Introduction

ROASTED MAPLE SERIES

Roasted Maple is a material that comes as a result of treating Maple wood with a high-heat process, volatilizing the water and oils in the wood, and giving as a result a more sturdy and durable wood that not only increases stability but also the overall sound quality of the material. The sound that we get from Roasted Maple is a rich, organic sound with a vintage-like tone that is reminiscent of an instrument that has aged its sound with time and usage. This is a new product lineup of Bacchus that brings this amazing feature, which is often used in high-end models, down to a reasonable price range.

*There’s a degree of color variation due to the roasting process and the difference in the grain of each maple piece being treated.

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.

TL type single coil that matches the double roasted looks well

The single-coil pickup matches the roasted ash body and toasted maple neck very well, offering a crispy, cutting sound.

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.
