BACCHUS TACTICS24-QM RSM/M electric guitar

The story of Deviser began in 1977 in Nagano, Japan, within a small workshop of passionate craftsmen. Driven from the very beginning by a deep love for traditional luthiery and respect for iconic American silhouettes, these exceptional luthiers spent decades perfecting a unique expertise. After a fire destroyed the original workshop in 1983, the company rose from the ashes to birth the BACCHUS brand in 1991. This was the turning point when the brand's identity truly asserted itself: breaking away from global industrial standards, BACCHUS began shaping high-character instruments, highly acclaimed in Japan for their longevity and inimitable acoustic signature.

Today, JapanGuitar-Handmade.com is proud to carry this heritage forward. As pioneers in distributing BACCHUS in France and Europe for over 12 years, we dedicate our expertise in handcrafted Japanese instruments to passionate musicians, serving as the exclusive distributor for Deviser’s most prestigious brands: Momose, Headway, STR, and Seventy Seven.

The Perfect Balance of Tonewoods: A Raw and Vibrant Aesthetic

The Bacchus TACTICS24-QM RSM/M instantly catches the eye with its natural beauty. Its Quilted Maple top displays dense, moving grain patterns, enhanced by an extremely thin open-pore finish. This specific coating allows the wood pores to breathe, providing a matte, woody, and authentic feel that stands far apart from the stiff finishes of mass-produced instruments.

Beneath this striking appearance lies a Nyatoh body. Renowned for its balanced density, this tonewood endows the instrument with rich acoustic properties, characterized by warm mids, enveloping lows, and incredible sustain. Paired with a maple neck and fingerboard, the guitar gains outstanding dynamics, delivering crisp note definition and crystalline clarity across the entire fretboard.

The Secret of the Japan Tune-Up Series: Handcrafted Perfection

This model belongs to the highly regarded Japan Tune-Up (JT) series. What does this mean for you? The instrument receives individual, expert attention before ever reaching your hands. Following initial assembly, each guitar is sent to the specialized Deviser Technical Center in Matsumoto, located just meters away from the famous Aska Workshop. There, experienced Japanese craftsmen refine the instrument point by point:

• Fret Processing and Leveling: To prevent buzz while maintaining a low, effortless string action, every single fret undergoes precision adjustments. The fret edges are meticulously rounded by hand using multiple files and sandpaper, ensures a completely smooth feel as your hand glides along the fingerboard.

• Graphtech® TUSQ XL Nut Adjustment: The nut slots are carefully filed to the perfect depth, and the edges are rounded to guarantee ideal string movement, flawless intonation, and optimal action right from the first frets.

The result? An addictive, fluid playing experience. Your guitar arrives perfectly set up, stable, and ready for the stage or the studio the moment you open the case.

Modern Features & Complete Versatility

Behind its traditional soul, the TACTICS24-QM features specs tailored for modern players. It features a 24-fret specification equipped with wear-resistant stainless steel Jumbo frets. Virtually indestructible, these frets provide an ultra-smooth surface that makes string bending effortless.

Comfort has been integrated into every angle: the heel-cut design removes the traditional neck plate to open up access to the highest frets, while the contoured body back allows the guitar to rest naturally against you for stress-free, prolonged playing sessions.

Hardware and electronics offer total versatility. The Wilkinson® WVS50IIK 2-stud tremolo bridge provides remarkably smooth arming, perfectly supported by locking tuners that dramatically improve tuning stability and speed up string changes. The two Original Humbucker pickups deliver thick, powerful, and well-defined tones. Need single-coil snap and clarity? The built-in Coil Tap mini-switch lets you instantly split the pickups, expanding the sonic horizons of this tone machine.
