Welcome to the Samick Wikia![]

This is the #1 resource for information about Samick built guitars (of any brand name).

All models on this wiki were made in Incheon, South Korea by Samick unless otherwise specified.

This website is intended for educational and research purposes only, in helping to accurately identify Samick built guitars of the past and present.

The information contained in this wiki may not be 100% complete or accurate and is a work in progress.

We do not deal in the buying or selling of instruments of any kind, nor do we offer evaluation services for your instruments. Most prices listed are MSRP, taken from catalogs and price lists, and have not been adjusted for inflation (unless specified) and do not reflect the actual street value a model may have sold at.

If you have an older (pre-1999) Samick catalog, any Hondo catalog, or any relevant brand that you wish to sell, contact me through the forums.

About[]

Samick is a South Korean based musical instrument manufacturer, which was founded in 1958 by Hyo Ick Lee, with the goal of "enriching human life through music, the universal language". By the mid-1990s, they were the single largest guitar manufacturer in the world! Because they build under contract for many famous brand names, more likely than not, you've already played one of their guitars.
