UTILIZATION

SMALL guitar.

The handle slides well. Access to treble was a bit tricky at first ... I now believe it was me that was not used to play in this part of the handle.
It weighs 3.3 pounds and is very comfortable to hold. This is the most enjoyable guitar to play I tried actually.

In the past I thought the sound was bearable but it lacked clear attack and brilliance short, 2 humbuckers were too round. In the same distortion problem was worst in ... inaccurate and too low.

I then changed the micro side of a bridge-type micro Bill Lawrence and there was all good in distortion as clear.

Then I sold this guitar but I really missed a lot ... so I managed to find in one and frankly with another amp has good sound in distortion or even clear of origin (for microphones of origin).

I again changed the original pickups and put 2 EMG HZ ... While there, the violin is terrible and the sound superb. Sound requires quite a few settings toutesfois end because this guitar delivers a LOT of bass.

SOUNDS

You will read this and if my criticism of the basic sound of the pickups are not totally unfounded, the fact remains that the original pickups are fine. Better than the EMG to play some funky things or like "blue hotel" if you know what I mean. Today (October 2007), I bought a second Cort CL200, in blue this time and I'll let the original pickups on it. The sound in hot and unlike my first impression, it does not Gleta too. I think I was not able to appreciate them and that my means of amplifications were bad. There, I have a VOX and it is the foot. 10/10 because even if I had criticism about it's more a question of specificity of default.

I play a little bit of everything ... reggae influences to Metallica through Bowie and so on ... With the microphones the original parties "harder" of my influences were impossible to play. With the new micro (30 E) is a very versatile guitar and pleasant.

I do not usually play with an amp but a "beast" basic sound card. I have a little amp still unmarked. I can get almost any sound I want with a soft. But with the original microphone was limited to the clean sounds.

Since I bought a vox AD50VT and I can say is the same footing with the original pickups!

OVERALL OPINION

My first comment was:

I for 1 year. I bought it used 150 E. I played a Squier Stratocaster before and I found limited ... it lacked roundness. I tried everything that came into my hand used guitar this price. With experience and in this price range, I would do this choice.

Since I sold this guitar and I bought the same. I love this guitar and the fact it is no longer manufactured. I do not sell below 500 euros ... is to say.

Today I bought a second Cort CL-200 blue-green, beautiful. I left the two models. He's happy.
