BACCHUS BSH-STD-GK electric guitar

The secret alliance between the centuries-old lutherie tradition and cutting-edge technological innovation gives birth to an extraordinary instrument: the Bacchus BSH-STD-GK. Designed under the demanding eye of parent company DEVISER, founded in 1977 in Matsumoto, this ST-style guitar embodies the heritage of exceptional artisans who broke away from American standards to forge their own sonic and visual identity.

Each guitar in the Global Series benefits from intransigent quality control. It undergoes a final, meticulous inspection at the technical center in Matsumoto, Japan, before being shipped to you. This guarantees an irreproachable finish and the long-term reliability of a true professional tool.

The Organic Marriage of Nyatoh and Roasted Maple

The selected Nyatoh body provides a rich, warm, and balanced resonance, perfect for magnifying every nuance of your playing. It creates the ideal foundation for long, harmonic-rich, singing notes.

The heart of this guitar lies in its gorgeous Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard. This thermal treatment process extracts moisture and impurities from the wood, simulating the natural aging process of a vintage instrument. The result? Rock-solid stability against temperature changes, a silky-smooth feel for effortless playability, and that organic, open, and dynamic tone sought after by purists.

SSH Configuration and Premium Hardware

Equipped with an original pickup set in an S-S-H (Single-Single-Humbucker) layout, the BSH-STD-GK excels in versatility. From pristine, crystalline twang in the neck position to the powerful roar of the bridge humbucker (which can be split into a single coil via the Push/Pull tone knob), it adapts beautifully to everything from soulful Blues to modern Rock.

The Wilkinson® WV2-CR tremolo bridge, combined with high-quality locking tuners, ensures flawless tuning stability, even during expressive whammy bar use. The Graphtech® TUSQ XL nut completes the package, optimizing sustain and vibration transfer.

A Bridge to the Future: Integrated BOSS® GK-5 Pickup

The true revolution of this model is the factory installation of the brand-new BOSS® GK-5 polyphonic pickup, fully compatible with latest-generation guitar synthesizers such as the BOSS® GM-800. Forget about bulky external modules taped to your guitar body: the main circuit is elegantly integrated inside the routing for a clean, professional look.

Directly from your fingertips, control a whole universe of futuristic soundscapes (pads, brass, synth textures) using the on-board controls:

• GK Vol: Adjusts the volume of your guitar synthesizer.

• GK Tone Selector: Switches between your various synthesizer patches.

• 3-way Toggle Switch (GK / MIX / GUITAR): Instantly choose to output the synth audio only, mix both the traditional pickups and the synth together, or rely solely on the 100% magnetic electric guitar tone.

Note: The guitar works flawlessly as a regular standalone electric guitar through a traditional amplifier using a standard instrument cable. For synthesizer operation, a compatible processor (e.g., GM-800) and BOSS® BGK digital serial cables are required and sold separately.
