Mt. Juliet, TN, September 3, 2025…H. Jimenez is proud to announce the addition of two new guitarrón models to its Handcrafted in Mexico series: a full-size and a ¾-size version, each paired with a handcrafted hardshell wood case made in Mexico. These new instruments are designed to meet the needs of school music programs, educators, and Mariachi ensembles, offering authentic craftsmanship with sizes to fit a variety of student players.
The guitarrón is the heart of traditional Mariachi music, delivering the deep, resonant bass tones that drive the ensemble. With these new additions, H. Jimenez continues its commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship while providing versatile, durable, and high-quality instruments for the classroom and stage.
“We’re excited to expand the H. Jimenez Handcrafted in Mexico series with two more guitarrón models—they’re a great blend of tradition, quality, and versatility for players of all levels,” said Rock Clouser, H. Jimenez Brand Manager.
LGTN2M – Handcrafted in Mexico Full-Size Guitarrón
The LGTN2M delivers the full presence and power expected from a guitarrón. Handcrafted in Mexico, it features a slotted headstock, elegant black/brown purfling trim, and a black inlaid rosette. Its deeply vaulted back enhances bass projection, making it a standout choice for high school or collegiate Mariachi ensembles. The included hardshell black wood case, also made in Mexico, ensures premium protection.
LGTN275M – Handcrafted in Mexico ¾-Size Guitarrón
For younger students, smaller-framed musicians, or those seeking a more manageable instrument without sacrificing tone, the LGTN275M offers the perfect solution. This handcrafted ¾-size model features a slotted headstock, brown/black purfling trim, and a brown inlaid rosette. Its smaller size makes it ideal for middle school programs or beginner players, while still delivering the strong bass response that defines the guitarrón. A matching hardshell black wood case made in Mexico is included for secure storage and transport.
