DOUBLE ROASTED SERIES
Roasted ash body
The most distinctive feature of this model is the “double-roasted” design, in which not only the neck but also the body is made of roasted wood. The body is made of roasted ash, which gives the guitar a vintage-like sound with a good high-mid rise and quick response. The combination with the roasted maple gives a tighter attack.
Roasted maple neck
The roasted maple neck is one of Bacchus’ latest innovations, not because it hasn’t been seen before, but because it is rarely ever seen at such an affordable price. The roasted maple neck has many benefits such as offering a vintage look and sound and offering improved resistance to warping and twisting of the neck, giving better durability overall.
25-inch scale that produces an ideal amount of tension
For this model, we went with a 25-inch scale which is between a long scale (25.5 inches) and a medium scale (24.75 inches). The slightly looser tension than one might expect from the body shape and bolt-on construction creates a unique “loose” feel. This guitar is also recommended for players who feel that long-scale guitars have too much tension which makes choking difficult.
SSH pickup layout + coil tap switch
The SSH pickup layout allows you to create a wide range of sounds that range from clean tones with a well-articulated sound to powerful overdrive sounds, so it is a great option regardless of the genre you want to tackle.
Furthermore, it counts with a coil tap switch, and the rear hum outputs a shimmering sound like a single pickup.
Graphtec TUSQ nut
For the nut, we went with Graphtec’s TUSQ nut, which is highly regarded in terms of both function and sound. It also plays a role in tuning stability.
2-Point Support Wilkinson® Tremolo Unit
It has a two-point supported Wilkinson® WV2-tremolo, which secures a range of motion going both up and down, and achieves tuning stability while giving you access to subtle nuances in your performance.
Locking Tuner
The Locking Tuner (Locking machineheads) is a mechanism in which the rod in the string post rises when the wheel on the back of the peg is turned and locks when the string is clamped.
By reducing the number of windings on the string post, tuning stability is dramatically improved.
Since this mechanism clamps the strings, there is no more need to wind strings, which has the advantage of reducing the time required for string changes and reducing tension blurring.
