All user reviews for the Cort M700

bought for 400 at a music shop

This guitar is one of the best ever made, to put it simply. Features include gold hardware, wilkenson tremolo, binding, beautiful cherry sunburst finish and the hottest pickups in the world: Mightymite. I'd never heard of Cort before and i was looking for a guitar that had a good humbucking tone, already owning a strat with coils. I was about to throw in the towel and pick up a Les Paul when i found this thing hangin' in a music shop. had no idea what it was, plugged it in and was AMAZED. far better then any LP vintage or new. bought it a few days later. cranked it up on my Peavey and it's been rockin' ever since. another great feature is a coil tap to switch the buckers to coils. Put it on the mid or bridge pickup, turn up a little gain and you've got a great neil young (try cinnaman girl/ohio) or Pearl Jam (rearview mirror/smile) sound. or use the bridge pickup w/ a fuzz box for a Zeppelinish (houses of the holy) sound. but switch it to the clean channel and put it on the neck pickup and man, you've got an ingenious jazz sound. Mightymite pickups are about the greatest pickups ever and the features on this guitar are that of what you would find on a PRS for hundreds of dollars more. this guitar is simply the best ever made. plain english.


the only problem i hadd was that the g string was falling out of tune a lot at first but after a little graphite on the nut it was fine.

AMAZING gold hardware. hot pickups, neck and body binding, flawless cherry sinburst finish on a flame maple top. mahogany back. coil tap for single coil/humbucker switching wilkensin tremolo, what more could you possibly ask for

Once again, simply the best guitar ever made...and it a price that is to be laughed at...they've sure got me sold
