I Don’t Know How They Can Sell These Guitars So Cheap! They Sound & Look Great! | Jazz Guitar Review
In this video, I show you a guitar that I just acquired and am putting up for sale. It is a Samick LaSalle JZ-4. I have shown you other Samick LaSalles before, but I have never featured the model with a floating Johnny Smith pickup. I think this thing sounds amazing, and the look of it is pretty stunning when you consider the low price of these Samick archtops. To be honest, It is astonishing how they can sell these for so cheap because the craftsmanship is pretty darn solid. Let me know how you like it! Leave me a comment, and if you are interested in buying it, send me an email at Rich@GuitarCollege.com – Thanks for watching!
Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales, along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: https://guitarcollegelibrary.com/

Love that Guild guitar on the wall. It looks like a X-500. I had a pre fender X-500 sunburst with a master volume like yours. Sadly I had to sell it. She was a sweetheart.
I don't undestand why guitars are so extremly expensive
"Pretty nice," you say… I'd say that sounds fantastic! It's hard to say how much is you and your nice touch and how much is in the instrument itself.
Beautiful sounds and great playing.
Get to the point. How much can I buy one for? I bought a prototype of a New York Pro for $150. I put jumbo frets and a Seymour Duncan '59 PAF plus Grover Imperial tuners on it. It blew away my '64 Byrdland.
how many guitars do you have?
So you got the bartolini picup on that, what comes standard on this? And does it sound as good with the picup it comes with? And did you say you are offering it up for sale? Did I hear that right?
Really like that playing… That's so nice!
How much are these? You'd do way better with an Eastman. Ok less than $500
Forget about the guitar! This guy is a premier league musician.

Photo-finishes aren't that common, you can do veneers real cheaply. Tilt it in the light, if the swirls in that quilt look real deep, like they move in the light, its probably a veneer.
How Cheap is cheap?
I own a Samick guitar. They make guitars for several well known brands, but their own proprietary- named instruments fly under the radar and punch well above their weight. I have always been happy with mine and I own Gibsons, Fenders, Martin and Guilds as well.
Iwas surprised you are really good.
That shouldn't be called “cheap”—reasonable price, at best. I think we are so used to brands crimping their increased prices in us every year that we don't even feel it anymore.
Thay sounds so good because of you, thanks.
Where do you all find these guitars? If I Google Samick LaSalle JZ-4, it's as if only ten of these guitars were ever made, and none are for sale anywhere?
prob real quilt maple, paper thin. only downside is you can't refinish them
I Don't Know How They Can Sell These Guitars So Cheap! pay the workers nothing? just saying
You made me smile, was not expecting such a beautiful arrangement. Great tone. Looks so oomfortable to play.
is it possible that lee ritnour may have a signature L5 style sammik ???
pick any name, any of the great players. Properly set up, they could have played these Samicks their entire career without compromise.
i am surprised, that sounds fantastic.
!!!!!!!!!!
Quilt is probably a maple veneer
Okay I want that samick?
Rich, I recently bought a Quilter Aviator Cub, which really love, however after I changed strings on my L5 WM from Thomastik JS 112s to D’addario Half Rounds, I can’t get that warm fat sound I got the Thomastiks. Any thoughts on fattening and warming up the settings on my Quilter?
You're a wonderful player.
