BST-4-RSM/R-BPPG

Introduction

The first H-S-H layout in the BST series

A new model featuring an H-S-H pickup configuration has been added to the “BST,” a staple of the Universe Series equipped with a roasted maple neck. While retaining its traditional look, the addition of a humbucker in the neck position further expands its tonal range. The lineup includes the four metallic colors common to the BPPG (Black Pearl Pickguard) models, as well as the traditional OWH (Olympic White).

H-S-H Pickup & Coil Tap

Featuring a modern H-S-H pickup configuration with humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Pulling up the tone knob activates the coil-tap function, allowing you to produce a sound similar to that of a single-coil pickup. This enables a wide range of tones to suit today’s diverse music scene, from rock to pop.

Black Pearl Pickguard (BPPG)

As its name suggests, the “Black Pearl Pickguard” is designed to evoke the lustrous white sheen and elegant black hue characteristic of black pearls. Its refined texture and substantial presence lend the model a sophisticated aura.

Roasted Maple Neck

■About Roasted Maple

Roasted maple is a type of wood that has been heat-treated at high temperatures to evaporate moisture and oils, artificially replicating the aged state of natural wood. Wood that has undergone this aging process is less prone to warping and twisting. When used for the neck, this material offers not only enhanced stability but also improves the sound, producing a rich, natural resonance and a mature, vintage-like tone. While typically found in high-end models, we have successfully made it available at an affordable price point.

*Please note that the degree of color change due to the roasting process and the wood grain pattern of the maple wood may vary from unit to unit.
