Oscar Schmidt OD312 Natural 12-String Dreadnought Guitar- Natural featuring Handcrafted quality.Rosewood fingerboard & bridge.Fully adjustable truss rod and Chrome die cast tuners

What a beautiful guitar. It not only arrived well packaged, but it arrived 2 days ahead of the scheduled delivery time! This time of year I just knew it was going to be late. It came double boxed and although there was a small dent in the outside bottom of the box the guitar wasn’t damaged at all. Once I got it unpacked I inspected it and not even a scratch, beautiful finish on this instrument.The strings were shipped on it already installed, a little tighter than I would have done for shipping, but there were no issues with it. Once I got it tuned( took awhile, it’s been a minute lol) the guitar sounds awesome. This guitar sounds like a much more expensive guitar and has Nubone nut and bridge and comes with good quality strings. I foresee many hours sitting in my camper playing what feels like an old friend already.Great job guys!

Low action, I first tuned up to eb then the next day tuned up standard E tuning just to test the waters. Since the strings are pretty light gauge their really easy to play and has Better action than my 6 string. Really good tuning stability, no sharp frets, the truss rod was straight, and it sounds bigger than you would expect. It’s also very attractive, premium looking and feeling. Also it came in two boxes with air packages in between so it was packaged well. It came with a few tags on it relating to the nut “nubone” and the strings “d,adario” and a lifetime warranty. The only problem I found was a small blemish on the back of the machine head, but overall nice premium weighty feel, easy to play, a very surprising tone, and very very affordable. I would recommend it

Good guitar, great price. Nothing fancy but sounds great. No complaints.

I've been playing guitar for 45 years. I've owned several 12 strings including an Ovation Custom Legend and this guitar plays as good as it did out the box! I have a 6 string Custom Legend and a Gibson Hummingbird currently and this OD312 plays as easy as the high end ones I own.The fit and finish is spot on. The top is very good quality spruce, the backs and sides are mahogany as is the neck. The neck does have a scarf joint just past the nut so the joint is actually in the headstock and not on the neck itself.The tuners are actually very good, not sure what the ratios are but I'd say at least 14/1 if not 18/1. They are sealed tuners and they hold this guitar in tune and that's all I ask of them.The frets are fine, I did not need to dress the frets at all. Played beautiful out the box.The fretboard looks ebony, not rosewood but I'm fairly certain it's a composite board, again... it's not an issue and I really like the feel of the neck. My last two Ovation 12 strings, a Custom Legend and a Custom Balladeer had wider necks that this one. This neck feels like a Breedlove neck to me and I love it.The guitar had 3 hang tags on it when I unboxed it. One was about the guitar and its lifetime warranty, the second tag was about the nut and saddle.. Guess what? The nut and saddle are Graphtech NuBone! No joke! A bonus for sure. The third hang tag was from D'Addario, the strings I use. The guitar comes equipped with a brand new set of D'Addario EXP COATED Phosphor Bronze strings!It sounds really good, not tinny at all and the full size dreadnaught body has a full rich sound you expect from a more more expensive guitar. It reminds me a lot of my Gibson Hummingbird but has that unmistakable 12 string chime that I missed.I got a stupid deal on it, when the price dropped to $125 Prime shipping I pulled the trigger. I was looking at a used Ibanez on Craigslist, the guy wanted $150 for and I hesitated and found this here on Amazon and really happy I did. It's worth $200 plus, I've played many Fender, Epiphone, Alvarez acoustics and they all cost at least two bills and this one wins hands down.

I'm 71, I thought it would be hard to depress all those strings, but the action is wonderful, And I am absolutely shocked of how well it stays in tune, I pick it up every 3 or 4 days, it's just about always in perfect tune, you can't beat that for the price, I really like this guitar

I could mention value for money, thickness or sheerness, but that would not be applicable. It’s a almost decent 12 string, it has intonation problems as you go further up the neck, like most Chinese made mass produced guitars do. It is cheap enough to get and decide if a real 12 string is worth it. This one is worth what you pay, bearing in mind that a good 12 string starts at over $1000.

First of all, it came in 5 days including a weekend. Second, as others have said, it was double packaged. Thirdly, it was a pleasant surprise to finally get it unwrapped, look it over and find nothing wrong with this guitar as far as build, construction, and finish. Not a scratch, blem or even a sharp edge on the fret wires. I am impressed and on top of that, it is a good looking instrument. I tuned it up and played it for four hours breaking in the strings. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve to playing a 12 string, as the neck is a little wider and you are holding down twice as many strings, but if you are a regular 6 string player this will be a short curve. All in all I expect this instrument to settle into the temp and humidity of my environment and I'll experiment with string types when the D'Addario coated FB's get worn. It's not a Guild, but for the price, it will serve me very well even after I get one

Every acoustic guitarist should eventually have a 12 string to mess around with. Really surprising product considering the $150 price. I was ready to make adjustments to the nut and frets but it came perfect out of the box. It plays great, with angelic, thick resonance. No warping, clean binding and glue, very god factory finish. The action was a little high but it comes with a hex wrench to adjust the neck. Incredible value, looking at buying my next 6 string cutaway from oscar schmidt.

Great sounding 12 string guitar! Great price as well!

perfect quality top shape guitar nouvelle corde cependant

Once taken out of the double packaging I tuned it up, after 11 or so minutes I could finnaly play. The low D tuner was quite tight but could still tune. After about 5 minutes after I tuned up the 12 string the octave higher G string snapped, I was gently playing. If would be nice if the string gauge was listed, standard inst a string gauge. I have to restring 1 string now. Other than that its great.
