Samick MFN-130 BLS

Post by phoenixash »

OK here she is Samick MFN-130 BLS rare find was only made for 1 year 97-98 Ash body and Wilkinson trem, after a new set of strings, fret dress, a good clean and intonation and setup sounds just like I expected it would big clean and grunty cant beat a good p90 even better 3 of em. The whammy bar is just one I had lying around as it never came with one not really the right one but works ok for now I like the matt black pickguard with chrome p'90's . I do know that Samick bought out Hondo and some of the earlier samicks looked just like Hondo gats the Hondos had Bill Lawrence pups so I wouldn't be surprised that these are BL's as they sound mighty. Made in Korea.

Wow!

Love the transparent blue... and the angled P90s are way cool - plus it has a nice shaped headstock unlike most Samicks :) Very tidy bridge. Great to see companies innovating on classic designs (speaking of this... Godin Progression here I come!). Nice score!
