Not trying to be big headed, but had some really good results from my Law degree.

Was walking past a shop and this guitar jumped out and said "you have done well treat yourself".

Its a Samick, never heard of them but its nice.

Oiii big head,

Well done on your results, I had a little 10watt Samick amp years ago and it was incredible, so if that's anything to go by I would think the guitars should be pretty good too...

Nice one James - have you completed your degree now or just part of it?

And well done from treating yourself. Looks good.

Well I am sure it will be worth the effort in the long run! It is rare that hard work doesn't eventually pay off!

Crowhue, this is an old post. I have sold this RL2 guitar to upgrade it to an Samick RL 4 Ltd. In my opinion, I bought the RL2 guitar over a epi dot. It had a better feel, and all round better quality. I changed the pups to some Entwistle HV58 and the RL2 was punching well above its £200 price tag.

I have tried to buy it back it was on Ebay last month, the fellow that bought it was selling it on but I missed it. I have done a review on The RL 4 Ltd its in the Guitar review section.

And I have bought another Samick Greg Bennett the AV6 Lts which again, this is only my opinion, had a far better feel and finish then the Epi Les Paul it cloned.

You can't go wrong with a Samick.

On another side note, I was on the phone with Trev Wilkinson last week and he said that the instruments that come out of Samick Korea which all my Samick have done are comparable to some high end U.S instruments. I wont mention the company he mentioned but I saw one of their guitars costing over a grand with a four piece body. So there is a bit of truth in what he was saying.
