RawDeltaBlues « Very good guitar »
Published on 03/01/14 at 17:01Nato neck (Asian mahogany), bubinga body, curved maple table, rosewood fingerboard 22 frets, bolt-on neck, bridge Tune-o-matic, mechanical castings, 2 humbuckers, 2 volumes, 2 tones, 3-position switch, a pan cut short, a LP ...
UTILIZATION
The handle C seems thinner than a Gibson LP, it is very enjoyable to play and allows good access to acute pan through unorthodox cut and screwed his sleeve. The body is also thinner than LP but not as a LS-6, the guitar is quite light for a LP. It also has a "ribcage contour" as the Gibson Axcess. Electronics is however not very good and does not allow very good set, I do not recommend any pot down below 6 but it's still a detail as easily editable. I will also make him an electronic "Jimmy Page" ...
SOUNDS
I bought it for his violin thinking change the pickups but they turn out great! I do not have Gibson on hand to compare but they do not seem worse than my Telecaster U.S. or my Gretsch.
Despite the bolt-on neck, the sustain is very good thanks to bubinga, denser than mahogany but micro pores larger timber. Being a butcher because of too many years to play Telecaster, this bolt-on neck makes a very good dynamic sound when the string is being abused.
Only downside for me who hardly plays that blues pickups though very good including my style of play is a little mat but are suddenly very versatile with a large output level ...
OVERALL OPINION
I had a lot of guitars and amps prestige that I sold without regret to buy a house. Today I rediscovered the "anonymous" guitars that are almost as good for 1/30th or 1/10th the price of some guitars I've had. It is part of, especially my Blues looks more like Seasick Steve and Bob Log at the Clapton ...
This is an Artist Series, the high-end Samick and is very well done but also very well thought out! It is a synthesis, the ergonomics of the Gibson Axcess, the dynamic of the bolt-on neck Gibson Invader, sound and versatility of a LP ...
If a Standard LP today deserved a 10, I would put a 8 in the Samick but for the price, I put him 10 ...
