SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.
I saw an '86 at the Crewe guitar show which I liked the look of - 375 notes - but it had a dodgy neck angle on it, and no TR cover - along with a bunch of other issues so I avoided. But I do think I want one.
Preference is sunburst, and '89 to '95 Samick - or maybe a late 90's Peerless (unless someone has a Jap they want to get rid of?) Def. pre Chinese tho.
Not fussed on condition - I know the HW will be tarnished and happy if it's been beaten about. Just so long as it has no issues, plays well and sounds ok.

Now have a Chinese sheraton in natural, slim taper D' neck.its a great guitar, don't think it's going anywhere, will change the pickups eventually. ..If you are stuck on a Korean that's your bag, but mine is a great player, set up with 11' gauge strings. . Bought it for £250 with original packaging and like brand new ! :-)
good luck in your search.

Just wanted to see if there were any in here first - you know, would prefer a sale from someone on the FB
It's added about £150-200 to that one on the furry grey rug!
I had a circa 89/90 Samick one in Natural. Very solidly built in comparison to a later Samick Dot I owned. Sold the Sheraton because I got bored with the colour (I know), but the Tobacco Sunburst ones look rather nice!
