    Description

    Oscar Shmidt Guitar Patrick Nagel Duran Duran Rio.
    Extremely rare and Unique ONE OFF!,
    one of a kind!
    I have researched this guitar countless times over the past couple of years, and wish I could have found out more about its History, who owned it, who commissioned it ,who's played it! etc...
    The Artwork is from Patrick Nagel , Huge artist that rose to fame in the 80's and 90's, this same piece of art that is on this guitar was used as cover art for Duran Duran's RIO LP. Ive seen other Nagel Artwork on Various Jackson guitars , But this is the only Delta King 335 style guitar  that I've been able to find with Nagels work on it. this is not a sticker , but carefully crafted under the guitars lacquer finish. Ok so Oscar Schmidt doesn't generally  command such a hi price , obviously the first  noticeable thing about this guitar is the artwork, however that being said the pickups in this guitar are extremely powerful you can get very high gain screaming tones , yet it cleans up nicely, I used this guitar on a couple of Jazz type ballads I was wanting to record and was quite happy with the tones
    Rio
    gave me ( what else could I name the guitar? )  a youtube link is included above also on Spotify! .
