USE

Channel thinner than SAN450 more playable, more enjoyable, but necessitating a planif.
The wood used is obscure, not very hard, but he keeps a good stability after proper adjustment and a change for mechanical locking spertzel (mandatory stint with a good luthier)
The sustain is therefore quite surprising even the attack is clear, the sound is stout, a little colder than Gibson.
I also changed the nut that was the problem with a nut in custom OS.
I equipped the guitar with a pair of Classic 57, super good choice because the result is really interesting.
I compared with ES335 reissue the Samick sounds less woody, less thick, but the result is very close!
Overall, no hole in the frequencies, the guitar is very balanced, with great clarity in the attack.
The answer to the dynamic is quite sufficient to play this guitar in all situations, even in concert.
It is less than a real magic, but that's normal given the price difference!
Paltry purchase price, provide a pickup upgrade and a passage in the luthier, it increases the price, but the result is very nice.


SOUNDS

The classic 57 on this guitar are very "happening everywhere," one can play in any style with a predilection for jazz, blues, rock, fusion.
The crunch is thick and clear, the surprising sustain and perfect playing comfort.
Obtained with the planif and some upgrades a hollow body very good, unfortunately with unknown provenance of wood, but going well with 57.
I bought this guitar to have a mule in my 335, but for some styles, I think it goes better than the original, despite a somewhat less wooded personality.
I put 0.033 Oil capas is sublime with 57! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />


NOTICE GLOBAL

It's been a few months since I play always with great pleasure.
I know well the range Samick hollow body (SAT650 SAN450 SAB etc ...) they are made goods, especially old and Artist models because the woods are better.
The prices are ridiculous, but it is not so easy as that.
Still provide some upgrades that are added to the base price.

I played guitar for 35 years, I've seen happen, and I liked the little Samick despite my priori on the violin Koreenne.
I tried SAT650 Artist Series, a terrible guitar that can compete without complexes with GIBSON!
Very happy with this SARC302.
Initially, there were problems kept agree knobs race, frets, but once the whole set, the result is well above my expectations!
