Experience the iconic 12-string jangle and punch with the H.
The H. Jimenez LGD1 acoustic-electric guitarra doble gives you the full, ringing tone of 12 strings without the octave strings. Its solid spruce top provides a clear, balanced sound ideal for the energetic rhythms of sierreño music, while the mahogany back and sides add warmth and sustain. The LGD1 features an active Fishman Presys pickup so you can plug in and be heard, along with onboard EQ controls for shaping your amplified tone.
Double the Strings, Double the Tone
Strung with two sets of light gauge strings, the LGD1 produces a robust, chorused sound perfect for lively sierreño strumming and melodic solos. The solid spruce top resonates freely for projection and clarity. When playing chords, you'll appreciate the guitarra doble's full, ringing tone. For lead lines, the doubled strings provide extra punch and sustain. Overall, the LGD1 gives you a rich, vibrant acoustic voice ideal for a wide range of Latin styles.
Plug in and Take Center Stage
The LGD1 features an active Fishman Presys pickup, giving you the option to plug into an amp or PA and be heard. The Presys pickup accurately conveys the natural tone of the guitarra doble, with clear highs, focused mids and balanced lows. Onboard controls include volume, bass, mid and treble EQ so you can shape your amplified sound to suit the venue. Whether at a intimate cantina or on a big festival stage, the LGD1 has the power and presence to make you the center of attention.
Premium Craftsmanship for Lasting Value
H. Jimenez built the LGD1 to professional standards for a lifetime of playing enjoyment. Its solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides are durable yet resonant. The mahogany neck has an adjustable truss rod so you can maintain optimal relief. Full maple binding adds elegance and protects the wood. Individual gold tuners provide precision and stability. Moon Phase inlay and Sunfire Rosette provide a beautiful aesthetic. A traditional bone nut and saddle enhance tone and sustain. All combined, the LGD1 is an outstanding, handcrafted instrument that will inspire you musically for years to come. A Hardshell wood case is also included, to protect this incredible instrument.
