« LW-015 Samick »

first i want to say im not a pro at playing the guitar but i have played for a while. i own many instruments not just guitars and of those many different brands. i bought this Samick LW-015 from a friend for $80.00 just for something to plink around on when i go camping. now that being said no i havnt played it on stage yet. will i? more than likely yes at some point. how is the sound? like i rad in one review with a new set of strings it is bright. i did put a good set of strings on it. i know i could have went for a cheap set but why would i do that ? that being said it does not play like one of my Martin or Gibson guitars but then again my Martins dont sound like each other nor do my Gibson's. this Samick is my 4th in my collection.
now to the brass tacks, the LW is not built like a $3000.00 Martin this is true. that being said, for the money it is a nice guitar. later years Samick put groover tuners on so 2 of my newer Samick's have them this one does not but what is on it was built very well. the neck is a little thick but cords good. it does have an adjustable truss rod. with cheap strings it did have a buzz but with good strings it sounded good. i was bright and loud. neck and bridge were nice rosewood. i did have to do a little work in the saddle here someone had bumped it and i did lower it a little. probably the next string change i will lower it a little more. all in all i would say that for the money this was a good deal and if i had to go back and do it again i would.
