About this product
The Samick CR1 Corsair is a four-string electric bass guitar, and this barcode is the black-finish version sold in the United States.[1] It belongs to the Corsair series that American luthier Greg Bennett designed for Samick, the South Korean instrument maker.[2][3] The maker describes the Corsair as a bass with a body scaled down from the large early electric basses for comfort, and a smaller, angled-back headstock that lightens the neck and increases string pressure at the nut.[2] It has a double-cutaway sculpted body, a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, die-cast tuners and a vintage stop tailpiece.[2]
The CR1 no longer has a page on the Greg Bennett Guitars site. The 8th Street Music listing for this barcode says it is no longer available.[1]
