New DX models with stainless steel frets and heel-less cut designs 【Bacchus Universe Series】
The new “BTE-1DX RSM/M” and “BPB-1DX RSM/M” from the entry-level “DX” (Deluxe) series with modern specs are now available. These models bring features like stainless steel frets and a heel-less cut at the neck joint, while maintaining the quality that exceeds the price for which the Universe series is known.
Shared Specs
Stainless Steel Frets
Medium Jumbo size stainless steel frets are used for superior durability. They are harder than regular nickel silver frets and last longer because they are less prone to wear. Furthermore, they also offer advantages sound-wise, delivering a clear tone with a sense of articulation and extended sustain.
Heel-less Cut
A bolt-on joint that eliminates the neck plate and incorporates a heel-less cut allows smooth fingering up to the high frets.
Roasted Maple Neck
These new models also feature a roasted maple neck, a fairly recent innovation from Bacchus. This not only reduces warping and twisting, which are common problems with necks, but also produces a aged sound reminiscent of vintage guitars.
Color Variation
The “DX” models have yet another attractive point, which is their color lineup based on those found in high-end Aska-made models. Please find the color that suits your personality best!
