Play the chord shapes you already know — in a brighter, requinto-like register — with a real bass string underneath. The SieteQuinto is a short-scale 7-string nylon guitar tuned up to G, like a capo at the 3rd fret, with a 7th string that doubles your 5th string an octave lower (low C). Melody, harmony and bass on one instrument, no capo, no new fingerings.
Designed by Latin jazz guitarist Roberto "ATTO" Castro for solo performers, looping artists and restaurant players who need a full sound from one guitar. Built by our partner workshop, then inspected, set up and play-tested by hand in Clermont, Florida before it ships to you.
WHY THE SIETEQUINTO
- Capo-style G tuning: familiar shapes, sparkling requinto-like voice that cuts through a room
- Low C 7th string: real bass lines under your chords and melodies — ideal for solo and looping sets
- 580mm short scale: easier stretches, lower tension, comfortable for long gigs
- 55mm nut: room for 7 strings without an oversized neck
- Fishman Presys Blend: undersaddle piezo + internal mic for a natural amplified tone — ready for PA, looper or recording
- Set up by the designer: action and feel adjusted to how YOU play
WHY CEDAR
A solid cedar top is warm, rich and quick to respond — it blooms under a light touch and balances the bright SieteQuinto register beautifully. Ideal for bossa nova, ballads, intimate rooms and recording. (Prefer more sparkle and projection? Ask about the A75 in solid spruce.)
