Members mbengs1 Posted September 15, 2018 Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 I wrote a song with it. sounds kinda like led zeppelin. My singing isn't that special though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted September 15, 2018 Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 The singing is better on this one. Vocals should use actual pitches I say. Crappy splice on the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mbengs1 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 This greg bennett guitar is just about 170 dollars. It's low price but I like the sound. It's big and full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 This greg bennett guitar is just about 170 dollars. It's low price but I like the sound. It's big and full. What is the neck profile like on it? Does it have a solid top, or is it laminated? Aren't those made by Samick? Congrats on the new guitar!

The neck is kinda beefy. it's easy to play and fast. but the guitar itself is bigger than the normal dreadnaut acoustic. I guess they're by samick.

Members DeepEnd Posted September 18, 2018 Members Share Posted September 18, 2018 Congratulations and Happy New Guitar Day. Welcome to many frustrating hours tuning it. The song was okay with a retro vibe and I liked the harmonies but the mix could be better. The vocals need to be more prominent, I couldn't make out the lyrics. What is the neck profile like on it? Does it have a solid top, or is it laminated? Aren't those made by Samick? Congrats on the new guitar! Hard to say whether the top is solid or laminated without a model number but based on the $170 selling price it's probably laminated. And yes, Greg Bennett Design is the brand Samick is currently using for their own guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mbengs1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2018 I also got a Cort CR-50 les paul copy and a Jay Turser Tele copy. Both will have EMG pickups and Seymour Duncan pickups installed. the Cort will also get an Ibanez edge 3 bridge. I hope it's a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted September 19, 2018 Members Share Posted September 19, 2018 FWIW, I had a Greg Bennett D-8 come across my workbench a while back. The neck was separating from the body, there was a fairly large gap at the bottom of the neck heel and I could wiggle the neck against the body. I was obviously neither a dovetail or a bolted joint, I speculate that it might have been doweled. I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer seeking information but didn't get a reply. Gave it back to the owner with no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a thin profile but still beefy. reminds me of Ibanez wizard necks but a bit thicker. It sounds like a solid top but I'm pretty sure is a laminated top. I paid 9000 pesos for it and it sounds as good as the 35000 one that I saw in another store. I just wanted to try a 12 string coz I've never really played one before. I noticed the strap button at the back is low quality. It's plastic. but the strap button on the neck joint is metal. It fell off the first time I used a strap with it. But I just glued it in place so it won't fall off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
