The gold plating on much of the hardware is worn where you'd expect it - tuner buttons and pickup covers. One tuner at the headstock is swapped but it's not a bad match. Two of the knobs are older replacements but it's not obvious at a glance. I had to replace the bad original output jack with a new Switchcraft one. Very good condition for its age and all original early 1990s Samick CB630 black, Made in Korea: laminated body single-ply maple neck with scarf joint 24-fret rosewood fretboard with dot inlays golden hardware P/J pickups passive volume, pickup selector and tone controls 3.51 Kg / 7.73 Lbs. I have the pickguard removed but it and its hardware are in the case. It offers pianos, digital pianos and audios, DJ, guitar and bass products, ukulele, orchestra, and other educational instruments.

1990s Samick - KR-660 Artist Series (I think) Close.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. The black finish on the metal pickup surrounds has started to age and crackle. A place to share or ogle at fancy pictures of yours or others guitars and related instruments. Pickups: 2x warm-sounding, mid-output humbuckersĪction height at 12th fret: 1/16" overall (fast, quick)Ĭondition notes: there are minor dings in the binding on the back edge and light scuffing/scratching here and there throughout. Repairs included: fret level/dress, new output jack, cleaning, bridge compensation (3-plain, 3-wound) adjustments, and setup. I would not fear dragging this to gigs anywhere and everywhere. Its original pickguard is stashed in its hard case (because it's a cheap printed-tortoise material and was distracting) and a few parts are swapped-out, but it's survived essentially intact and it's in good shape and durable. This one's been played a bunch and isn't squeaky-clean, but it does feel loved. It sounds like it ought to and even through my very tweed-y-sounding amp, you can hear a bit of the jazzy tones it's able to dish out. It's all-ply in the body, fully-hollow, equipped with two retro-but-mellow humbuckers, has a long 25 1/2" scale length, and a slim, quick neck that's very late-'60s Gibson but without the super-narrow nut.

When comparing the serial number to others glimpsed online, it seems to suggest a 1990 date. How about them big apples? This same basic L-5 copy guitar can be found on various brands in the '80s and early '90s - Hondo, Vantage, and Washburn are some - and this one bears the name of the actual factory that built it in Korea.
