Oscar Schmidt OG2SM Acoustic Guitar Review
The Good: One of the best value of the money choices on the market by far. It delivers the performance of more expensive models for a reasonable price. Unique spalted maple top design makes it very attractive.
The Bad: Only noticeable problem with this guitar is that chances are you will have to take to a shop to be properly set up and tuned. Once you take care of that, you will experience the full potential of this exotic piece.
The Verdict: If you're not afraid to venture into the unknown, the Oscar Schmidt OG2SM can prove to be a great choice for a first, or even second guitar. Due to its rather cheap price, it's a great guitar to carry around and practice on if you don't feel like using your more expensive guitars.
