    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought this guitar in 2006 and I use it regularly since. Lightweight, comfortable in hand, it's my driving guitar can stay in my living room on his foot. And of good quality for a cheap price, I would do this choice

    The Cort X-2 is a Korean guitar With classic trestle team vibrato
    There are 24 frets, two humbuckers (without names).

    UTILIZATION

    Handle a very pleasant, a bit heavy and fairly easy access to the treble.

    SOUNDS

    With this guitar you can play both a slash from metallica ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 and it suits me very well! I remake that choice without any problem.

    what i like in this unit is what you get for what you paid. i think that it could be a very good guitars, amnd after its doing not bad for now but i had some problems with it. its sound is very sweet and nice on clean and distortion both. its shape looks very good... this guitar is a babe.. my crt is in black finish and it looks very beautiful.

    well here comes all the problems. well first, even with the double locking tremelo its still goes out of tune, and it takes years to put it in tune and to keep on it. i had a problem with the floyd rose when i replaced my strings it went up very high but i fixed it by strengthenning the screws on the back of the guitar. its still goes out of tune now but not really out... really a little bit. after all its a very good guitar and you need some patience for it. by the way because i was needed to be involved alot with the tune i have a very musical hearing and i dont need any tuners my ears are the best tuners you will get.

    ok this is an indonesia maden guitar(are there guitar factories in indonesia???) it has a bassword body, its pickups are h\s\h, mightymite pickups(well they sound better than theyre name and thats for sure). it has a double locking tremolo system. it has 24 frets and mine is in black finish very beautiful ike ive said before. one tune and one volume buttons. it has a 5 way pickup selector.

    i think that its a fine guitar for the start and maybe i can change it to a better pickups but the main problem is tunning. i give it an 8.if it was stolen id probably buy a better guitar without floyd rose or with a very good one. i think that if you want to start and you dont have patience for tunning problems you can forget it but if you do have, its can be your perfect guitar nd besides without it i wouldnt have this prfect musical hearing. weii thats all.

    Cort X-6

    Cort X-2Published on 01/08/04 at 15:00
    I was walking round oxgord for a looking fora new guitar and i saw this shiny lack guitar staring me in the face. I instantly walked into the shop and played the guitar to death. I ended up paying around £250 for the x-6.

    brilliant fretboard. easy to pull of impressively fast solo's, and has a great range of different tones. the tune holds well an the whammy bar has a huge range.
    24 frets and 2 humbuckers and 1 pick up.
    To ths day i still haven't found a better
    ibanez than this cort.


    clamps on the headstock can be tedious

    6-strings. Two humbuckers one pickup in the middle. very curvey. a floyd rose tremolo.

    Nice for beginners

    Cort X-2Published on 10/18/11 at 06:21
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    This is a guitar with two humbuckers Korean no name, a classic vibrato and a handle 24 cases.
    An earlier opinion indicates that it is equipped with jumbo frets but it's obviously not the case on an instrument to less than 200 euros.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is correct, the frets do not exceed the sides as is the case on some models, but obviously it's a little lottery at this level on entry-cort. The shape of the instrument is ergonomically against the weight is not negligible (closest to the weight of a Les Paul than a stratocaster).

    The vibrato is unusable (detuning immediately regardless of the intensity of use) but it's not a surprise on the entry.

    The vibrato is unusable (detuning immediately regardless of the intensity of use) but it's not a surprise on the entry.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is very loud and aggressive (especially bridge pickup), you do not use it for the garage rock or metal filthy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It was my first guitar, it was quite the case at the time, we must admit that my technique does not require a more upmarket instrument ^ ^.

    For the price I think its flaws are easily forgivable, evidence, many guitarists start on this model without keeping a bad memory by then, it's always fun to play the "metallic" with a guitar when aggressive starts the instrument.

    The value for money is still well above what is found in entry-level brands such as Epiphone or Squier.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Frankly a good guitar for beginners, the major weakness is the floating tremolo, but once she is well blocked the agreement.
    the price quality ratio is really great as it sounds casually and less than 200, Cort feels really very good entry-level

    EDIT 18/03/08: I have revised my opinion the overall increase was because I had the opportunity to compare it with more high rise between 200 and 500 and the issue of vibrato is no longer one for me

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using this guitar for one year. Since I didn't have a lot of money when I started out I had to learn with this budget guitar. It offers a great value for money. As a beginner I would buy it again without hesitation. It's perfect to play heavy metal but for clean sounds the pickups have a very poor performance. Even when you try to EQ the highs with the tone control, the response remains very harsh.

    I still own it and I think I will make it my second guitar with a special tuning for heavy metal only. I prefer playing a higher quality guitar for everything else.
