On 2001-12-20, Kiri gave this Samick Electric Guitar a 4...(1266)
Purchase: I purchased this guitar about three years ago and it was my first guitar that i have owned. My father first introduced me to a guitar at the age of nine, and i've been playing ever since. Then I thought it was time to get my own guitar so I got a great deal for an electric guitar at the local music shop for NZ$549. And now at the age of 16 I think it kept me out of trouble as I was growing up.
Pros: I like the stylish black and white colour, it's light weight and has a beautiful sound to it. I can control the pickups that are being used and control the tone. Also the tremolo is easy to bend. It's made of stong maple wood.
Cons: The strings always buzz on the frets, I have scratched out some of the wood on the fret board. The Temolo can't be bent up to make the note go higher. I think there aren't enogh pickups on it. The socket is just dangling by the body when it came loose.
Quality: The body is made of very strong and light weight plywood, and the neck is made of maple. It's black and white but the main colour is black. It's got a cool bridge on it.
Summary: Overall it was an excellent guitar when first purchased. But It's about time that I got an upgrade, as my father always put's it "It's had it's days!".
