Product Overview
The Paracho Elite Hidalgo has a thinner body that is in demand by today's bajo sexto players. A six stage rosette contains three different binding styles along with a mosaic beadwork pattern. The natural cedar top is surrounded by a two tone, double-pattern binding paired with beautifully stained back and sides.
When strummed, the satin finished, cedar build generates a full range of overtones that will fill an entire room. The hand carved rosewood fretboard and "whale tail" bridge complete this truly magnificent bajo sexto.
The Standard Bajo Sexto is a 12-string guitar used in Norteno music, also referred to as Tex-Mex, Conjunto or Musica Mexicana. The Bajo Sexto is tuned approximately an octave lower than the twelve string guitar, out in strict fourths. The lower three courses are doubled at the higher octave, and the upper three courses are unison: E2-E1 A2-A D3-D2 G2-G2 C3-C3 F3-F3 (from lowest to highest course).
