I just bought a Lee Oskar Natural Minor in the key of Gm and I hate the sound. Anyone else have one? If so, what do think of it.

I have Lee Oskars in Am, Bm, C#M, Em, Gm as well as Bushman Souls voice in the same keys. I find the Lee Oskar like all Lee Oskars can be slightly bright even a little harsh if you do not hit the bends spot on. The Souls Voice have a richer tone. They are equla temperment so single note will sound great chords a little harsh.

What is it you find sounds bad , chords , all around tone?

For minor keys, the best thing to do is have a major key harp, which has
a root that is one step lower than the minor key root.
Example: Dm, C-Harp; Gm, F-Harp.
This produces a good quality sound compared to natural minor harps, or
using the relative major key harp ( Bb for the Gm).

All around tone is a little harsh but it seems to be getting better or I am getting use to it.

Mac please explain some more on how playing third postion with only one available chord, rather than a NM that has two available chords in the correct key works out better.

You already mentioned the chords. If they are riffs that aren't using
chords, then those are some other harps that could be used.
