H. Jimenez LGD1-CEBK Guitarra Doble - 12-String Acoustic-Electric | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The H. Jimenez LGD1-CEBK Guitarra Doble delivers authentic Sierreño sound with professional-grade construction and amplification capabilities. This distinctive 12-string instrument features unison string pairs rather than the octave pairs found on traditional 12-string guitars, creating a remarkably thick, emotive tone that defines the Mexican Sierreño style. With its solid spruce top, mahogany body, and Fishman Presys electronics, this guitarra doble provides exceptional playability and versatility for both traditional and contemporary musicians.
Product Overview
The LGD1-CEBK showcases H. Jimenez's dedication to authentic regional instruments with modern performance features. Unlike typical 12-string guitars that use octave pairs, this guitarra doble employs light-gauge unison string pairs that create a distinctive thick sound teeming with emotional resonance. This unique configuration makes chords sound remarkably full while allowing fast runs and solos to punch through with breathtaking intensity.
The solid spruce top delivers powerful volume and bright articulation, ensuring clarity and responsiveness across the entire dynamic range. This is complemented by the laminated mahogany back and sides, which add warmth and depth to the tone while providing enhanced durability. The striking black finish is accentuated by elegant maple binding, creating a sophisticated visual aesthetic that matches the instrument's premium sound.
Playability is enhanced by the comfortable mahogany neck featuring an adjustable truss rod for precise setup and the thoughtfully designed scooped cutaway that provides effortless access to upper frets for solos and intricate passages. The gold tuners with black buttons not only look striking against the black finish but also ensure stable tuning for the twelve strings.
For amplified performance, the LGD1-CEBK comes equipped with a premium Fishman Presys preamp system, allowing you to quickly connect to acoustic amplifiers, PA systems, or recording interfaces with exceptional sound quality. The onboard controls include a 3-band EQ, volume adjustment, and a built-in tuner, providing versatile sound-shaping options for any performance environment.
