Great review, i remember seeing these in some local store, never knew anything about them, now i know they are worth the buy wink.gif
Owen
I think they sell these new for £200 now, but if you want the fancy looking version its £300 for the sharktooth inlays and the red overcoat.

As I said before, played this and it felt buzzy - neck looked v. straight though, I think the setup may have just been poor.

Never knew the FR was an official though, I'd have assumed it was just a licensed?

yeah these definatly need setting up before playing. I was lucky in that mine had already been done by a technician, so I got a nice low action and zero frut buzz smile.gif

The most logical thing would be that it's retrofitted...

yes I think this one I have has had some new parts fitted. Im pretty sure the pickups are not orignal either! smile.gif
Owen
That would explain how its retained its original price in this case smile.gif

All in all, even brand new its still a bargain in my eyes.

Still cant wait for my Prestige though! biggrin.gif

Nice review there Matt, this guitar looks fine for metal playing. I guess it is versatile with those HSH pickups. You can change the pickups maybe something like a SD JB&59 classic combo and some fender in the middle and you got yourself a great axe in many years to come.smile.gif ROck on!

Totally agree with you Matt.

Im playing my Cort X-6 for 1 year now and im still impressed with its performance.
Some people told me to buy a more expensive guitar but i dont want to.
My Cort gives me al the pleasure and different styles i need.
Especially semi acoustic and full throttle distortion on the humbuckers.

Good review, I didn't know about coil taps!, seems like this guitar has an excellent quality/price ratio.

great review, i personally dont like the white dots on the upper side ..

Nice review and nice guitar man! Congrats on buying it.

I think the H S H gives a lot of options, and becasuse the possibility to make the humbuckers singlecoils makes even more posibilities. One thing, isn't the plug in the way? It's at your bridge, I can imagine you hit it when palmmuting or something like that.

Overall looks very neat and I like the pickups!!
