Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
H. Jimenez’s LBQ1GXE Aurora Borealis brings acoustic and amplified operation to a right-handed bajo quinto format. Its ten D’Addario J-85 phosphor bronze strings are organized in five courses, with a solid spruce top carrying a laser design over laminated mahogany back and sides. Moon-phase inlays and the Sunfire rosette provide the Galaxia-series visual details. The active Fishman RareEarth soundhole pickup is voiced for bajo quinto and puts volume control on the instrument for adjustments during a performance or recording session. A hardshell case comes with it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tejano or norteño ensembles using a ten-string, five-course bajo quinto.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere

- Players seeking a six-string layout; it uses ten strings arranged in five courses.
