Check out two Samick LaSalle models. These Samick LaSalle archtops were built in 1990. The amber Samick LaSalle is a JZ-1 model. The Blonde Samick LaSalle is a JZ-2. Both Samick LaSalle models were designed by Greg Bennett and are said to be made in Indonesia, based on the serial numbers.
Here's what you'll learn in this video:
● Why the Samick LaSalle is the KING of cheap archtops
● A detailed breakdown of the guitar's features and construction
● Demonstration of the Samick LaSalle's incredible tone and playability
● Is the Samick LaSalle the right archtop for you?
● Does The Samick LaSalle stack up against the king of achtops, the Gibson L5 - head to head comparison
The Samick LaSalle is built to same specs of a Gibson L5 with a 17" Lower Bout Width and a 3.5" Depth. Dual Humbuckers make this an ideal Jazz gig guitar. Both of them include very nice hardshell cases.

I am not using an amplifier in this video. Instead, I plugged the Gibson L5 CES straight into a Mackie mixing board, going directly to my Apple Mac Mini. The EQ is pretty much flat and I am using a little reverb. Mackie ProFX16v3 16-channel Mixer with USB and Effects:
