  1. +1 on everyone's comments so far. That guitar is very nice. Recently I purchased a 70's-80's"Memphis" black lp custom copy that looked just like that and it played excellent. I put a Gibson 500T in the bridge, the stock neck pickup was a good match. The guitar was a bolt-on, which never really bothers me anyway, bolt-ons were good enough for Jimi, Gilmour, Beck, Blackmore,ect.... but for a lp I do prefer a set-neck because lp's already have limited access to the upper frets and every little bit helps. I had a 1970's Ventura (Bruno) SG copy that had such an incredible sound here in my home, they are great because many of the 70's copies have an unpotted single-coil in a humbucker cover For cost-cutting), so a desired feedback was very easy to acheive with that particular guitar. It really gave the impression that I was playing a live show in an auditorium even at low-volume. Sold that guitar years ago and never found another one that would do that exactly the same way. Looks like I'll have to search for another Ventura. btw, they made some incredible acoustic guitars, especially the higher-end ones..that were still inexpensive in comparison to the models they were copying. Don't confuse these with the fairly new "Ventura" company that also makes guitars, not the same Ventura. Nice guitar you got there. I liked all the Samick guitars I've had in the past.
