Requinto The Lucida Requinto is a beautiful mariachi guitar with a bright, responsive tone similiar to a classical guitar, but with a higher pitch and a traditional body style. The requinto plays lead in mariachi bands, and is often used to form the "trio romantico," a traditional folkloric style of mariachi music. The Lucida Requinto features a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a rosewood bridge and fretboard, a multi-colored inlaid rosette, 3-ply body binding, brass frets and a 2-piece mahogany neck. The guitar has a soft cutaway design and is available with an optional solid top for an even richer tone.
