OQAN QGA-102 RDCE (PREAMP) - OM Electroacoustic Guitar with Cutaway and Comfort System
The OQAN QGA-102 RDCE is a 6-string electro-acoustic guitar designed to offer a superior playing experience, combining comfort, attractive aesthetics, and versatile sound. Its OM (Orchestra Model) body shape is appreciated for its tonal balance and manageable size, making it an ideal choice for both rhythmic strumming and more delicate fingerpicking styles. This model stands out for its innovative design with an integrated armrest, called the "comfort system," which significantly improves ergonomics and allows for longer practice and performance sessions without sacrificing comfort.
Built with quality materials, the QGA-102 RDCE features a Sitka spruce top, renowned for its clarity and resonance, complemented by sapele back and sides. This combination of woods produces a rich, well-defined sound with excellent balance between bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. The wooden neck and 20-fret compound rosewood fingerboard ensure smooth and precise playing throughout the entire scale. Furthermore, the cutaway design provides easy access to the higher frets, expanding the instrument's melodic possibilities.
The electro-acoustic capabilities of this guitar are provided by its built-in preamp, which amplifies its sound with fidelity. The system includes a 3-band equalizer (bass, mid, and treble) and a volume control, offering complete control over the tone when connected to an amplifier or sound system. It also includes an LED indicator for the preamp's status. Equipped with D'Addario strings as standard, this guitar is ready to play right out of the box.
