Oscar Schmidt OH52SE Acoustic-Electric Bajo Sexto w/ Bag - Solid Cedar & Macassar Ebony

Professional Tone & Premium Tonewoods

The Oscar Schmidt OH52SE is engineered to bring authentic warmth and evocative grooves to any Latin American musical arrangement. At the heart of its superior sound is a Solid Cedar top, which offers immediate responsiveness and a rich, "played-in" character that only improves with age. Unlike standard laminate tops, this solid wood construction enhances every melodic line and chest-pumping rhythm with professional-grade articulation and sustain.

Stage-Ready Electronics & Exotic Build

Whether you’re in the studio or performing live, the OH52SE is built to cut through the mix. The back and sides are crafted from Macassar Ebony, a luxury tonewood known for its striking visual grain and its dense, punchy low-end response. To ensure your plugged-in tone is just as impressive as your acoustic sound, this model features the Barcus Berry LX-4 preamp system. This high-fidelity setup allows you to fine-tune your EQ, providing a natural, feedback-resistant signal directly to your amplifier or PA system.

Signature Design & Structural Integrity

Every detail of the OH52SE is optimized for the working musician. It features the iconic Longhorn bridge design, which isn't just a visual trademark—it’s engineered for maximum vibrational transfer from the strings to the soundboard. Internally, the instrument is supported by quarter-sawn scalloped bracing, providing the perfect balance of lightweight resonance and structural strength. Complete with a bone nut for superior tuning stability and a deluxe padded gig bag, this Bajo Sexto is a complete performance package.
