BRISBANE, CA—The much-loved Lucida mariachi guitar line adds a new performance-minded requinto to its collection. The Solid Top Requinto with Pickup (LG-RQ2-E) features a Fishman Classic 4 Transducer pickup to amplify the bright, responsive tones of this traditional guitar.

 

The requinto, along with two other guitars, is often used to form the “trio romantico,” a traditional folkloric style of mariachi music. The requinto plays lead in many mariachi bands.

 

The new requinto features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a rosewood bridge and fretboard, a multi-colored rosette, 3-ply body binding, brass frets and a 2-piece mahogany neck. The guitar has a soft cutaway design that adds greater playability.

 

Despite their popularity, requintos are hard to find. Lucida readily brings you these guitars with authentic features and an affordable price.

 

The solid top requinto with pickup lists at $299.99. Standard models start at $143.99. The Lucida mariachi line includes the vihuela, guitarron and bajo sexto. Lucida, a division of The Music Link, is the maker of authentic classical guitars as well as traditional instruments.
