A great choice for students, children, and those with smaller hands, this 3/4-size Oscar Schmidt Dreadnought acoustic guitar has a classic flame yellow sunburst design with a high gloss finish. Offering a select spruce wood top, the guitar also features catalpa wood sides and back for good resonance. It's completed by a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Other features include a fully adjustable truss rod and chrome die cast tuners. This guitar is backed by a lifetime warranty.
After some research on other websites, I decided to buy this guitar off Amazon. This is a review of both that experience as well as the guitar itself. I ordered the guitar on a tuesday afternoon, and paid an extra four dollars to have it delivered next day, when it arrived at 10am on the wednesday. The guitar came sealed in a box from Schecter, and the serial number indicated it was an '09 model (meaning this wasn't a leftover of some sort). The guitar appears to be setup very well - no fret buzz, and only two strings weren't in tune (they were off by just a bit). The guitar appears to be brand new, and not a return or anything else sketchy. All in all, I got a good deal on this guitar from Amazon, and am pleased with the purchase and delivery of it. They do appear to have exceedingly good deals on some of the secondary guitar brands (like schecter and BC Rich, as opposed to fender and gibson) from time to time, with much better prices than other sites.
The guiter itself is great - check out the Schecter website for the full specs, but here's the lowdown: set neck, two seymour duncan humbuckers (a 59 and a JB), three way switch, two volume controls (one for each pickup) and a push/pull tone knob that allows for coil splitting. I wasn't totally clear on whether the coil splitting was on this model, so I'm glad to see it is. This guitar has extra jumbo frets, and what seems to me like a pretty extended range, compared to my Strat. It has a solid feel, isn't too heavy, sounds good, and has quite a bit of sustain. I've only had it a day so far, but it's what I expected, and is a solid guitar. It's not as pretty as some of the other schecter models (not that there's anything wrong with it, but some of the other models are gorgeous), but I was looking for something highly functional and exceedingly playable, and this one fits the bill.
came on time with no problems what so ever. plays like a dreams. great buy for 0!
