Oscar Schmidt by Washburn OG10CE Full Size Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar Combo with AB Gig Bag, Stand, and Strings - Transparent Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)for the price, this guitar is the shiz. im 17 and play rhythm in a band. Unplugged, the guitar doesnt have that big dreadnought sound, but it still sounds good. Plugged in, it sounds great. The strings it comes with (it comes out of tune btw) arent the best but will do. You can always buy new ones for 6 bucks. Also, while playing, the neck is a tad thick and the action a tad high. Although you can't change the neck, you can lower the action because of its adjustable truss rod (it comes with the tool to do it too). The finish is siiiiiick and i could stare at it all day. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 because it may not be the best guitar out there, but it looks and sounds better than it should for this price. It's a steal- a case, stand, and the guitar for less the 200 bucks? awesome!!

Oscar Schmidt OS45CE Acoustic Electric Auto Harp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wonderful, natural spruce top, maple sides and bottom-stained in a reddish sunburst pattern-is a joy to play. It can be played fully acoustically or can be plugged in and with the battery connected-usually included and it "lives" inside a small panel on the back of the instrument (takes 1 9 volt) goes electronic/acoustic. What I mean is that when the battery is connected the instrument then gives you a 4 panel graphic equalizer that allows for adjustment of low range, mid range, top end and overall sound as well as volume output to the not included amp. This has no bearing on the acoustic output of the instrument, only when it is plugged in to an amp. The instrument has great, wonderful, WARM tones in low to mid range and clear sparkling highs that are a joy to hear on the Christmas classics. For a mass production item this autoharp rates well with custom made a-harps. This a-harp is a nice, well rounded instrument for anybody looking to step up from an entry level black 12 or 15 chord OS 73 that are lightweight with no true tones.
Pluses for this harp-4 band equalizer with volume control (when used with a battery and the instrument is to be plugged into an outside amp source). EACH string has a fine tuner installed which makes tuning the instrument to perfection a snap!
Downsides for this harp-the stock setup for the chord buttons is clumsy and not very practical. This is easily rectofied by the owner taking some time to research which chords need to be moved (based on their style/level of play) and then actually moving the chordbars. Plenty of info can be had from various internet sources on better chord bar placement for this and all Oscar Schmidt (Washburn) autoharps. Other than that I am hard placed to name any other downs to this wonderful sounding, great playing intermediate/pro level harp.
This harp will last the average player a lifetime with proper care. The instrument is a great value for what you get.

Oscar Schmidt by Washburn OG10CE Full Size Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar Combo with AB Gig Bag, Stand, and Strings - Transparent Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was amazed how quickly and safely it got to my home. I was a little nervous ordering a guitar over the internet for fear it would be damaged during shipping. The seller did a great job securely boxing it up and it got here without a scratch. I am impressed with the quality of the guitar overall, even though only an amateur I recognize quality when I see it.

Oscar Schmidt by Washburn OG10CE Full Size Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar Combo with AB Gig Bag, Stand, and Strings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the OG10CE as a package from Austin Bazaar. As advertised it came with a stand, strings, and a gig bag. However they also included a strap, pick and a pitch pipe. The guitar is beautiful, the picture on Amazon does not do it justice. Take a look at the yellow sunburst finish here [...] to see what the pattern looks like -- mine looks like that except in a natural wood color.
I've played bass for 20 years and my wife just started playing electric guitar earlier this year. Seeing and hearing her learn made me want to give it a try too. We wanted the versatility of an acoustic electric and a smaller body that would be comfortable for both of us -- I've been playing a Steinberger bass lately so a dreadnought just felt too big for me. The built-in tuner is a nice feature, but most acoustic electrics seem to have them unless you go bottom of the line. Unplugged the guitar sounds great -- certainly not as full as a dreadnought, but I'll take that trade-off that comes with the comfort of the smaller, thinner body. Plugged in it sounds great too. The tone (3 band) and presence controls are really nice.
PROS:
Nice sound both plugged and unplugged
Very pretty wood finish -- we like just looking at it on the stand :)
Nice electronics
CONS:
haven't found any yet.
THE PACKAGE DEAL:
Pros: great price [...], free shipping, nice stand, bonus strap, pick and pitch pipe
Cons: the gig bag had an unbearable plastic smell. After washing it on "hand wash" it didn't smell any better. It literally stunk up the first floor of my house. It is also very thin and not very protective -- we bought a hard shell case and humidifier yesterday. However, the rest of the stuff you get in this package, free shipping, and the price make this an excellent deal. Maybe you can use the gig bag for a Rock Band controller. The only other con is that they only provided 3 replacement strings (GBE) not a full set, but they didn't claim they were sending a full set either. Of course the guitar comes strung with a full set -- de-tuned for shipping. But again, given the whole package it is quite a deal.

Oscar Schmidt OG10CEN Folk Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oscar Schmidt OG10CEN Folk Acoustic Electric Guitar
This was a gift for my son who already played electric and wanted to do some acoustic. I also have played so this review is from both of us.
First, don't let the fine print inside the guitair "Made in China" throw you off. The craftsmanship and finish are excellent. Upon removing it from the packaging (which was very adequate), I noticed a bright shine finish. There was no glue odor or evidence that the glue was sloppy.
The strings were already on and only needed tuned. After running my fingers along them, I determined that there was no corrosion. Very good!
Once tuned, my son and I began to play and are quite impressed with the sound quality and the fact that we detected NO FRET BUZZ.
The bottom line is this: If you want good sound and good looks for a good price, I highly suggest you check this one out.

Oscar Schmidt OG10CENLH Folk Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had two major problems with this guitar. The photo that is pictured is a flame spruce top, one of the reasons I selected this guitar. What I recieved was a plain spruce top. The main reason I am not happy is that the tuner does not work , which I now know by hindsight, is a common problem with these guitars. Other than the obvious, the guitar does seem to be made well so I am exchanging it rather than asking for a refund. Maybe I will be surprised and everything will work as it should.

Oscar Schmidt by Washburn OU6 Tenor Size Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How much better can a Martin ukulele be? Don't know, but the sound and playability of the OU6 tenor is great; the quality of construction and finish is superb, the Aquila strings produce a sweet sound especially when plucked with the pads of your fingers, the Grover tuners add precision and ease to tuning, and, of course, the cost is within the reach of nonprofessional players. The OU6 arrived with the action well adjusted - only the strings had to be restrung to minimize slippage and thereby stabilize the tuning

Oscar Schmidt OU5 Concert Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my first beginner ukulele only six months ago, but enjoyed enough that I decided to move up from the toy class to something a little better. The OU5 was on sale at under a hundred dollars, but I have to say that the leap in quality and sound far outweighed the $70 price difference between this and my first ukulele. Like others who have rated Oscar Schmidt products, I have been impressed by the beautiful finish of this instrument, but it's the improved action and sound quality that totally won me over. Go ahead and buy your $20 Rogue instrument to see if you like the ukulele, but when you're ready to step up to the next level (but perhaps aren't ready to shell out $250), this is a solid stepping stone. I'm really happy with this instrument. Keep your really cheap one to take to the beach, though. You'll like this one enough that you won't want someone grinding sand into the finish or spilling beer on it.
