The OQAN QGA-40CE NAT is a 6-string electro-acoustic guitar that combines a versatile design, select woods, and an integrated preamp system to offer a great value instrument for both beginner and more experienced players. Its mini-jumbo body with a cutaway not only provides an attractive aesthetic but also ensures a rich, balanced sound with defined bass and clear treble, while also allowing easy access to the higher frets.
Built with a spruce top, a wood known for its resonance and tonal clarity, the QGA-40CE NAT projects a powerful and dynamic sound.

It includes a 3-band EQ (bass, mid, and treble), a presence control for adding brightness and definition, and a master volume control. This sonic flexibility makes it a perfect tool for any stage.
