milenko « Good entry level guitar, quality / price! »
Published on 07/15/11 at 12:05Manufacturing: Made in Indonesia
Bridge: Fixed Tune-type O-Matic tailpiece through
Mechanical: bath oils generic
Channel:
- Maple, Bolt
- Profile C
- Radius 12 "305mm
- Pitch 24.75 "629mm
Frets: 22 medium frets
Body: mahogany table photoflamme
Micros home: 2 humbuckers Powersound PSLPN neck / bridge PSLPB
Microphones mounted on mine: GFS LoudMouth neck / bridge PowerRail
Settings:
- 2 volumes
- 1 tone with push-pull splitter for dual microphones
- A toggle switch 3 positions
UTILIZATION
The handle is comfortable, easy to learn by any guitarist. It follows the great standards of the Asian time (C handle, radius 12 ", rather thin, and wide enough).
The ergonomics are good:
- The many bevels (stomach cutting, cut to the arm) allow the Les Paul-like to be particularly comfortable
- Body-neck junction is well contoured, allowing good access to acute
- But the guitar is quite heavy
- And tends to pitch down
Maintenance is easy:
- Heavy-duty polyurethane varnish: a sponge, and no more about it
- Through-strings involving a change of strings easier, and better resonance
The guitar also sounds pretty good vacuum, and we manage to get many good sounds with the original pickups.
SOUNDS
At the time I started, I played the Black Desire, a lot of Nirvana, Sweet Dreams of Mr. Manson, a little Led Zeppelin and the Offspring ... and Zenox Cort Z-42 responded quite well to my "needs".
The guitar, with its rather heavy mahogany body, sounds quite round, warm without being dark. The possibility of splittage can "clarify" this a bit, without reaching the level of a Stratocaster Asian entry.
The original pickups are correct in almost everything, but of any sound (hence my 6 / 10): a lack of fishing, and did not seem to be cut for large saturations (they defend themselves cons by quite well in clean and big crunch).
After a change in GFS pickups (bridge PowerRail Loudmouth + neck), it has totally changed personality, and has grown in character (I would put him 8 / 10 after upgrade).
Thanks to its microphones and its knobs and split very effective, it is a versatile guitar, with which we move easily from jazz records, a good registry rock.
I used it first connected directly to the soundcard of my laptop (yes, I was broke) and a Vox AD60VT Valvetronix very good (my first real amp).
I had no effect, except those of the Vox AD60VT.
I liked the sounds with the microphones of origin:
- The round and deep cleans
- The energetic crunches
With GFS Loudmouth neck / bridge PowerRail:
- Large distos pastes artificial harmonics PowerRail
- The solo flute with the Loudmouth
- The deep cleans and warm
- Cleans the split in fenderiens
The ones I liked least with the microphones of origin:
- Large distos, which sounded a bit garish, drafts, feeble
- The splittage who did not provide enough sound differences, except for a lower volume
With GFS, there was no sound that I hated: it was really good microphones.
OVERALL OPINION
I had this guitar for about a year and a half from January 2007 to September 2008.
Since I had other guitars: Teisco Spectrocaster, Fender American Standard Telecaster, Ibanez 540PII, Vigier Excalibur Indus.
And I've tried many others: Cort M200, Z-42, X-5, X-6, Ibanez SA120, RG321, Lag Rockline Metal Master, LTD F-50, EC-1000, Peavey Raptor, Yamaha AES620 , Pacifica 112J ...
I made my debut with her, I learned the basics of the settings / tunings / small violin with her. I do not regret it, but I have an affectionate thought when I think (a bit like a former youth with whom they remained on good terms).
It's a very nice guitar to play, and the fact that pitches down was not a problem for me.
Its price (new € 209, € 160 opportunities for me), makes it particularly attractive for any beginner who does not yet know whether to continue or not. And if it continues, this guitar is well suited to the various upgrades you can imagine, provided that he did not buy too expensive (no more than € 200).
Most:
- Violin correct
- String through-
- Well-designed guitar
- Splittage of microphones push-pull (very rare in this price range)
- Look pretty futuristic aesthetic friendly (people often find the photoflamme pretty ^ ^)
- PRICE SWEET!
The -:
- Original pickups slightly weak, and without personality
- Tendency to pitch down when playing standing (it can interfere with some)
- Fairly heavy guitar sitting in play
- Maple neck bolted to a Les Paul-like (it's just to quibble, since all my guitars have screwed up their sleeve)
To conclude: like most current Cort, recommended for those who do not want to invest too much, and looking for unbeatable value for money ... and also others.
If it again, I will be restarted if the guitar?
- To € 160 fdpin, I'd be willing to redo my debut with it
- € 200 in the area, there are guitars used a little more interesting ... but you have to choose them (experience required)
