OSCAR SCHMIDT WASHBURN MODEL OE40B

Oscar Schmidt Washburn Model OE 40B guitar Midnight Black.. It is very loud acoustically, It will surprise you. Great electric tone. This is a good guitar.You'll get great sound from the large-size Oscar Schmidt OE40 Hollowbody Electric Guitar. Washburn Eliminator Jazz Series pickups deliver warm, vintage tone enhanced by the maple top, back, and sides. Appointments include pearl inlays on the rosewood fingerboard and snazzy gold hardware. This baby delivers looks and tone all out of scale.

My First Hollowbody

I bought it only for the looks. Then i find it also sounds cool whitout plug on the amplifier. Like other hollowbodyes need a lot of practice to find the sweet spot when you play it with overdrives or another pedal effect.
