As far as I know it was only a customer-supplier relationship between Samick and SPG. SPG makes their own guitars and was in the past (not today) also a manufacturer for Samick, but not Samick. models were and mosty still are made by SPG ( Sound Professional Guitar Co, Ltd.) in Korea, which is however NOT Samick! Initially (see explanation later in this post) Newark St.
Nothing is for sure with regards to Guild -) The others (Aristocrat, Starfire.) are still SPG (KSG serials) as it looks. Read this thread: Just to add, the acoustic GAD guitars were and Westerly Collection guitars are made at Grand Reward Education & Entertainment (GREE) in Hui Yang city / China.ĮDIT: It looks like all solid-body electrics (T-Bird, Bluesbird solid and S-100) come from WMI now (KWM serials). models are obviously now made by WMI ( World Musical Instrument Co. (Easy to see, "KP" serial numbers are Peerless, "KS" are SPG).īut now I explain why I said "initially". To also correct some wrong info I constantly read, Samick has never built guitars for Gretsch either.Some Gretsch guitars were made by Peerless in Korea, and then in late 2007 (?) production was transferred to the SPG factory. SPG makes their own guitars and was in the past (not today) also a manufacturer for Samick, but SPG is not Samick (anymore). So they were no longer in the former Samick building when they started production of the Newark St. Later in May 2011 SPG relocated into a new built factory at 19, Bupyeongbuk-ro 236beon-gil, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, Korea. models were and mosty still are made by SPG ( Sound Professional Guitar Co, Ltd.) in Korea, which is however NOT Samick (anymore)! When Samick moved production from Korea to Indonesia in 2003 former employees bought out the Samick factory and founded SPG. Click to expand.Nothing is for sure with regards to Guild -)
