From its premium open plank gold tuning machines to its proprietary Thunderwing bridge, the Voz de Trio is everything that Sweetwater musicians have come to expect in an authentic H. Jimenez requinto. Cedar and mahogany tonewoods line the instrument with warm, full-bodied sound, entirely adaptable by way of an active Fishman CLA-101 pickup system. Enhanced mobility via the requinto's mahogany neck, open pore fretboard, and Venetian cutaway ensures a navigable playing experience. Further additions, including single-ply black ABS fingerboard binding, a plastic creme nut, and gold hardware, represent more proof of the Voz de Trio's meticulous design.





Sweet cedar and rich mahogany





The combination of the Vos de Trio's cedar top and mahogany back and sides make for a unique sonic signature. Cedar is known for its depth and clarity, pairing perfectly with mahogany's sonic warmth. This combination amounts to a guitar that's both warm and articulate on all frequencies ? perfect for both lead and rhythm styles. Inside, the Vos de Trio's fan spruce bracing pattern further promotes balanced projection and sustain, rounding out to a hearty, balanced requinto with plenty of power and versatility to tackle any stage or studio performance.





Stark mobility from heel to headstock





The Voz de Trio's smooth mahogany neck is the first sign of the requinto's navigability ? a key element if you are looking to achieve swift notational changes with less strain. The neck is capped with a walnut fingerboard, bearing white ABS side markers that, when paired with the requinto's shallow Venetian cutaway, provide easier access to the instrument's 16 frets. A proprietary H. Jimenez Thunderwing walnut bridge and plastic creme nut are further supplied to keep intonation stable and promote authentic string vibration. Open plank gold tuning machines with white pearl buttons consummate the Voz de Trio's additional features with ample style and class.





Stage-ready Fishman electronics system





Outfitted with an active Fishman CLA-101 preamp system and under-saddle piezo pickup, the Voz de Trio is ready to tackle any stage performance or studio recording session with ease. Access to bass, treble, phase, and volume controls makes way for unique tonal changes for a perfect output, maximizing the authenticity of your output no matter where you play. Plus, the system's built-in tuner allows for quick intonation checks before or during a gig.
