What is a bajo quinto?
A bajo quinto is a traditional stringed instrument commonly used in Mexican music, especially in tejano and norteno styles. It features ten strings arranged in five courses, typically tuned in fourths, providing a deep, rich sound that complements the higher-pitched instruments in an ensemble. The bajo quinto is known for its ability to produce strong bass lines while also offering melodic capabilities, making it a versatile instrument in various musical genres.

Enhanced electronics for superior tone
The LBQ1GXE is equipped with a bajo-voiced active Fishman RareEarth soundhole pickup, specifically designed to amplify the deep, rich tones of the bajo quinto. This advanced pickup system includes a convenient volume control, allowing you to adjust your sound on the fly. Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio, the active Fishman pickup ensures your music shines through with powerful projection and detailed tonal accuracy.

Premium wood selection and craftsmanship
This instrument features a solid spruce top known for its strong projection, paired with laminated mahogany back and sides for added warmth and depth. The Moon phase inlay and Sunfire rosette add to its celestial theme, while the traditional bone nut and saddle provide enhanced tonal stability. The adjustable truss rod allows you to fine-tune the neck to your preference, ensuring comfortable playability across the walnut fretboard.

Precision hardware and durable design
Designed with the performer in mind, the LBQ1GXE comes equipped with black individual sealed tuning machines that offer precise tuning adjustments with a 14:1 ratio. The instrument also features black hardware throughout, adding a sleek, modern touch to its traditional design.
