SOLD Samick Rockwell R1 Explorer, will trade for Squier Tele

jdbwales · October 2015

I've had this as a bit of a project, it's currently sporting a less than stellar spray job but it's solid and it does look good!

It's a 2003 Samick Rockwell Explorer copy; these are full size Explorers with a set neck and a bloody marvellous feel/fretboard; really quick, wide and flat for shredding. 14" radius I think! Very resonant and loud unplugged as well.

All electronics work well; there is currently an Epiphone gold covered humbucker in the bridge and a Tonerider Alnico 2 humbucker in the neck. The guitar sounds huge, really chunky and clear sounding but surprisingly classic and bluesy in the neck. Quite versatile actually!

Also included is a Warwick heavily padded gig bag and Levy's black studded strap. The guitar does have a few dings and dents but obviously that's to be expected.

As this is all set up and doesn't need anything doing to it (apart from changing the paint if it bothers you!) I'm not sure where to price it for trades - try me!

The guitar was originally around the £300 mark and the Tonerider's worth about £30, but obviously I'm unlikely to get that value so whatever you feel it may be worth, ask away! Things I'd definitely be interested in would be a Squier Trohman or other Tele type guitars. What have you?

I'm in Somerset but can travel reasonably to meet up. I'd rather not post as it's only a padded (admittedly heavily) case, but I could do if necessary.
