     | Samick Les Paul Copy Reviews 3 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI saw this guitar at a local pawn shop.
It was only $100, so I picked it up.
I'm not a Les Paul purist, and I wanted a quality Paul copy.
 The guitar is as close as you'll get to a Gibson without buying one.
It has that "beefy" Les Paul sound.
I've used it in the recording studio,
which in my opinion, is the guitar's primary function.  I use flatwound strings to smooth out the tone.
 
 Being a second hand guitar, I had to fidget with the electronics.
It's a high maintenance guitar.  I'm always fixing this or adjusting that.
 
 The construction is praiseworthy.
It's heavy, but that's typical for the Les Paul style.
 
 
 I like the sound that I get with the Samick.
I'd recommend this guitar to anyone thinking about investing in Les Paul.
It plays and sounds similar to a USA Gibson.Georg Cocron  rated this unit    on 2003-06-28 .
