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, 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 puts this amazing feature, which is often used in high-end models, at a reasonable price range. 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. The single-coil pickup matches the roasted ash body and toasted maple neck very well, offering a crispy, cutting sound.
