• Introduction The OG2 is a featured acoustic wonder manufactured by Oscar Schmidt. This is not your average acoustic guitar, it is backed up by the manufacturers’ history and expertise of crafting instruments for over 100 years, each individually hand tested before release to ensure ultimate playability and flawless intonation. They are famous for packing premium woods and immaculate sound quality in guitars accessible to everyone. The OG2 serves as a prime example for this. Body & Neck The guitar’s deep dreadnought shape supports superb acoustic resonance and a wide array of tones at your disposal. The body has a select spruce top and catalpa sides and back with a beautiful high-gloss finish, rounding off this white beauty’s body. You will definitely like the comfortable neck made of hi-quality mahagony, it allows easy access to its frets and superb playing comfort. Snow leopard vmdk and darwinsnow iso files.

In addition, the neck hosts a fully adjustable truss rod. The rosewood fingerboard is rigged with 20 frets and white dot inlays. Hardware The stylish headstock at the top packs a sleek Oscar Schmidt logo and six chrome diecast tuners. The guitar’s rosewood bridge offers precise intonation, sustaining its six steel strings without a flinch. Sound The sound of the OG2 is unbeatable for its price. Compare it to any instrument in its class and the results won’t change. When considering guitars hovering around the 100$ range, you have to take the quality of its components into consideration.

The brand name has no power here, so you have no reason to shy away from this acoustic fiddle. Most manufacturers make sure to craft dreadnought shapes in their entry-level instruments, and the OG2 is no different here. Everyone who’s starting out wants an ample tone range available at any time.

Improving is a comprehensive process, and you need to take your time experimenting in order to discover your true sound. This instrument is a perfect companion to get you started. It’s easy to play and ready for action right out of the box. Its body construction and durable strings will impress you upon first touch, combine that with its classic white aesthetics and you have a winner right on the spot. I saw the OG2 in a guitar store and did not run away. I picked it up a used one, played it, and bought it used almost a year ago, because it sounded great to me AND is the first dreadnought that did not feel too bulky for me to play for me to play. I had the frets repaired because the previous owner treated it like kindling, apparently.

I say to each his/her own when it comes to instruments. Who doesn’t want a Taylor or one of the other fancy schmancy big names to brag about? In the meantime, though, buy and play what you like. I plan to keep my Oscar Schmidt for songwriting–for a long time.

First.This is not my first guitar.Over the years I've owned a Gibson L6S, a Peavey T-60, a Ibanez Iceman, and an Alvarez 12 string acoustic. The new OI14 arrived yesterday. Upon first inspection all looks pretty good. I noticed the nut on the out-put jack was loose.Opened the back plate to secure the jack while tightening it and checked to see if all the connections were still good. The old amp I had hoped to use turned out to be dead, so no plug-in check.An IGTR amp will arrive any day. **I'm posting a bit early because this thing HAS NO SERIAL NUMBER.Thus, I can't register it with O.S. For the warranty.

Counterfeit?The OI14 body and neck are copies of the Wasburn Idol WI14, maybe they put some O.S.s in. I never would've thought anyone would bother faking an O.S. Either.But today I googled Counterfeit Guitars, with and without Wasburn, and it turns out that because of the crack downs by the Feds, the bad guys have started making less obvious brand knock-offs.Including Washburns. I got it on Amazon from a store named Springdale Music in Ohio. Other points that suggest fake besides the absent serial number are the neck is made of two pieces of wood, not one.

The wood is bare and there is a clearly visible sharp-angled join between the third fret and the first. Also, being a copy of the Wasburn WI14 (pic below), the OI14 should have the same fore-arm scalloped recess in the lower bout.Mine does not. I'm not seeing a whole lot of 'crackdown,' unless you're talking about what the Feds smoke in their spare time (i.e.
