    Cort CL 1000

    i bought this guitar at a local shop brand new for $350.

    this guitar has great sound. it has a great neck for soloing, and the pickups really catch peoples eyes. the coil tap works great. its like having 2 guitars in one. i have played almost every style of music on this guitar, and it always seems to sound right. this guitar stays in tune pretty nicely too. the finish on the guitar is very good looking. the thickness of the guitar is perfect in my opinion. it's not at all like a fender where your arm and chest are extremely close together.

    there is not much to say about what i don't like about this guitar. well, the strap buttons arent the best, and i would like to recommend that…

    there is not much to say about what i don't like about this guitar. well, the strap buttons arent the best, and i would like to recommend that you get strap locks. their really is nothing else besides that that even has to be mentioned.

    this guitar is built pretty well. i had a little problem with how the pickguard was raised, so i took out the little black spacer thing under the pickguard. the guy i bought this guitar from said that the neck on this guitar is extremely fragile (i havent had any problems at all with it). this guitar is built great in my opinion.

    this guitar is a great overall guitar, so if your thinking about buying one, i would go do it right now.

    I bought this at a local shop for around $550

    This guitar is rediculously versatile. The pickups are fitted with a coil tap, so pulling off acoustic sim alongside hard rock isn't any problem with it.

    I think I might like a different set of pickups than what it comes with, but there isn't anything wrong with them. They just seem to be made more for gentle styles of music, like blues or jazz, whereas my personal style is getting a bit more heavy.

    The guitar came set up well, I've never had any problem with that. The neck is thinner than most, or at the very least it feels very playable. I would compare it roughly to a Taylor for how the neck feels, keeping in mind it's not an acoustic…

    The neck is a bit wide for my liking, but that's not any problem with the guitar as it seems to be made more for solo work.

    One problem that helped get the line discontinued was that this guitar was manufactured with loose bushings. If you buy one of these you might have to secure them with epoxy or something similar.

    I've also had problems with the coil tap sticking, but I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

    One last problem is the finish is a bit delicate. You do not want to drop this guitar or have anything bang into it or let anyone you don't trust with your only daughter's life touch it. It tends to chip easily.

    As I've mentioned, it wasn't manufactured perfectly. As far as the design goes (flame maple top over mahogany body, set neck same wood) it's great, but it wasn't built quite as tight as you would expect.

    Once you get the problems fixed it's a gem, but you gotta make sure you get it done.

    I've used this for a couple years now and I've never regretted buying it. As of the time I bought it I don't think there's a better choice I could have made.

    SOUNDS

    From blues to rock through the nerv jazz.Presque everything is possible except bourrin.Les big clean sounds are thick and melodious but may be closer to a Start by switching the micros.La main quality of this guitar is its versatility as it is doing for all types of music in spite of this lack of characters SPECIFICATIONS clean itself.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I Utis for 1 year and I intend to keep it as long trs efficace.Son highlight is the playing comfort it provides and comparing it polyvalence.Pour an ibanez and epiphone same price of a gibson see more CHRE I can assure you she eats lots of guitar on behalf prestigieux.L 'trying to adopt it so if you find ... (production t stop because too expensive). Achet 550 Euros I remake that choice every day until it is over and I plan to change the pickups and then l. .. warm front.
