Comments:
much darker than my tele, but with a few tone adjustments on my amp, it sounds awesome. The sustain is incredible, it just sings! I use a fender hot rod deluxe and an old yamaha G212 hooked together for my amps. I have plenty of power. The pickups on the samick are louder than fender tele or strats, I have one of each, both american standards, great gutars, but so is the samick!

Comments about
Samick JZ123
:
The finish is beautiful. Mine is wine red. The neck and body are bound in white. The neck is the fastest I have played in sometime, maybe ever. Initial setup sucked, It had heavy strings and set high, it was easy to correct with new strings and the tune-o-matic type bridge
Overall Opinions of
Samick JZ123
:
Pros:
This guitar plays better than most gibsons I have played. It has a much faster neck than my tele or strat. It has remarkable sustain and the tone controls make a big difference in the sound. A really fine, beautiful guitar.
Cons:
The fingerboard inlays look a little cheap. Like maybe they cut some corners here. Nice dots may have been the way to go.
