This instrument is classified as New Old Stock, just very old. This was purchased directly from the Paracho Elite (previously Lonestar) distributor. This is a 2000's model, that was set on a shelf and forgot about. If you are looking for a solid top Bajo that needs some work, this is it. This was a special edition piece made specially for the NAMM show. One of a kind.
These instruments were imported from Mexico and $800 brand new. This specific Bajo has a lifting bridge and cracked brace, which is resulting in the action being higher than it should be. With the bridge glued back down and bracing fixed, this will be a beautiful instrument at a great bargain!
The Paracho Elite / Lonestar Presidio bajo sexto guitar features an inlaid rosette, double-figured binding and the signature cutaway.. The solid top’s warm tone is complemented by solid back and sides. Many of the Paracho Elite luthiers are fourth and fifth generation musical instrument makers. These hand crafted, quality guitars are made from some of the finest materials. Most importantly, they produce remarkable sound and are played by recording and performing professionals.
