I have a Samick Telecaster and I like it a lot.
I remember reading that Samick is perhaps the largest manufacturer of musical instruments on the world. Samick is a South Korean company.
A picture would help a lot. You might recognize something similar on google images.
I interpret your description a modified Les Paul type guitar. I suspect the set neck is probably a feature of Samick higher grade guitars, and it might be a nice instrument, comparable in sound to the Gibson Les Paul.
I find the case is often a clue to the quality of the guitar. If the guitar comes with a nice hard case with heavy duty latches and velvet or fur lining then the instrument is likely of a higher grade.
Does the guitar resemble one of these:
