Crestwood Bajo Sexto

Product #:  San Antonio
Brand:  Crestwood
Description:  Crestwood Bajo Sexto Acoustic / Electric 12-String Guitar, SAN ANTONIO

This is the bass guitar that is the foundation of conjunto and tejano music played in northern Mexico and Texas. It usually accompanies a button accordion.

While a standard 12-string guitar plays in the same octave as a 6-string guitar, the bajo sexto is tuned one octave lower than a guitar, and so requires special bajo sexto strings. The bajo sexto can be tuned (from bass to treble) like a guitar (E,A,D,G,B,E) or more traditionally as (E,A,D,G C,F).

The bajo sexto is common in the northern Mexican states of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, and in parts of Texas and California in the U.S.
