This entry suggests the HS 35 "went for $5-600 when new." Samick HS 35 sold on eBay two years ago for $81 seller said it needed a neck re-set, though. Since it is not valuable as a collectable, the best thing to do is just to play it and enjoy it.Thanks for your response, does anyone else have any information? Before building their own factories in China, Gibson used to contract with Samick to make some of their Epiphones. Samick, in addition to making instruments under their own brand, also contracts to make instruments for other companies under different banners. As to value, I have seen this exact model for around 500 dollars. In fact build quality of yours is probably quite high.
Values are comparatively low because of the Korean manufacture. Properly set up I should think with that combination of wood it should sound great. They started out making instruments that were partially or completely made of laminate, but your model represents a time when they were trying to compete in the high end all solid wood market. Samick is a Korean manufacturer, and your guitar was certainly made in Korea, most likely in the 70s or 80s. Since it is not valuable as a collectable, the best thing to do is just to play it and enjoy it.
