreciable definition in both clean and crunch sounds. The torrefied maple also adds a sense of rigidity and consistency that promotes setup stability (action/relief) throughout the seasons.
On the electronics side, the Original H-S-H pickup set is designed to cover a maximum of situations: the humbuckers (bridge and neck positions) provide output level, sustain, and an ideal base for saturated sounds, while the central single-coil adds extra clarity for rhythms and arpeggios. The controls-1 volume, 1 tone, and coil tap-allow quick sound shaping without getting lost, which is especially practical during rehearsals or on stage.
The Synchronized Tremolo completes this versatile profile: it allows subtle vibrato effects, more pronounced "shakes," and expressiveness typical of S-Type guitars. The presence of stainless steel frets enhances playing precision and smoothness while limiting wear caused by bends, repeated pulls, and long practice hours.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the most out of the GS-4DX, a set of electric guitar strings in 010-046 is a safe and directly suitable option for the original setup. A microfiber cloth is also recommended to maintain the finish (polyurethane or polyester depending on manufacturing) and keep the neck clean after playing.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Bacchus Universe GS-4DX RSM/M IBM suitable for rock and metal?
The H-S-H configuration combines two Original humbuckers and one single coil in the middle. The neck and bridge pickups provide higher output for saturated tones, while the middle pickup favors clearer rhythm sounds.
What is the purpose of the coil tap on this Bacchus guitar?
The coil tap mini-switch allows for finer and sharper tonal textures from the humbuckers. The controls also include volume and tone knobs.
What is the comfort level of the neck and fingerboard?
The neck and fingerboard are made of roasted maple, with a 648 mm scale length and a 42 mm nut width. The 320 mm radius and 22 stainless steel frets facilitate bends and smooth playing on the neck. The nut is made of PPS.
Can the vibrato be used without changing the original strings?
The Synchronized Tremolo bridge is fitted with a set of steel strings in 010-046 gauge. This vibrato allows for subtle effects as well as more pronounced shakes.
What accessories come with the guitar?
A gig bag and an adjustment wrench are included. The Ice Blue Metallic finish is offered with either polyurethane or polyester lacquer depending on the production batch.
