Acoustic Guitars2014 Product Catalog

We took over 50 years of experience manufacturing guitars for the worlds leading brand names andcombined that with designer Greg Bennetts experience in formal design and high-level marketing to develop a new line of acoustic guitars; guitars that are designed with real players in mind. Our philosophy? Create an instrument that players can't put down, because it feels right in their hands and sounds good in their soul.

In an age where manufacturing techniques have married high tech computer programming, Samick continues to be a pioneer in implementing the latest state of the art machinery in their production facility. Because of these changes, in 2013 we reevaluated the Greg Bennett line in an effort to focus our quality, aesthetics and sound performance into a sensible family of acoustic guitars targeted toward selected players. The results: three carefully defined collections - Standard, Intermediate, and Pro, each collection suited to a specific musician, or musical purpose.

From our headquarters just outside of beautiful Nashville, TN, Greg Bennett and Samick continue to focus on creating superb instruments that will inspire players, songwriters, and of course music fans. Seasoned U.S. engineering and design coupled with Indonesian craftsmanship ensure that Samick will continue to produce new and innovative guitars using distinctive tone woods sourced from exotic locations around the globe. Our ongoing product research means we will always incorporate professional caliber electronics and hardware, including pickups from Fishman and tuners by Grover.

From the young developing artist to the seasoned professional, more musicians around the globe discover the appeal of playing a Greg Bennett guitar on stage. We consider our artists like family, and value their opinion in the continuing development of guitars made specifically for musician's who care about the instrument they play.

Our story of designing and building the best guitars continues today, and there are no more rewarding stories told than those expressed by our happy customers. The appreciation and love for our Greg Bennett Design instruments is why we strive each and every day to manufacture instruments that will inspire players.

Here is just a sample of what our satisfied musicians have to say about our instruments:

I just purchased a Greg Bennett and it is great. The one word to describe it is smooth. I love it! - Brian from San Diego, CA

I picked up one of your Greg Bennett Acoustics, and I am amazed what a fine guitar it is,, it plays great and sounds wonderful. - John from Glen Falls, NY

I just wanted to say that I bought Greg Bennett guitar after seeing one in a store. I'm so enormously pleased with it that for the first time in my life I had to thank the makers. I have owned many guitars but this one gave me the excitement that I had when I bought and played my first guitar. Thank you! - Petter from the Netherlands

I must say, Greg Bennett guitars have impressed me. The craftsmanship, tonality, and feel of my guitar are equal to axes that I've paid many times more money for. And like any great guitar, the tone improves with age! I can't put this thing down! - Victor from Schaumburg, IL
