Can this guitar be played as a regular guitar without using the slide, or would it need to be modified?

My short answer is yes. See also Bradley Davis's answer of Oct 2nd 2014 for a longer answer that I would agree with totally!

You can play this guitar Spanish or "regular" style, or finger style with a glass or metal slide. You would need a nut raiser to play it lap style with a steel.

Generally, if it is a "round neck" resonator guitar the answer is yes. If it is a "square neck" the answer is no. So check to see which it is when you order one from anywhere.

Yes. It can. We bought it for our son and he plays it with and without a slide. He loves the sound of this guitar

You could TRY to do that...doubtful it would come anywhere near as nice as this one. Then there is the fact this was issued by Fender as a special , limited run package. That alone adds extra worth to the guitar. But imo, the guitar itself is of such quality through and through, that is the top reason if you needed some kind of justification, etc...The frets in particular feel a bit larger and more comfortable than a stock MIM tele to me.

Yes, it can be used with no slide. It is very easy to connect and disconnect the slide.

Thank you for your interest in our guitar kit listing. This is an electric guitar with a semi body design. Unlike an acoustic guitar it will need to plug to an amplifier. Let us know if you have any other question. Thank you. Happy holidays.

No. The first day or so it will feel different. But after that you get used to it. The OG2SM is a great platform to get started with. I play one and my Granddaughter also plays one. I changed the nuts on mine from hard plastic to bone and that really did well on mellowing the sound out. All in all. The Oscar Schmidt is a good beginner,to somewhat advanced guitar.

I've used rocksmith with single coil strats only. But it should be less noisy since they are humbucker pickups. It should be perfectly fine. Rocksmith is not a highend interface so you can probably attach anything to it

yes, its comes "set up" in a cardboard box and all you have to do is tune it before you can start playing it. or you can play it untuned, whichever you prefer

It doesn't come tuned as that would not be beneficial to the guitar. You will need it set up (tuned, intonated, and and the neck adjusted). You can take it down to your local shop and a tech will be able to do this for you.

Yes. Can be tuned to standard guitar. Has a little more "play" in the strings, but works fine. That is how I choose to tune and use it as my travel and learning guitar.

Yes it is a round neck, you can tune it and play it in any key as a normal guitar or lap steel or even as you would a cigar box guitar. Playing with a slide is optional. Lots of options for slides such as the neck of a bottle or a mechanic's deep socket and you can use "mole skin" from the foot care section of the drug store to achieve a good between the slide and your finger.

I have that exact guitar. I had to do some serious modification to get my guitar to fit. It involved pulling back the fabric lining and chipping away at the wood underneath. I would have to recommend a different case since the pressure on the neck of a guitar due to a case that is too small, may effect the integrity of the instrument. I have had tuning issues with mine, but I'm not sure of the cause of this.

I think it would require some creative modifications to attach a slide. You may do better with a stand alone slide.

Absolutely, besides you don't want to get her used to a small guitar and then move up to a normal guitar. I had that happen to me then I had a problem with shifting between frets on a neck that was longer than my pervious guitar.

The guitar feels like a regular size guitar...it may be a little smaller but it feels just like a regular guitar...so i think my response would be ...not is not norrower...

The guitar has the strap pin just like any other guitar. To answer your question, No, you can not screw into the guitar body without damaging it. However, like I said I don't see the need. Hope this helps

You will have to re-string it backwards but it would work. if this his first guitar , use nylon strings and not steel ones. ( easier on the fingers). order strings and re-string when it arrives.

I purchased this guitar in 2013, and mine did not come tuned; however, I am an experienced musician and was able to tune it myself. If you have a local music store or friends or family with knowledge of tuning, they should be able to tune it for you. It's really a great buy, but mine did need to be tuned. In fact, I have purchased three guitars online and had to tune all three myself. If you buy in a music store, the staff will tune it for you when you purchase.
