Ignite 12-string Sierreno Style with the LGD1-CE Guitarra Doble
The LGD1-CE 12-string acoustic-electric guitarra doble from H. Jimenez is the perfect gateway instrument for Sierreño styles. Unlike the typical 12-string guitar’s octave string pairs, the LGD1-CE guitarra doble pairs light-gauge unison strings together for a thick sound that teems with emotion. Unison strings make chords sound bigger than ever, while fast runs and solos punch with breathtaking intensity. Solos also feel effortless when you use the LGD1-CE body’s scooped cutaway. A top made from solid mahogany supplies high-quality projection that's ideal for enhancing chunky strums. Mahogany's growling midrange also keeps chords clear and well-defined when playing with loud, emotive force. Backing this solid top is a mahogany body, which is double-bound in black for a robust tone and inspiring looks. Moreover, a pre-installed Fishman Presys system lets you quickly connect to acoustic amps and PA systems at venues or recording interfaces to capture a performance. For a guitarra doble that does it all, look no further than the H. Jimenez LGD1-CE guitarra doble from Sweetwater.

Endearing deluxe appointments
Every time you open the LGD1-CE guitarra doble’s case, you’ll be greeted with beautiful appointments. The body is double-bound in black and matched with a unique pickguard shape for distinguished looks. The headstock is similarly bound and carved from solid wood, then fitted with black tuner buttons. Pre-installed bone hardware cradles each string properly to facilitate sustain, overtones, and clean resonance. The LGD1-CE’s adjustable truss rod makes long-term care and setups a breeze, while the wing-shaped bridge anchors strings with a broad base that offsets the added string pressure of a 12-string guitar. These touches add up to one satisfying instrument that proves H. Jimenez gets the wants and needs of guitarra doble players regardless of skill level or experience!
Fishman amplification at your service
Gigging players can save time and effort by springing for the LGD1-CE, which has Fishman electronics built right in. Fishman is one of acoustic amplification’s most trusted brands, and the onboard Presys system is known for its reliability.

Furthermore, a built-in tuner smooths over the usual difficulty of tuning a 12-string guitar by letting you quickly make the small tweaks that 12-strings often require when playing energetic solos or strumming heavily.
