Solid Spruce Top and Mahogany Body Form a Resonant Foundation

The LBQ4E 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. This makes it ideal for the intricate melodies and driving rhythms often found in bajo quinto music. 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.

Comfortable Neck Profile and Fishman Electronics Enhance Playability and Amplified Performance

The LBQ4E 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 adjustable truss rod allows for personalized setup, ensuring comfortable action and optimal playability for every musician, from seasoned professionals to enthusiastic beginners. 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. Equipped with a Fishman Rare Earth pickup, this bajo quinto delivers a natural and amplified sound, capturing the nuances of your playing style with exceptional clarity.
