Samick JTR EV-10 Elvira
Remember last Halloween, when we thought that an SG would look cool with violin c-bouts‽ [https://beige.party/@Neat_hot/113403966881874943]
Well so did Elvira! Or at least, so did Samick. When we were young, there was a pizza place that had an Elvira pinball machine. But, truth be told, we are actually not that familiar with Elvira’s body of work. We have no idea if she even plays guitar at all.
Samick is a Korean company who we vaguely recall once claimed to be the biggest guitar manufacturer on the planet. Maybe they were, maybe they are, maybe it was just hype. (Maybe we made that up?) In any case, they mostly build licensed import models for other brands. (Putting the “by” in “[Something] by [Somebody].” They also occasionally make their own branded instruments.
This is a 24 fret SG-type shape with violin style cutouts. Single hubucker, single knob. String-through-body, which seems to be how Elvira likes it? And not to brag, but we were right, it does look cool as hell.
Painted with a black top over a candy apple red body, which gives 60s Adam West Batmobile vibes. Not purple though, which is a shame. But we’re trick-or-treating here! Maybe the next house will have something good.
