OQAN QGC-1S STARTER - 4/4 Classical Guitar for Beginners
The OQAN QGC-1S STARTER is a full-size (4/4) classical guitar designed specifically for those beginning their musical journey. This instrument combines carefully selected materials to offer a balanced sound and a comfortable learning experience, making it the ideal choice for beginners of all ages. Its construction and features are designed to facilitate the student's progress, guaranteeing reliability and excellent value from the very first chord.
The guitar's body, including the top, sides, and back, is constructed from basswood . This wood is known for its lightness and for providing a neutral, well-balanced tone with a uniform response across all frequencies. This allows the student to clearly appreciate each note, facilitating ear training and the understanding of musical dynamics. Its natural finish not only gives it a classic and timeless aesthetic but also respects the wood's natural resonance.
One of the most outstanding features of the OQAN QGC-1S STARTER is its adjustable truss rod , a rare feature in entry-level guitars. This internal metal rod allows you to adjust the neck's curvature to compensate for string tension or humidity changes, ensuring a comfortable action (string height) and preventing fret buzz. This adjustability extends the instrument's lifespan and guarantees maximum playing comfort.
