SAMICK GOM100S VS

The G Series GOM100S is a full size Orchestra model acoustic guitar specifically engineered for the serious player. Carefully selected tone woods of mahogany and spruce create a sound that is well balanced and articulate, especially for finger pickers. It features a gloss finish and upgraded features traditionally found on guitars costing much more than the GOM100S.

Why the G Series GOM100S?

The solid Spruce top and Thunderflex™ scalloped bracing create a guitar top that 'breathes' more, resulting in greater projection when playing those big power chords. Multi-ply binding, a soft cornered bridge, and die-cast tuners give you a reliable guitar that will last for years. These great features plus an easy to play neck profile give you what can easily become your next 'main' guitar.

Solid top acoustics

If you had to pick the most important part of an acoustic guitar, it would be the top. The top acts like a speaker cone in your stereo.When the string is plucked, energy is transferred to the top and the top starts to move. The movement of the top moves the air and we hear the music. A solid top is more flexible than a laminated top, making it more willing to resonate and move the air. The result is a louder, fuller sound with more attack, sustain, and projection.

Solid spruce offers a tight, punchy low end response with great projection. Players who demand a powerful sound with tons of projection will hear the benefit of a solid spruce top. Solid cedar emphasizes the low mid response for warmth with great clarity and bright harmonics for definition. Players with a delicate or more intricate style will appreciate the cedar top.

Soft corner bridge

The rounded corners on our new acoustic bridge are visually consistent with the line, but there is a very nice physical advantage as well. The soft corners reduce the possibility of finish cracking that very often appears at the sharp corners of the typical bridge.

Scalloped braces

The technique of scalloping or shaving the braces can have a huge impact on the power and tone of an acoustic guitar. By shaving or reducing the thickness of the brace, it becomes more flexible and therefore lets the top move more freely and to a greater extent.When done properly, the brace maintains its structural integrity, while making the top more efficient. The result is faster attack, longer sustain, more bass, more power, and an overall improvement in the whole tone system. Players who demand tons of bass and power will want this feature.

More about the G Series:

There is a curious mindset with manufacturers about their entry level guitars. They tend to believe that economical guitars need to look cheap! We don't believe or understand this. A guitar should be visually inspiring, and include quality features; regardless of how much it costs.
