Verbatim ad copy. Thus obviously not NPOV. Deleted. Is there anything interesting to say about those guitars at all? They may be nice, perhaps even "great" as was previously stated, but they do not look terribly innovative to me. AB.

I had a look at the old edit, clearly copy pasted from somewhere! Had a chuckle at that. There is a lot to say about Samick, as they do make guitars for other brands (Epiphone anyone?), but that can be said on Samick's page. I have plaied a few of these Greg Bennett Samick guitars (the LP, SG, and Explorer copies), and they are pretty good, they are loaded with duncan designed pickups, and they are nicely put together. They probably do offer the best value of all Korean guitars. Anyway, I think that effort would be better spent on the Samick page, as everything here applies there, and then some.

"Greg states that bigger headstocks rob more energy from a vibrating string, causing less sustain" This is almost exactly wrong! A larger (And therefore heavier) headstock increases the balance of weights between the heavy body and the lighter headstock preventing "wicking" of the energy imparted to the neck via the strings. This is the reason that some people put G-clamps on the headstock when recording, it increases sustain. Large headstocks are not seen very often as it's just not practical from the point of view of balance of the whole instrument when it's on a strap. --Matt - www.mmguitars.co.uk 16:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think that headstock size doesn't matter. I've seen people hook brass plates on their guitars and they sound the exact same. Most of this headstock nonsense should be filed under the 'people with too much time on their hand' label. Samick DOES claim this to be a feature, so print it. I personally don't think it matters. 66.188.45.226 02:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)B[reply]

Written like an ad

Most of this article really seems like it only has purpose of advertising Bennett's guitars, especially the very long and slightly incorrect list of Bennett models. I am about to add this template:

I agree. There is plenty to say about Samick and its unique role in the Guitar industry but this page looks like a cheap advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.42.147.4 (talk) 07:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
