Samick Review: Les Paul Artist Series

Samick Electric Guitars

History:

Purchase: $600 was the cost. Acquired at local dealer. Was told this was a low price replacement for Les Paul guitar and it was the same manufacturer.

What I Like About This Samick Les Paul Artist Series: Plays, looks good. Has a very nice finish. Bubinga wood

What I Do NOT Like About The Samick Les Paul Artist Series: Neck is weaker than I like and can be easily moved with a little arm pressure on the guitar body, which makes it sound out of tune. Some of the hardware is lower quality, like the tuners. Does not stay in tune so well, but better than the low end electrics like Squier.

Samick Les Paul Artist Series Quality Rating: Good construction. Neck is not as strong as I would like. Tuners are OK, but not great.

Review Summary: Probably a good buy for the money, but not up to par with true Les Pauls

Rating of this Samick product: 3

Samick D5 - If you are a beginner or a 7 year guitarist and you want a cheap but great guitar buy this....

Samick JZ3 - If you're not too fussy and don't have thousands to spend on a vintage Gibson or even a new one, go for the Samick JZ3. It will get the job done for you, and you might even grow to like it a lot and not think so much about the high-priced number you ...

Samick Greg Bennett FN3 5 - This is a great second bass for me. My primary is a Fender Jazz 4-string and I wanted to expand my tonal options for some of the newer country songs we play. After trying several 5-strings, the Greg Bennett Samick was the best value (I also conside...
