A classic model with a fresh new look
The BTE-1-RSM/M features a TL-style body shape and is equipped with two single-coil pickups. Combined with the characteristics of the roasted maple neck and fingerboard, it delivers a crisp and sharp sound. Featuring a tortoise shell pickguard, a first for this model, it offers a distinct look and feel compared to previous models.
Color Lineup
The lineup includes a total of six colors, such as the classic 3TS (3-Tone Sunburst), the pastel-colored PTL-SOB (Pastel Sonic Blue), and the metallic CAR (Candy Apple Red).
The variations in color and texture against each color serve as accents, and the tortoiseshell pickguard adds a unique touch to the overall look.

Since its launch in August 2025, the BTLC-1-RSM/R has been well-received, and now the lineup has been expanded to include the popular colors IBM (Ice Blue Metallic) and Gun-M (Gun Metallic). The light reflection and depth of color unique to metallic finishes, combined with gold accents, create an elegant presence.
About the BTLC-1-RSM/R
TL body with a large pickguard
The most distinctive feature of this instrument is the large pickguard on the top of the body. Setting it apart from standard TL models, this design covers approximately half of the top and lends the instrument a striking presence.
Back contouring designed with the player in mind
The body back features a contoured design that gently hugs the body during performance. This design minimizes fatigue even during extended playing sessions, ensuring comfortable playability. The design prioritizes not only aesthetic appeal but also practicality.
The refined accents provided by the fingerboard and neck
The rosewood fingerboard features binding and block inlays, enhancing its visual splendor.
The roasted maple neck not only increases rigidity and provides stability but also adds a soft touch to the instrument when viewed from different angles, striking a perfect balance that prevents it from feeling too heavy.
