Overview:
The Oscar Schmidt OA10CE is an acoustic-electric guitar with a mini-auditorium body, which is smaller than a regular dreadnought. This makes it a bit more comfortable to play for younger players, while still retaining a full scale neck.
It sports a flame maple top with a cutaway that allows for easier access to the upper frets. And it is available in a variety of gloss finishes, including Natural, Cherry Sunburst, Trans Black, Trans Blue, and Trans Purple.
It is equipped with an active pickup and preamp system with 3-band EQ which is accessible on the upper bout.
It also comes bundled with a clip-on tuner, picks, a 10ft guitar cable, a gig bag, polishing cloth and instructional Books/DVDs.
An affordable 12-string acoustic model is also available from Oscar Schmidt, you just need to learn how to tune a 12-string guitar and get used to the extra strings as you play.
