Hughes Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 its got a kahler tremolo which are pretty valuable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhiteandthemaple Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 hmm.. looking at the color and the headstock shape.. it looks old.. but good condition. I'm almost positive its discontinued.. And Samick guitars are hard to find.. unless you live somewhere in Asia. I've seen many Samick guitars.. but that Jackson like headstock is totally new. Oh yea.. sry to disappoint you but you may be lucked out.. Plus Samick guitars are merged with Greg Bennett designs.. I'm pretty sure G.Bennett basically bought them.. but not too sure.. Trying to help ya out.. but best I can do is to guess its from around 1990. -IR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I bet you've seen the exact same guitar with another name on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alarung Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Kinda like a Charvel Model 4. It's an import Samick Superstrat with a Kahler. Looks fairly generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEdwardJones Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 It just looks like an 80s Samick super strat. Samick was at one time (possibly still) the world's largest guitar manufacturer, making (along with Cort) the vast majority of the Epiphones, Squires, etc that you saw. Basically they were the kings of Korean manufacturing. The quality should be identical to that of other Korean guitars of the era. FWIW - The Kahler doesn't add anything to the value of the guitar, except if you like Kahlers. Also, G. Bennett works for Samick, he doesn't own the company. Their guitars are really, not at all rare, you can buy them at almost any mom & pop music store in the States.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B designs for Samick, he does not own them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
