Brand Name: Samick Silvertone

Model: ST 1 6

Price: $100

Review: This is the 36" student model with nato top, sides, back, and neck. The fingerboard is rosewood and the scale length is about 23.4". I bought it new 4 days ago andthe supplied(medium?) D'Addario EXP strings are sounding good. Overall construction is excellent. The tuning machines work and look like those on a $500 guitar. It's a cool looking, well proportioned little guitar that is surprising loud. With the hardwood top the treble is accented and varying theright hand attack can produce many nice colors. I bought it as a camping guitar, but I would recommend it to anyone looking for some fresh sounds on a budget.

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 9

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: I wish I had bought it sooner
