I started out learning on electric many years ago and my first guitar which my wife bought for me as a surprise on eBay (without hearing it) was and still is my Samick Greg Bennett designed Royale RL2 semi in burgundy red. (No longer in production but I'm fairly certain you can still get them).
Turned out to be one amazingly beautiful guitar (exceptional build quality and great pickups) and better still given what she paid (bid) for it. (Discovered after I got it that it came with excellent reviews from all sorts of guitar player magazines and players in online forums later comparing it to Gibson equivalents). The RL3 version of the guitar won awards.
A real keeper but it could have gone either way.
