Two for One!

These Martin clones are pretty close to each other.

The "UMI" (made in Korea) has a nice balanced tone, with some real low end response. $20 at a thrift store. It had a cracked heel, but it glued up real nice.

The Samick "Greg Bennett design" GD-100SPK/N is very similar, not quite the bass response. It is a much newer guitar, it may mellow out as it gets older. It was made in Indonesia. I found it in a dumpster, with not a mark on it! It needed a little set-up work, but now plays and sounds good.

Not too bad: two perfectly usable guitars for $20.

Update: Sold both at the great guitar purge for $60 each!
