Value For Money : Excellent
Well then: Guitar Coren (trs of good quality) Basswood amricain table Saddle Flamm (superb, the dtail who cracked the purchase), Saddle handle with rosewood fingerboard 24 frets .

Mcaniques oil bath, blocking nut, bridge type Floyd.

Cot electronic, there are two double and one single and split, CONTRL by volume (although potentiomtre progressive), a tone (the tone knob push-pull can split the double) and s 5-position player classic
1. neck pickup (double or single according to the push-pull)
2. + micro sleeve split simple
3. simple micro
4. simple micro + split bridge
5. pickup (double or single according to the push-pull)

Output jack on the side, perpendicular to the body, quite fragile if we did not pay attention (a small knee in the branch jack and presto, it's good change) it is better to use a jack Querre (I know if you see).

Conclusion: These CHARACTERISTICS suggrent a versatile guitar, with its brilliant plutt. The finish is excellent, except may be for the screws tend to rust.

UTILIZATION

Channel: trs fast, thin and with a relatively strait Access in acute trs ais. Agrees well with trs shredders of all kinds especially since (a lightweight APRS rglage) strings are fairly close to the key (not as much as a ESP) and the frets are fairly high.

Ergonomics: The shape has been proven, the guitar is very well balance, not too heavy so quite handy in concert.

Sound: rglage with the original mics have a sound rather dull and not trspchu. You just have to go back a little and the sound is good trs (see "Tips").

Conclusion: In practice, it is a guitar that provides great room for improvement in many styles, visually it is happening everywhere but the remark, the manufacture is of excellent quality for a very competitive price dfiant .

It is also a need rgler guitar, because SETTING THE SERIES trs is not good, whether the bridges, the action or the pickups.

SOUNDS

The sound is versatile and can trs crdible be roughly mtalleux as in jazz or rock british rasta.
I use it on Marshall JCM 2000, gnral ineffective. It "means trs well" with this amp, the sound is transparent and trs reflte although the Personal of the instrument and the nuances of the game when I made the change 'on the microphones I'm talking about above, I had the impression of having changed guitar.

Clean channel: With a small gain, we get a sound both warm and bright on the humbuckers (neck warmer for the more brilliant for the bridge) and a trs its central ring with the microphone. When you push the gain, the sound starts cruncher if we attack hard and trs is smooth (especially neck pickup) once you get over it easy. With the gain merits, and the bridge pickup, you get the sound AC / DC, or in British rock gnral. Double drool a bit (I love). The splits that are worth playing with (the split metion specially acute)

Distortion channel: Sound a little drool on the agreements in the neck position, many middle, otherwise it is net in the bridge position (not as sharp as an example but it Dimebucker extreme) with a good dose harmonics, good sustain on all microphones. I never use the splits and simple saturation. In any case I'm in love with my solo sound (just with the amp eh, no effects or anything).

Conclusion: Trs good but not great, the sound of scratching is when the same high quality against price. Personally, I do not intend to change the pickups. The sound is expressive trs, you can really do enjoy your grades, for having played in concert, I'm glad trs trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 2 years. I like its looks, its versatility, its handle, the sound that I now have, in short, everything except my output jack is a little bit and I'll dfonce ending for change.

I tried many guitars, and well (Steve Vai, US Jackson, ESP ...), and every time I tell myself that this little Cort, I'm lucky to have it, so I'm comfortable with it. Sr is the microphones are not transcendent, not the doubt, but the audible Difference does not justify an investment as standard.
Say it is good to forgive its small default.

It is above all an excellent qualitprix, a boon for those who want to buy an instrument they will keep while putting a reasonable price.

I would do if this choice? Today I have more reason to make that choice when I became bte, so yes, DEFINITIONS.

I put an overall score of 10 for the price and quality report because I find that more brands should sell guitars of this quality that price.
