Description
The Mitchell O120CESB auditorium cutaway acoustic-electric guitar is perfect for players seeking a balanced and versatile instrument. With its comfortable auditorium size, it's ideal for those who find larger guitars less comfortable.

The built-in electronics with 3-band EQ and tuner allow you to shape your sound and amplify it with ease, making it suitable for both stage and studio.
Auditorium Size for Enhanced Comfort and Playability
The O120CESB's auditorium body size offers a comfortable playing experience, especially for those who find dreadnought guitars too bulky. This smaller size makes it easier to hold and play for extended periods, whether sitting or standing. The single cutaway provides access to the upper frets, allowing you to explore a wider range of notes and play intricate lead lines.
Select Spruce and Mahogany for a Balanced Tone
The O120CESB features a select spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a classic combination of tonewoods that delivers a balanced and versatile sound. Spruce offers clarity and projection, while mahogany adds warmth and resonance. This combination creates a rich, full tone that's suitable for a variety of playing styles and musical genres.
Built-in Electronics for Versatile Performance
The O120CESB is equipped with built-in electronics, including an undersaddle pickup and a preamp with a 3-band EQ and tuner. This allows you to easily amplify your sound and shape your tone to suit any playing situation. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing at home, the O120CESB delivers exceptional versatility and performance.

Good guitar, but...
I bought this guitar and when I brought it home realized there was a crack/finish scratch on the neck. When returning t to the store I noticed a screw loose also. The second guitar was in perfect condition and very well packaged. I am pleased with the purchase. It has a good sound and quality build.

AVOID BUYING A MITCHELL GUITAR AT ALL COSTS!
Title: Mitchell Guitar Purchase Nightmare: Poor Quality, Worse Customer Service My recent experience with a Mitchell guitar purchased from Guitar Center has been nothing short of a nightmare. The breaking point came when, after the neck of the guitar snapped in two due to a design flaw, I reached out to customer service for assistance. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a frustrating and unproductive ordeal. First and foremost, it took over a month for customer service to respond to my initial email. I had attached clear pictures of the broken guitar along with the sale receipt, hoping for a resolution to the issue. To my astonishment, the response I received was dismissive, stating that they could do nothing because it was deemed an "ACCIDENT." What's infuriating is that the accident was a direct result of the flawed design of the guitar itself. Growing impatient with the lack of progress, I decided to call customer service. However, my attempt to seek assistance was met with an over an hour-long hold time. Frustrated and unable to wait any longer, I had no choice but to hang up. This lengthy hold time suggests that there might be a significant influx of calls, indicating that I am not alone in my dissatisfaction with Mitchell guitars. It seems that numerous customers are grappling with the low quality and myriad issues associated with these instruments. Mitchell guitars, touted as a Guitar Center brand, appears to be more focused on ripping off unsuspecting beginners than delivering a quality product. This disappointing experience has not only left me without a functional guitar but has also strained my budget to the point where I cannot afford to purchase a replacement. I strongly advise potential buyers to steer clear of Mitchell guitars at all costs. The combination of poor craftsmanship, design flaws, and abysmal customer service makes this brand a regrettable choice for anyone looking to embark on their guitar-playing journey. Save yourself the frustration and financial loss by considering alternative, more reputable brands for your musical aspirations

I bought this guitar during Covid lockdowns cause I wanted to learn guitar. I loved it then and still love it today. I use the D'addario silk and steel strings with it and it sounds great. I feel like it holds tuning pretty well, haven't really used the electric capabilities too much. Highly recommend this guitar for the price.
