What buyers say about Oscar Schmidt OD312CEB-A-U 12-String Acoustic Electric Guitar
The guitar covers many of the desires that a guitarist would want in a modern guitar.
The built in tuning is great and I'm happy I did it. I took a chance on the engineered fret board and I'm glad I did it.
I bought this 1 bit and have been playing it almost every day without a problem. Pro tip: If you are going to use strings in pairs, only put one low E string so there will be less tension and less of a pull.
It is a great value and holds perfect pitch with a capo at the 7th fret.
This is a great guitar for a low price and it holds a perfect pitch with a capo. It even holds perfect pitch with a capo at the 7th fret for Hotel California!
Common Questions
Does this guitar fit in a Gator GWE-DREAD 12 acoustic guitar case?
The guitar fits nicely and the case is great, especially for the price. The guitar may need some professional setup; neck adjustment, saddle modification (too high), but after that it's a great playing, tone rich 12 string.
I can tell you if the guitar has a pick guard.
It's less than $10 bucks and it's very easy to put on the guitar.
What does the curve of the neck feel like? How is the action?
I have arthritis issues and the guitar is comfortable to play.
Does it have any strap buttons?
There is one on the bottom, but not on the neck.
Will this be ready for tuning?
I was so angry that my bridge was coming off that I had it tune to make it sound better. 2 years later it is finally repaired for almost as much as it cost.
