Can anyone compare this guitar to guitar works inc in Virginia?

No, but I bought this guitar for my niece and it is a solid guitar not a toy. It holds tune really well and if you later change the G,B,&high E strings away from nylon it will really hold tune. I enjoyed this guitar so much I wanted to keep it.

I haven't seen the 259 dollar version and even if I had I probably wouldn't know the difference. The one I got was just a nice starter guitar that I use for playing Rocksmith.

guitarguy , I recieved my Korean RL-4 late last month . It had inspection tags dated 4/12/2005! Although the Samick box looked like it was accosted by a grizzly bear, the guitar itself was pristine and obviously never handled. Seeing that Amazon has (had?) only one more, I might assume they were from the same batch, although this assumption has no guarantees , of course. If not to your satisfaction (wink, wink), who could fault you for returning a 9 year old guitar . If it's in the same shape as the one I recieved, I'm sure you'll be thrilled !! Be sure to let me know ....

I did not buy mine from Amazon. From the day I tried my out to the day I bought it a 15 % drop in price happened. I researched these guitars and the average price is $280.00. I tried so many 335 type guitars under $1,000 and this is the best. Jay Turser is not a big name so discounts happen. Great guitar, I had trouble finding one to test beforeI bought it. I like it better than my Gibson 335, the sound and feel can't be beat.

SX is the manufacturer. The design of the guitar is a copy of the Fender Stratocaster.

I don't know. Google it. The boy's teacher says this is a great guitar for the money. We've had no problems. Sounds so much better than the cheep steal string acoustic he has.

I had a 52 Tele sold on (eBay) and there is no diff except that it is MIM. Excellent Guitar. I put a GE Smith 1/2 tele bridge on mine (eBay), Jerry Donahue Alnico II APT3Jd/APT1R pups (eBay) with the 4-way mod w/capacitors etc., (eBay); and a BBender /GBender Hipshot (eBay). Now its a $1500 custom shop Badass Moten-Gator Monster !!! ~skygod~ :)

A friend of mine runs a custom instrument repair shop in California. Unlike Guitar Center, he inspects and sets the action on ALL guitars in his shop. He immediately returns any instrument which has a defect of any kind. Any serious knowledgeable player knows what I am getting at. So if one is concerned about the action, buy the guitar from a reputable shop, or pay to have the instrument "tuned" at a such a shop. It really is worth the money.

NO -- similar but not the same. Aside from the cosmetic issue (nameplate, etc) The LTD has a solid alder body, where the special II has a mahogany laminate body. Does that make a difference? You decide. I think the tuners (& perhaps overall build quality) on the LTD are slightly better, too, but that's just an impression. Note that the LTD does NOT have an ebony neck; it's rosewood, just like the non-LTD.

They dropped right into my SE custom 24. Those two guitars should have the same headstock.

The guitar is made in Korea, but don't let that stop you... The craftmanship is very good to excellent. I'm a pro guitar tech , I play Jazz and it has served me well . I've compared it to other US and chinese made guitars and it is a great guitar for the money you spend . I will continue to use it until I can afford a custom carved top and back Jazz Box...

I have no idea. I bought this as a gift for my granddaughter who lives in a different state, about 800 miles distance from me; I've never seen the Guitar.

It is my understanding the are the same basic guitar...the difference being a change of rosette around the sound hole, just the appearance should be slightly different making it a Limited Edition. A good guitar for the money. I am not disappointed.

If say take it to an authorized Taylor dealer. They go to training on how to work on these guitars and they can advise well. My local dealer in New England knows everything about Taylor guitars. They employees who do service are factory trained and they are Taylor enthusiasts.

most definitely by the legacy company good for a starter guitar but if you are looking for somthing a little better add a couple of extra dollars and you can get something of really good quality i got my self a B.C. Rich after this one these are just those chinese knockoffs of the fenders

Yes, it does. I don't know what kind, but I assume it's their own brand. Right out of the box I tuned it up and it sounded wonderful. The frets are well finished and feel good. It has an excellent sound and feel, just what you'd expect from a similar, vintage instrument. I've used my Jim Dandy on a number of recordings and it's a great sounding contrast to dreadnought and jumbo style guitars.

Washburn , fenders or ibanez you would have to look a the specific products some are foreign made and others are not.
