Cort EVL-Z47

This scraper is manufactured in Indonesia, it has a fixed bridge, 22 frets and two passive EMG pickups, with volume control for each pickup and one tone knob and a selector three common position.
And matte black pentagram on the handle.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite nice to play (Cort Ibanez made the sleeves I think), access to acute and is easy thanks to its powerful EMG pickups that although passive deliver a large output level.
The only downside will be the balance of the guitar, the neck tends to go down but it's just a matter of habit.

SOUNDS

Perfect for metal, it was made for. I use a JCM 900 dual reverb changed and it gives the big sound I feels for past micro active but it does not really need.

I also use a V-amp pro at home and it sounds great.

I will flat in just a lack of heat at the neck pickup at the same time it is not the purpose of this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years, I also have another Cort (an M600) and I think this brand is unbeatable in terms of value for money, nothing to say on the finish, the sound for a guitar is a price is nickel chrome.

Made by a small imbalance when playing standing up, there is nothing to complain about.

Without a purchase order for any scratch willing to put themselves in the 7-string.

Fabirquée Indonesia
there was a very nice 7-string Cort home.
Handle a wider 6cordes (normal) but very pleasant, quite fine and flat.
22 frets, it's enough for me.
Micro level it has 2 EMG passive volume by microwave, and a general tone selector 3 positions.
Superb finish, no complaints except the pentacles as an inlay I'm really not a fan.
8 just for this last point, we would have won without inlay in sobriety.

UTILIZATION

As I said above the neck is very nice, you get used to the rope easily as well.
Access to treble is good, but I'm not often anyway.
Level ergonomics is all good too, neither too heavy nor too light, it was not the impression of having a toy in his hands.
We easily obtain a good sound? Yes!

SOUNDS

To play metal, it obviously does.
I had some prior on the EMG passive but now I think they are very good.
It was not the most accurate of the assets side, Personal I really do not like that sound a bit messy in high gain distortion.
In clean it out. Nothing transcendent.
Well of course, versatility is not his thing.

For use metal I put him 8.
For its lack of versatility, I take off a point.

OVERALL OPINION

For her price is frankly a surprise, the finish is nickel, super comfortable neck, the sound is not bad at all.
Obviously the look will not please everyone (I really struggled with pentacles ...)
Value for money unbeatable, a 7 strings of this quality at this price it's difficult to find.
I urge all those who are reluctant to move into the world of 7 strings.

Everything concerning the technical details, I think everything has already been said, or refer you to the manufacturer's data sheet available on its website.
Very good surprise out of the box, being accustomed to good brands like Fender or another, I had some a priori on Cort. The finish is excellent for the price, without reaching very high levels of brand, the Z47 is doing very well, much better for my taste IBAN which I have tested the 7-string entry-level (about 500 euros).
Personally I chose this model also for the look, the matte painting is superb (although fragile claws and scratches), all matte black hardware also gives it a modern look, sober, metal and sturdy, yet time, much prettier than the angular and the finish line random Ibanez).

UTILIZATION

The weight is good, is both enjoyable to remember that this is not a play, and tolerable on the shoulders a lot of hours with no end in walker.
The handle for me, the 7th string is confusing but after a few hours is appreciated, as well as if you pass on a 6 string then the handle will seem tiny.
The highs are very accessible.



SOUNDS

Was entitled to 2 EMG HZ (for the price not bad!), All liabilities is a little less accurate, necessarily, that assets but once connected, it was the potato!
I give myself relatively low, the Deftones to play, plenty to do.

I put him 7 because my grade reflects the fact that this guitar lacks versatility, but certainly when we bought it, 1 and 2 as we know it was the other side guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for several days, wanting to explore the sonorities 7 strings (why not 8 llol in the future) I will ever buy this without hesitation, that my taste the best money at this time, 370 euros on the net, finish, EMG, sound is almost gifts, excellent guitar to get started in this field!
