Oscar Schmidt OQ40SE Acoustic-Electric Cuatro with Gig Bag, Natural

From Oscar Schmidt's Latin Collection: a cuatro, the national instrument of Puerto Rico — ten steel strings in five doubled courses, with a bright, ringing voice that carries the melody in jíbaro and plena music. This one plugs in through a Barcus Berry LX4 preamp, and it ships in a deluxe padded gig bag. A rare thing to find in a mainstream catalogue, at a price that lets a curious guitarist try it.
