Solid Spruce Top Projects a Powerful and Resonant Voice

The LBQ2 features a solid spruce top known for its excellent projection and tonal balance. Spruce is a classic choice for acoustic instruments, offering a wide dynamic range and clear articulation, allowing each note to ring with clarity and definition. Paired with mahogany back and sides, this combination produces a warm, full sound with plenty of sustain. Mahogany contributes to the instrument's midrange richness and overall tonal complexity, making it ideal for both rhythmic accompaniment and melodic leads in various genres, from Norteño and Tejano to contemporary folk and world music. The single pearloid mica adds a touch of visual flair to the instrument's traditional aesthetic.

 

Comfortable Neck and Adjustable Truss Rod Ensure Optimal Playability

The LBQ2 boasts a comfortable neck profile with an adjustable truss rod, making it easy to play for hours on end. Whether you're fingerpicking intricate melodies or strumming powerful chords, the neck will feel comfortable and familiar in your hands. The walnut fretboard with 21 frets provides smooth playability and accurate intonation, ensuring that every note rings true. Walnut offers a balanced tone with good clarity and a smooth feel under your fingertips. True bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and contribute to the instrument's overall resonance. These natural materials promote efficient vibration transfer, resulting in a lively and responsive instrument.

 

Handcrafted Details Elevate the Instrument's Visual Appeal

This bajo quinto is an excellent choice for musicians seeking a high-quality instrument with traditional craftsmanship. The wood marquetry, a decorative technique using different wood veneers, highlights the instrument's handcrafted nature and adds a touch of elegance. The H. Jimenez style dot inlays provide a subtle yet distinctive visual accent to the walnut fretboard.
