Just look at how aggressively the belly cut on the side is.
They turn smoothly with no slack and hold tune well. They aren’t as fine as the Chapman M元 Modern’s 16:1 tuners, but are still a very respectable 14:1.
The Grover tuners allow better granular tuning than the tuners on many of my guitars. Part of this is from being well balanced, but it also has two strap buttons on the bottom so that the player can choose the bottom strap position that works best for their playing style. Unlike my Gibson SG, the UM3 does NOT suffer from neck dive. I mean, seriously… at 6.4 Lbs this little Samick is almost as light as my Gibson SG. Some things I like about playing the GB UM3 guitar The thin, solid alder body is amazingly resonant and really seems to reinforce the bass tones. In short… it looks like Greg Bennett went for a neck shape that would make the average players happy. The Ultramatic 3 neck is thick enough for me, but thin enough that I expect most folks will like it. 
With big hands and long fingers, I tend to like chunkier necks better than thin necks. The neck shape is a generic C shape, which fits my hand fairly well. While the string spacing is a bit narrower than I prefer, it still plays rather nicely. The SDD pickups sound great clean and they love it when some gain is thrown on them. This is one of my favorite guitars to play. After scrubbing the fretboard and frets, oiling the fretboard, and installing a new set of D’Addario XL strings it almost looks like a new guitar! Instead of using a guitar-specific oil for the fretboard, I use the same mix I use on raw wood gunstocks, as seen in this article… option #1.Įverything went back together well and I dialed in the action to my liking, then set the intonation. This guitar was set up fairly well when I got it, although it had crusty old strings, the frets had an interesting patina, and the rosewood fretboard was dry and filthy.Įven in this poor state, it showed potential with a fairly low action and super comfortable body.
