Features :No Opinion
97 Model I believe, top is green sparkle so I don't really know what's underneath. But I love the green sparkle finish, it's cool if maybe a little gay.
Standard LP controls and pickup configuration
old style LP type tuners - not that great but ok. They look cool but are kinda mediocre quality.
Sound :8
Sounds pretty good to me. Having owned both this and the AV-3 LP copy by Samick, I think the materials and workmanship are a little better on this one. The only edge I'd give to the AV-3 was that it had more mass and was heavier, and maybe had a little more sustain. However I had to pot the pickups on the AV-3 so the LS-450 wins because you don't have to pot the pickups :)

I think either Samick LP copy is somewhere within 70-90% of a real Les Paul sound-wise. Enou… Product: Review Samick LS-450 Artist

This is an update to my 2000 review of my Samick Artist series LP. I have 4 guitars now. Fender Tele Thinline (hot customized - voodoo pups), 2005 Samick AV4, A very hot custom strat (also voodoo pups, and a 2005 Gibson 333. I still love my LP 450. I upgrade the bridge pup (5 years later). I now have a bright Dimarzio bucker in the bridge. Just what I needed. 10 for all the features my guitar already had andI still love. samick lp-450

Samick LS-450 Artist Owners Review

Purchased From: ebay Price: $200.00 USD Features: 97 Model I believe, top is green sparkle so I don't really know what's underneath.  But I love the green sparkle finish, it's cool if maybe a little gay. Standard LP controls and pickup configuration old style LP type tuners - not that great but ok.  They look cool but are kinda mediocre quality. Action, Fit, & Finish: Unbelievably good for the price of this guitar.  Also much much better than the AV-3 that I owned. No flaws except possibly the use of cheaper components, but anything that nags at you is upgradable for pennies compared to the cost difference between this and a Gibson. Sound Quality: Sounds pretty good to me.  Having owned both this and the AV-3 LP copy by Samick, I think the materials and workmanship are a little better on this one.  The only edge I'd give to the AV-3 was that it had more mass and was heavier, and maybe had a little more sustain.  However I had to pot the pickups on the AV-3 so … Samick LS-450 Artist Owners Review
