A Good Buy?

I was recently reading Guitar World Acoustic and came across the review for the Samick Continental OM8CE A/E guitar. I had never heard of the company so didn't think much of the guitar. However, it got a great review and costs almost nothing. I think it looks great, too. The imitation abalone bonding looks very cool. What's your take on this guitar? I personally like it.

Then go to continental and the OM 8 CE

Ya'know the silvertone guitars that you see all over the place? Samick makes those. I don't know if Samicks and Silvertones play the same but that looks like a decent guitar, I like how it's cut away so you can get to higher notes.. I can barely get to the 15th fret on my guitar if I'm lucky. If it was for a good price I'd get it. (Notice the Fishman in it, extra points for that.)

Damn, good reviews, I think I should go buy one for that price.

That got great reviews. The guy at this guitar shop in toronto said that Samick makes all the guitars for epiphone which is some good insurance. I wasn't able to play the exact model but i played a similar SAmick and liked it alot. Looks like ive found my first acoustic guitar (I was all electric before this)
