i really dont like samicks, i find them really crappy. There more of a beginners guitar, but each to there own, if u like one buy one.

Most middle priced guitars,though they are very nice,come with emg passives or duncan designed.Its easy enough to put in a new set.

I can't say i like it. It just looks like somethings not right with it. But if you like it and it plays well then go for it. |

well, most schecters of this price range have the same exact pickups this thing has. besides, i would eventually swap those out for some emgs anyway

those guitars look class
i love the way they look
i especially like the quilt tops.
what i like about them, is that they look similar to certain brands, but theyre not exact rip off copies.
i think if it plays nice, get it, becuase if it sounds shit you can change the p'ups and they sure look good, so u just need to worry about the playability.
that red concord guitar looks nice, it reminds me of an esp mh series guitar with the arch top. i also love the minimalistic inlays. nice one
they seem great for budget guitars, if i wasnt so in love with ibanez rg's, i would consider getting one.

yeah... they actually dont show their nicer guitars on the website. the ones i found at one of the shops here were great. string through body, and a great tone and feel. im still debating though.... but these are definatley one of my options

If that guitar had a OFR and a jackson-like headstock it would kick ass

the string through one up there looked pretty nice, but i didnt like the binding, to sparkly, i like the sound Duncan Designed get through alder-string thoughs, like some Schecters ive played.
ive never seen a Samick i liked though, so dont buy it from a site, get it from a shop, so you can test it out.
