Bacchus BST-2-RSM-R-3TS Sunburst Electric Guitar Roasted Maple Neck Rosewood Fingerboard

The Bacchus BST-2-RSM-R-3TS brings together premium roasted Maple neck construction, a warm Rosewood fingerboard, and an incredibly flexible HSS pickup system with coil‑tap functionality. Finished in the classic 3‑Tone Sunburst, this guitar is designed for players who want authentic Stratocaster® feel plus modern humbucker power – all with the added ability to split the bridge humbucker into a single coil at the push of a tone knob. Whether you’re a blues purist, a rock lead player, or a studio session guitarist, the BST‑2‑RSM‑R delivers more tones than any traditional S‑S‑S guitar.

Roasted Maple Neck – Stability & Speed

The Roasted Maple neck has been heat‑treated to remove moisture and impurities, offering:

• Unmatched stability – Resists warping from humidity and temperature changes.

• Enhanced resonance – Clearer note attack and longer sustain.

• Silky smooth feel – No thick gloss; a fast, satin‑like playing surface.

• Beautiful dark caramel color – Elegant contrast against the sunburst body.

Rosewood Fingerboard – Warmth & Articulation

Paired with the roasted Maple is a genuine Rosewood fingerboard. Rosewood adds:

• Warm, rounded lows – Perfect for blues and jazz phrasing.

• Smooth, oily feel – Comfortable for bends and vibrato.

• Controlled high end – Tames the natural brightness of Maple for a balanced voice.

Nut width : 42.0mm (standard 1.65”) – comfortable for both chord work and single‑note runs.

HSS Pickup Configuration + Coil Tap – Ultimate Versatility

The BST-2-RSM-R features an Original S‑S‑H pickup set (single coil – single coil – humbucker). But the real star is the coil‑tap function integrated into the tone controls.

Control Function

Volume Master volume for all pickups

Tone 1 Neck pickup tone (standard)

Tone 2 Bridge humbucker tone + push/pull coil tap – pulls up to split the humbucker into a true single coil

With the coil tap engaged, the bridge pickup becomes a bright, twangy single coil – giving you classic “quack” in positions 2 and 4 (bridge+middle) or a pure single‑coil bridge tone for country/telecaster sounds.
