Cort CL-200

i paid sing $270. its basically a les paul copy, mahogany body n neck -bolt jointed, easily accessible. H-H setup. pickups r powersounds. mines in a transparent blue. looks cool, but id rather have a black one. brige is a chrome stoptail combo. neck radius 15" -my optimum. its got 22 frets. passive elecs. the 2 pots r good but the 3-way swtich needs alittle more care. dont even try to flip the switch while head bangin. its a great value for money. i recommend for beginners. intermediates would probably want to change the pickups. its made in indonesia though (asia version)

i play metal hard rock, sometimes classical. this axe works well for metal. its got warm mids n punchy bass. i dont really like its treble though. sound dull -not as bright as the les paul standard itself. the neck humbucker is abit too muddy depending on how high u turn its volume up. but i guess its ok if u put it thru max distortion or something like Boss Metalzone. i'd be changing the pickups real soon.

i bought with the pick ups set up to more treble. the pickup was slanted nearer at the higher registers too. i love the neck. its super fast. finished like the body though. it has a great finish. n it looks great with the chrome tuners and stoptail combo bridge. i opened the electronics compartment the moment i got my hands on it. the wirings' ok. properly soldered.

never used this one live before. so far no problems with anything.

this is singapore. our support is limited to all those high-end guitars. but the place where i got it from offers repairs n maintainence shoud i have any problem.

its is a really good guitar for beginers. low cost n yet enough to learn tonnes from. i'd compare this to the squier strat/tele. this axe would had been better than those two if not for the pickups. but i guess u could always change them. i recommend this if u play metal, rock, jazz and have a freakin' tight budget.
