Well, I bought myself a Cort EVL X4 First off, I saw one in a guitar shop on a vacation not long ago and I thought it was awesome looking.. It's rad; A bit rough cut body and a cool matte finish. If it was a car then it would be a new model in old school lines I don't know it just reminds me of a stealth airplane with the edges and matte paint ? (And stealth airplanes are inevitably awesome/cool/rad in my opinion ) I tried it out several times while there and I really liked it .. But I didn't want to buy it in a country far away from home (Especially not a demo one).. When I came home I researched it a bit, and found only one place in Denmark that had it, and it was the last one in stock... After I read the review on it in here (One of the few reviews to be found actually, Thank you Jakub Luptovec ), and got the whole concept of humbuckers explained so I knew what I got Then I was certain I had to own it .. I ordered it just before taking off to Roskilde Festival so it would arrive when I was there.. And today it landed at my doorstep and I love it Of course, I baptized it by tuning it in, and playing a few distorted powerchords with Glenn Tiptons pick Hell yeah! (I can say hell in here right? If not, forgive me, but I had to) I'll just post the online "standard" picture, and then a funny one I took with the guitar when it got here I don't expect you to take me seriously here hehe, I can't myself Just an attempt to look rad and show off the axe at the same time. By the way I've read in here that new guitars come with cheap strings from factory, and they should be replaced soon off because of the lazy quality.. But since im a beginner, I thought I could just use them a bit, and swap them for D'addario in a small while .. What do you think guys? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The two of you really look good on each other Changing strings would be a good idea, I use Blue Steel 9-42 from Dean Markley, they are brilliant! But I mostley play blues, so if your more metal, you might wanna go for something else Du kan altid få masser af strenge for gode priser hos musikhuset Aage, der køber jeg alt mit You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
