My post in the Samick thread....can anyone here help with ID'ing my Samick? I have listed some features, I forgot to list before in
italics. I also edited in
Bold.
I bought a used Samick a couple of years back,and it is a beautiful geetar! The front of the body is a Translucent black,encircled(Binding) with Ivory, then an encircling
inlay of Abalone. Mother of Pearl flowers/cattails/leaves vining up the neck. I don't know what woods it is crafted from,but a deep,deep amber-brown color on back of body and neck. It also has Gold hardware, with two dual humbuckers(not sure if I said that right). It is absolutely Gorgeous! It plays very nice (I wouldn't dare call myself a player). It is not bulky, nor too heavy, and the neck is slim. Just right for my hands... ... I like its tone myself. I'll let you know in another 7-8 yrs if it has held up well. By the way, mine is made in Korea....
The tone and volume knobs(2) are not gold though...they are plastic with numbers on them. One toggle switch of Ivory color....It is a neck thru body also. The body is shaped like the Greg Bennett Ultramatic and the Double humbuckers look the same. Headstock is pretty close too. No sig of course, nor a circle around the S.
I also have a Samick Acoustic which is made in Indonesia...I don't "attempt" to play it nearly as much as the electric....
Edit~Months back, I traded this in on a Crafter which I like better for tone.
I had a Samick electric Bass, which I traded like an Idiot. I think I can get it back though. Once again, the neck on this bass was much slimmer than most,hence easier for me to errrr...try to play. And that is all the knowledge I can share without looking too retarded.....
Tardo Edit!! I am sooooo retardo...I just reread this post from a while back in the Samick thread. My bass was/is a
Spector, not a Samick!!
By the way, I got it back a few months back. It had never sold. I should maybe wonder why eh?
