Cort G 300 RAW Natural Satin

Voor de prijs krijg je veel gitaar bij deze Cort! Ik zocht iets ter vervanging van de PRS gitaren die ik in mijn studio voor rock dingen gebruik. Deze Cort speelt heerlijk, de hals voelt heel fijn en de rvs frets met compound radius drukken overal zonder buzz of choking op. Trem werkt soepel en de Seymour Duncan pickups klinken heel goed. De gebruikte kleine pots en switch zijn van mindere kwaliteit (ik had eerst een exemplaar waarvan de tone knop geheel niet werkte). De satin afwerking voelt ook erg prettig aan en ziet er mooi uit.

I bought it a few weeks ago due to a few features that caught my eye. First, I needed a guitar that allows me to play comfortably without risking any strain or injury. Despite having 24 frets, it doesn't feel oversized at all, which helps a lot if you don't have large hands. Second, the Seymour Duncan pickups: the 5-way switch offers an incredible tonal palette to play with. They are highly responsive and versatile enough for any genre, from jazz to metal. The sound is so distinct and dynamic compared to my other guitar with active pickups that I actually had to tweak my pedalboard settings—it completely opened up a whole new universe for me.
Naturally, when it arrives, you'll need to do a quick setup and adjust the action to your preference. Aside from its ergonomic size, I was surprised by how lightweight and perfectly balanced it is. The finish is beautiful, though that’s personal taste. I absolutely love the locking tuners; they save you from the mess of having excess strings hanging off the headstock like wild palm trees. The bridge responds beautifully, holding pitch excellently during pitch bends and dive bombs without tuning issues, so you can play without fear. Finally, the stainless steel frets make bendings incredibly expressive because they feel so smooth and slick.
For this price, you are getting a hidden gem among so many overrated brands. I’d say it easily stands ground against a €1200 Charvel. Blessings to everyone, if you decide to buy it, you definitely won't regret it!

This is a phenomenally good guitar for this price. It looks great, it plays great, it sounds great. It was pretty much ready to play out of the box, although I did find the 'two spring' trem a bit too sensitive for my liking, so I added the third spring that came with it, and adjusted the set up accordingly. Now, it's as good as any guitar I've ever owned (some nearly three times the price of this). I was interested to hear how the coil split positions sounded, and while it won't win in a blind test against a strat or a tele, they still sound reasonably close in comparison. There IS a volume loss, when you switch to the coil split positions, but stomping your preferred boost method, when you switch positions, will sort this. This guitar will sound good playing almost any style, although I probably wouldn't recommend it for modern metal tones, but if that's your thing, you're probably not even reading this, as there are hundreds of guitars specifically for that type of style.

This is just a damn good guitar!!!
