Bought a Samick AV3LH (http://www.gregbennettguitars.com/av3lh.html) off eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3718779714) today. Got 25% off ($62.25 off $249) through Live Search Cashback (http://search.live.com/cashback). Got confirmation first from the seller that these are brand new serial'd units, and not seconds from the Authorized Inspection & Restoration Center.:D

Looks real nice, hopefully you are not right handed. I guess if you are, you can always play while looking in a mirror.

Nope. I'm a lefty. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

Let's see actual pics when she arrives. Those Greg Bennett series guitars generally have good reps.

Congrats!

Looks good WackyT, I like the body style and the headstock. I have heard good things on those. My favorite color burst as well. Great price:AOK:

Received her today!!!

She is beautiful! Had to tighten up the pots and switch, but everything else was good. I'll get some shots and maybe a sound sample up soon.

Also got a free gig bag from Adirondack. Definitely recommend them!

Sorry guys. It's been a busy week. Finally got an image of her uploaded.

I've only had a couple of opportunities this week to play her, but I'll see about getting a sound clip up.

Nice. I have been very happy with the quality of the Samick guitars. My AV4 smokes.

I just bought an unused AV4 on Yahoo auctions for 11,500 yen (about US$110). Came with a Greg Bennett/Samick softcase. The finish on it is very nice, I'm very happy with it for the price. I made a small recording with it in use (actually it's just the "ja-ja-ja-ja" part where all the other guitars drop out, but I thought I'd better justify the purchase of it :) ) . You'll have to forgive the repatitive nature of the song, there are no vocals recorded yet.

Very nice score. :AOK: I hope yours plays as nicely as mine. It's definitely in my top five of guitars I own for action, sustain and neck feel.
