The aptly named El Quetzal (Beautiful Songbird) vihuela is special in several ways. At first glance, you will notice the the arrow rosette around the soundhole and that the front and back body edges are hand-fitted alternating maple and mahogany wood pieces. Mariachi teachers and players will appreciate the additional two frets of tonal range (total of six frets), functionality of two strap buttons, and smooth action tuners. The rosewood fingerboard has the signature H. Jimenez logo lasered in the end, but most notably, this vihuela is equipped with the special H. Jimenez design rosewood Thunderwing bridge with saddle for optimum performance.
