MGR/Steve « Cort G260HB »
Published on 10/02/04 at 15:00I bought this on eBay from Cranes Music in Cardiff for £190 (new). My son started playing electric guitar and I got the bug!
I liked the look of it on eBay and it seemed pretty good value.
I like the all-wood, swamp ash finish. All the hardware is top class - Duncan Design hot rail pickups with coil tap, Wilkinson bridge/tremolo, light swamp ash body, locking machine heads and roller nut for uncompromising tuning stability. Classic strat 5 way switching gives gives you all the Fender type sounds you need and with the "pull of a pot" click in the coil tap for fatter Gibson and Ibanez tones.
It has a really nice sound and good action.
When it arrived I only needed to tweak the intonation (alter the string length at the bridge). The neck was perfect and action very good. The quality of the hardware was excellent.
Humbuckers are good and even in single coil mode there is no hum.
These are only minor niggles cos I am desperate to put something in here!
1. Front strap button is on the back of the guitar top horn rather than on the point of the horn.
2. 1 fret end is a tiny bit sharp and needed careful dressing with a file.
3. It is on the heavy side (but then how can you make a thick solid body give such a nice tone!)
Excellent! Good quality neck, pickups, nice tuners, knobs, bridge, etc. Really solid guitar!
I was very pleased with this guitar and think it is fantastic value for money. I will definitely consider Cort again when I next need another guitar.
