You usually get what you pay for when it comes to guitars. Get the picture? A higher end gutiar sounds and feels better because it has had more care and attention taken over its construction and is made of better quality components. Then there's the finish, and so on, etc etc etc. And then there's stuff like the hardware, there is usually a difference in quality between bridges, tuners etc. And generally speaking, a high end guitar gets more care taken with its construction. A solid mahogany body will have more sustain than a plywood or MDF body. What I did not like about this guitar was the cheap pickups in it. I am very pleased and write this review after owning it for a month and have played it often. I have played guitar for 20 years or so and really, really like this guitar a bunch. 21 fret RW neck, finished finer than any of the other guitars I own, at least the rosewood. This samick felt just like these guitars and more specifically like the neck on the SG. Plastic back cover is slotted where you can see two of the springs on top of the string slot. Then of course there's the body construction. Samick, Established in 1958 on the headstock. Again, there are many different types of pickups each with their own characteristics and tone, but as a general rule, the more expensive branded ones that you find on the higher-end guitars are going to be better than the cheap no-name ones on a low-end guitar. The Samick had an excellent neck & well finished body. He played it for his high school band years & still has it, although he has several expensive guitars now, so the Samick is rarely played. Then of course there are differences between the cheaper bolt-on necks and the more expensive neck-throughs and suchlike.Īs for the electronics and pickups a branded pickup by seymour Duncan or DiMarzio is likely to have had more care taken to its constuction and will be made out of better quality components than a cheap mass-produced no-name stock pickup that they shove in low-end guitars. I cant comment on that model, but in 1991 I bought my son a Samick 'super strat' HSS style for his 16th birthday. Of course there are different styles of necks and people like different things, but all other things being equal that's pretty much true.

The most important parts of the guitar are the neck and electronics, the former for playability and the latter for sound. How can such a thing be so aweful and yet have decent specs? Does anyone else have experiences with Samick instruments?ĮDIT: Note that nobody touched it before me, the nut has always been loose etc.2.) How does a nice guitar sound better than a 100dollar cheap samick thing? It does have grover tuners and a solid maple body and some decent Duncan-designed pickups. It looks like it has been done with a chisel and the whole woodworks is a disaster.įurthermore the bolt-on neck has way to much space (I can easily get 2 razors stacked between the neck and the body), the nut is loose and cut waaaaay too deep and the gloss is like a milimeter thick (personal preference?). Very, very cheap pots, the woodwork is absolutly aweful. So i removed all of the plates and it is just horrible.: HOWEVER, when I removed the little-plate-thingy (how is it called again?) and the whole cavaty was a mess.
