Duncan Designed humbuckers. Agathis body.

The Rockwell concept was a radical design in the 50's and the custom touch of master luthier Greg Bennett has taken this very aggressive design and made it even more extreme. The body has been expertly swept back and stretched for incredible balance on stage.

The very fast 22-fret, 24-3/4 scale neck is a shredders playground. Both the RW1 features a set in neck with rosewood fingerboard, flange base bridge for just about endless sustain, and the angled headstock produces maximum string tension and a straight string path for spot-on tuning.

A front-loaded, three-way pickup selector and one tone and two volume controls run the two high-output chrome covered Duncan Designed humbuckers. These guitars make a statement before you even plug them in.

"The Samick RW-1 Rockwell-One Hell of A Guitar Built for Rock-N-Roll Hell Raisers"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
My Rockwell was stolen from me, I replaced it with a jackson king v, but it truly couldn't be replaced.
Sound
Sound was great, but the factory Duncan pickups just didn't allow me to have the exact sound I was looking for especially on the bottom end. After installing two JB Semour Duncan Distortion pickups I really got the sound I was looking for. Just a great sounded guitar.
Quality
The quality couldn't have been better, a little heavy, but isn't this style of guitar really made for a tough rocker. It is a great guitar for the road, studio, well built and strong enough to withstand abuse.
Value
With the Rockwell you get more than what the sticker price is asking for.
The Wow Factor
A really sexy guitar that's guaranteed to catch everyone's eye, but don't let others look at her too long, they might just steel her away from you. That's what happened to me.
