The 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 & 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 & “whale tail” bridge complete this truly magnificent bajo sexto.

Specifications:

  • Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
  • Ebony & Ivory Striped Binding
  • Solid Cedar Top
  • Cedar Back & Sides
  • Thin 3-1/8" Body

Baja Sexto Tuning Guide:

Step 1.

Beginning at position 1 (equivalent to the 1st string on a guitar or little E), the first two strings are tuned, in unison, to the note of F. The pitch is equivalent to the F note which is found on the 3rd fret of the 4th string on a guitar.

Step 2. 

At position 2, the next set of strings moving upward, both strings are tuned in unison to the note of C, equivalent to the C found at the 3rd fret of the 5th string on a guitar.

Step 3. 

At position 3, the next two strings are tuned in unison to the note of G, equivalent to the G note found at the 3rd fret of the sixth string of a guitar.

Step 4. 

At position 4, you will find two strings of different size. The smaller string is tuned to the note of D, equivalent to the open 4th string of a guitar, also found on a tuner. The larger string is tuned also to the note of D, one octave lower than the other string, which can be found on a bass tuner or simply tuned by ear, one octave lower than the smaller string.

Step 5. 

At position 5, tune the smaller string to the note of A, equivalent to the open 5th string of a guitar, which is also found on a guitar tuner. The larger string is tuned one octave lower (A) or found on a bass guitar
