Samick KR-660

[alessandroarzilli]

Hello everybody!
I've made a video review of my Samick KR-660 six-string electric guitar, since I couldn't find another on the Internet.
I bought it for around 100,00 $ back in 1998 at a local guitar shop, it was a second (maybe fifth) hand guitar.
Is there anybody out there that has ever played one? It really seems I'm the only one on Earth that knows this model .
Hope you'll like it.

Wow...nice guitar and good review! I actually own a Samick guitar in black that has only 1 pick up (bridge position) and I got it for real cheap at the pawn shop. I don't know what model it is but it's somewhat Strat shaped.

My first guitar was a Samick, ended up getting stolen within the first year so I don't remember it well (plus I knew nothing about guitars at the time). I don't remember it sounding terribly powerful, but it may have been all single coils. Hadn't heard or seen much of anything from them since (this was in '91). Mine was red and strat shaped as well.

Congrats great looking guitar!

I have a bunch of Samick TV20 Blues Saraceno guitars... what an underrated brand!

Oh that's very sad! I hate guitars stealers! Shame on them! Yeah they don't sound that extremely good, but you gotta love their tone!

Thank you so much! I can't seem to understand which model is the TV20. Do you have any clips or videoclips of you playing it?

My Samick is apart and packed away somewhere. I hope one day to spruce it up a bit and give it a second life. The stock humbucker sounds real good and doesn't have the adjustable pole pieces like on a regular hum...both coils have slug pole pieces. Thanks for the link because it would be interesting to see what model it is. I know that it's made in Korea.

Right on...but that guitar in your video looks like a high end Samick. BTW...I heard a long time ago that Samick is actually the world's largest manufacturers of musical instruments. I remember seeing a Samick grand piano in church before when I used to go there. It sounded it looked great.

Unfortunately not ☺. It's worth not more than 400 bucks ☺.
Yeah Samick are a big multi instruments crafter incorporated. Thank you for watching my review ☺

I moved overseas for a couple years for work... luckily I had it shipped here and it arrives in a couple weeks. I'll take a vid when it gets here... but the purple one is the one on the way:

So great!

I think I owned a green version of that guitar years ago. The bridge was a bit tired after years of usage (I got it used) and the neck pickup was dead, but otherwise it was a solid guitar. Good sounding acoustically and the neck was solid. Sold it because it was a bit too 80's for my tastes.

I found an old picture of my Samick guitar and here it is. Hopefully you know what model it is...I really like the neck on this axe and it would be a great guitar once I put it all back together.

[alessandroarzilli]

That's a really nice axe. Are you going to customize it?

Hopefully...the stock pick up I'm using in another guitar but I hope to use a special pick up in the bridge position. I really like this guitar and I hope to make something of it someday. It's definitely a keeper in my books.
