Samick Standard Beginner Strat Copy Reviews

On 2002-12-04, Larry rated this Samick Standard Beginner Strat Copy a 3...(3231)


Purchase: I had my mind on playing guitar for a few months so I went to the local music shop to get a starter guitar. Since I didn't know anything about guitar I trusted the salesman. He recomended a Samick strat ripoff. I droped about $150 for the guitar and a Squier 15 watt amp.
Pros: This guitar is a GREAT BEGINER GUITAR. It sounds pretty good with a good amp (The squier I got, not being on of them). It remains in tune with its surprisingly good tuners. The neck is nice and the frets are medium jumbo. The pickups give a good sound for a cheap price. The body is lamenated wood and is hard to scratch.
Cons: A warning to anyone who already plays the guitar, THIS IN MY OPINION IS A BEGINNER GUITAR! It is not a gigable guitar at all and for mor experianced players the tonal range will be limiting. The intonation on the neck is still off after hours of tweeking.
Quality: Good for casual playing. If you pick it up once and a while it will last you for years. It is not durable enough to take to band practice and you might as well forget doing gigs.

Review Summary: This is a good beginer guitar
