The “BEX” models make their debut in a new look!【Bacchus Global Series】

The Bacchus Global Series welcomes back the “BEX” model with its large-size body! This article details the appeal of the newly introduced “BEX-STD/S” and “BEX-CTM Alnico”.

Specs

P-90 Type pickups

「STP-5」

Both models feature STP-5 pickups, which utilizes Alnico 5 magnets known for their warm tone and employs metal braided wire for its wiring. It delivers the sparkling resonance characteristic of single-coil pickups while producing a soft, warm sound.

「STP-Alnico」

The BEX-CTM Alnico features an STP-Alnico in the front position. While sharing the same specifications as the STP-5, an Alnico 5 magnet and metal braided wire wiring, its distinctive staple-shaped pole pieces give it a unique look. Its appeal lies in its natural tone, which includes a slightly acoustic resonance.

Metallic Headstock Logo

• 

The headstock features a metallic-finish head logo, a common specification to both models. Compared to standard headstock logos, its three-dimensional appearance adds a sense of presence to the overall look.

Mahogany Neck

The neck is crafted from mahogany and finished in the same color as the body. Alongside the extended sustain characteristic of the set-neck construction, mahogany imparts a warm sound with an emphasis in the mid-to-low frequencies to the instrument’s character.

T.O.M-type Bridge

Features a T.O.M. type bridge that transmits string vibration more directly to the body. Without a tremolo unit, string tension remains stable, making tuning more resistant to drifting. Furthermore, the direct transmission of string vibration to the body facilitates a mechanism that readily produces sustain.

Color Lineup

「BEX-STD/S」

The BEX-STD/S is available in three colors: LPB (Lake Placid Blue), WH (White), and COR (Copper Orange). LPB and COR feature a metallic finish for a shiny, lustrous texture. The WH color pairs with a tortoiseshell-patterned pickguard, lending a refined, polished impression to the overall design.

「BEX-CTM Alnico」

The BEX-CTM Alnico features a black finish complemented by gold hardware, block-position markers in its fingerboard, and binding around the body’s perimeter. Its white, black, and gold aesthetic creates a unified look, conveying a sense of high quality and sophistication.
