SPG was originally part of Samick http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Samick_History
Serial number info: http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Serial_Numbers#SPG
SPG's birth was the result of a bunch of Samick employees who didn't want to see their jobs shipped off to China when Samick went in search of the next-layer-lower labor force cost, so they bought the company and kept it in SK - I'll bet they do good work for its own sake - I know those D'Angelicos look good.
Thanks for the info. |
That's interesting to know!
One thing is clear to me from direct experience: South Korean D'Angelicos are made as beautifully and exquisitely as any Gibson I've owned or seen - and very reasonably priced for the fine quality and tone that they exhibit. I would eagerly recommend them to anyone interested.
