Samick EG202 Electric Guitar, (Used)

The Samick EG202 is a Strat-style electric guitar model produced by Samick, a large Korean instrument manufacturer known for building a wide range of entry-level to mid-range guitars for both its own branding and other companies under OEM contracts. Instruments with EG-series naming are Stratocaster-inspired solid-body designs from the late 1980s through the 1990s era.

Most EG202 examples follow a traditional bolt-on neck, double-cutaway solid-body layout made with basswood for the body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. They use a 25-inch scale length and features a 19-fret configuration. Hardware is simple and functional, including a vintage-style tremolo bridge and open tuning machines.

Electronics consist of a two-single-coil layout with a two off-on selector switches. Controls are a master volume and tone knob, designed to provide familiar clean and slightly driven tones rather than high-output performance sounds. The EG202 fits within Samick’s broader catalogue of affordable Strat derivatives aimed at beginner and intermediate players rather than highly specialised or boutique builds.
