Hi all from Brisbane Australia..
Samick twelve string made in Indonesia has a beautiful tone, I call it the Pocket Battleship, because of the reduced size dreadnought shape and the best most playable fretboard I have ever encountered on a twelve!
99 Les Paul "Ebony" has a tone like a Steinway piano, this ax came with a GT headstock this is what Ed Roman says about the line..
My six string is a Chinese Weconic fingerpicker and it goes like a bomb - Yeah my place is kinda "bluesy," but that's how I like it .. Thanks for the great free videos Mojo!!

Exact Gibson copies right down to the trussrod covers, headstock shape and double diamond trademark .. real ebony with real MOP inlays, the only difference is the name brand and it's inlaid with the same material and the same font as the original.
I paid the meager price of $362.00 each including all freight costs from Korea & presumably a 20 or 30 dollar markup from each of the 2 importers who handled the guitars, dealer cost on the exact guitar with the famous name on it is over $2,300.00 not what the customer pays mind you. that's what the dealer pays. Presumably the customer pays close to $2,700.00 per guitar .. what a ripoff !!!!
