This listing is for a Samick Bluenote Artist Series electric hollowbody guitar made in Korea in 1996. In the blue Book of Electric Guitars 7th Edition (2001) I found this listed under: American Classic Jazz Series HF-650 (BLUENOTE) The guitar has a single rounded cutaway bound hollowbody, Bound arched Maple top, with Bound F-Holes, raised black 5 layer pickguard, maple back/sides/neck, 22-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with abalone/pearl trapezoid block inlay, adjustable rosewood bridge/ Gold trapeze tailpiece, bound blackface peghead with Mother Of Pearl vines & Samick Artist Series logo inlay, 3-per-side Gold Tuners, all Gold hardware, 2 Gold covered humbucker pickups, 2 volume/2 tone controls, One 3-position switch, Sunburst (SB) finish, disc. 2001. MSR $1,125 New 100% - 98% - 95% - 90% - 80% - 70% - 60% Mint -- Near Mnt-- EXC+ - EXC -- VG+ - VG - G $850 - $750 - $698 - $650 - $595 - $550 - $495 Look close at the pictures and determine for yourself what you think of the condition/ cosmetics. Since the book was published in 2001 we look at the cosmetics and place them in the EXC+ range. This guitar has really seen very little play, and is in great condition since it is 18 years old! We cannot find any through surface scratches anywhere as a matter of fact it is hard to see the light strum marks on the pick guard. You will be hard pressed to find another guitar that was made in 1996 that is in better condition unless it is still in the original box!!! Again look close at the pictures to see the cosmetic blemishes I could get to show up in the pictures. The electronics are scratch free and the 3-way switch works the way it should. As you can also see in the pictures there is little tarnishing on the gold plating. It will be shipped in the hardshell case. Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Samick Plant, Korea November 1996 Production Number: 6819 Samick Guitars: Samick Guitars is one of the world's largest stringed instrument manufacturers.

However by 2004 no Epiphone guitars where produced by Samick and all guitar production had been moved to their factories in Indonesia and China.
