Paracho Elite Guitars are made in the legendary mountain village of Paracho, high in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. Paracho artisans have been perfecting their craft for over 200 years. Many of the luthiers that work at the Paracho Elite shop are fourth and fifth generation musical instrument makers.

These hand crafted, quality guitars are made from some of the finest woods. Each guitar has it's own unique styling and beautiful inlay craftsmanship. Most importantly, they produce remarkable sound and are played by recording and performing professionals.

The Paracho Elite Vihuela is a small, 5 string deep-bodied rhythm guitar similar to the Guitarron.

The instrument measures 31" high and 6.25" deep. It is available with a "traditional" nylon tie fingerboard or a brass fretted fingerboard. It is tuned A-D-G-B-E, the A, D, and G are tuned one octave above a guitar, giving the instrument a ukulele-like quality. The Vihuela includes a free nylon gig bag!
