The OQAN QGA-21C BK is a 6-string acoustic guitar that combines a classic design with modern features, offering a powerful sound and exceptional playing comfort. Its dreadnought body shape is world-renowned for its ability to generate robust volume and remarkable resonance, particularly in the bass frequencies, making it an ideal choice for styles ranging from pop and rock to folk and country. Furthermore, its practical cutaway design provides easy access to the higher frets, allowing the guitarist to explore the instrument's full range without limitations.
The selection of woods has been key in the construction of this instrument to guarantee a balanced and rich tone. The spruce top provides a bright, clear sound with excellent projection, a highly valued characteristic in acoustic guitars. The sides and back are made of basswood , a lightweight wood that adds warmth and a good balance in the midrange frequencies, perfectly complementing the spruce's brilliance. The catalpa neck offers stability and a comfortable feel, while the fingerboard and bridge are made of compound rosewood , a sustainable and durable composite material that emulates the tonal and aesthetic properties of traditional rosewood. The chrome die-cast tuners ensure precise and stable tuning during long practice sessions or performances. The entire instrument is finished with an elegant gloss black coating that gives it an imposing stage presence.
