The LP Patato Signature Quinto is a 30 tall fibreglass Quinto inspired by Carlos Patato Valdes. With a steel ring embedded at the bearing edge for added strength and stability the Signature Quinto features a wide belly with a narrow bottom. This shape provides a deep bass tone with crisp highs with significant volume – perfect for use in outdoor performances. The LP Patato Quinto also includes 5/16 diameter tuning lugs and patented LP ProCare Shell Protectors. This helps to provide consistent and reliable tuning while ensuring maximum durability for the fibreglass shell.
