I'm just starting back into playing after raising the hellions.
So I pick up the Samick after playing $200 to $600 models and I felt the sound was better than most and about equal to a couple.
I look at the price... $125, and can't believe it... I bought it...
I also bought a second one off of ebay for my second residence...
I know it's just a plywood student guitar, but the sound is so well rounded, and the construction and features are also there... grover tuners, abalone rosette, etc... Great protective finish that doesn't seem to diminish the tone at all.
I also brought one to work to show an actual player, and he wants me to go buy the second one that was still at the shop for his kid.
If you see a Samick D-1 and need a mess around guitar or you are learning, you can't go wrong... buy it, or at least try it... don't look at the price first.
Recent prices I've seen new on the internet have been about $135 to $160... my local shop had it for $125.
One had passable but a little high action, but I read some where that there are shims under the saddle that can be removed to lower the action... I'll try that on my next string change.
