Introducing the New “GS-HOLLOW” Models with a Semi-Hollow Body [Bacchus Global Series]

Based on Bacchus’s modern-style G-STUDIO, the Global Series is introducing two new models, these “GS-HOLLOW”, feature a semi-hollow body. The soundhole brings out a rich, resonant tone, and the lightweight design ensures a comfortable playing experience even during long performances. In addition to the standard model, we are also releasing the “GS-HOLLOW-CTM”, which features a beautiful black body accented with an elegant gold hardware details.

GS-HOLLOW

Colors: BR-S-MH/BLU-S-MH/S-SW-MH
Release: October 2026

We’re introducing three models, each with a distinct color scheme. The BR-S-MH, with its satin finish, is paired with a tortoiseshell-patterned pickguard, giving it a warm, furniture-like appearance. The BLU-S, also featuring a satin finish, comes with a black pickguard, creating a cooler look that makes the blue stand out. The S-SW-MH features a glossy finish that gently highlights the body’s wood grain. Each model features a headstock in a color that matches the body, further accentuating its unique character.

Featuring a soundhole that is slightly smaller than standard, it creates a sleeker appearance. This design incorporates an elbow contour, a feature often omitted in semi-hollow-body guitars due to structural constraints. The design prioritizes not only aesthetics but also playing comfort.

It features a 6-point-mounted tremolo unit and supports whammy bar play. The standard model is equipped with original H-S-S-configuration pickups, combining single-coil and humbucker pickups. The 5-way pickup selector allows for a wide range of tones, making it suitable for a variety of musical genres and playing styles.

Also, it has a coil-tap blender, allowing you to adjust the coil-tap level on the bridge humbucker. Turning the knob all the way down not only produces a single-coil tone but also enables you to create sounds that fall somewhere between a humbucker and a single-coil pickup, thanks to its adjustable nature.

GS-HOLLOW-CTM

Color: BLK
Release: October 2026

This custom GS-HOLLOW is finished in black and features gold hardware and block inlays. Unlike the standard model, it features an H-H configuration with covered humbucker pickups. The design emphasizes luxurious aesthetics and a more powerful sound.

The black-colored matching head features a gold Bacchus logo. Together with the sharply contoured soundhole, it lends the instrument a more sophisticated look.

While the GS-HOLLOW features a maple neck, the GS-HOLLOW-CTM uses a mahogany neck. Compared to maple, mahogany tones down the high frequencies and produces a warm tone that complements the sound of humbuckers. It features a 3-way selector switch, making it ideal for simple and intuitive sound shaping.

Pulling up the tone knob activates the humbucker coil-tap function in both the neck and bridge positions, allowing you to switch to a single-coil tone.
