Cort G250

You can see most of the features from the reviews below, but I would like to mention a couple of things. It has a roller nut so that the tuning is much more stable with the wammy bar. Also the version that I have has the Fishmann Wilkenson bridge with the piezo pickup which you can blend with the magnetic pickups, or use by itself. Also the pickups are Mightymite which are much better then most generic crap pickups in low end guitars.

It sounds like a strat should, and the Piezo sounds are good enough to not need an acoustic guitar at gigs. There was some noise when I first got it, but since then I have re-wired it using the directions at guitarnuts.com I had to modify the directions for the extra wires that I have but it quieted it right down. Great for blues, and rock. Very full sound, Like a good strat, but I like it better than any strat that I have ever played.

Everything was on par with guitars that cost over a grand. There was only one adjustment that I had to make which was the bridge was not fully radiused with the fretboard. It was only off by a little bit, but I can be verry picky. There was also very little sawdust in the control cavities when I had it taken apart to re-wire it. This is rare for an overseas guitar. The sunburt finish is as good as the one on my DeArmond M-75 which cost more than twice as mutch. Also I do get the clicking sound when bending the D string, but that is just the roller on the nut moving a bit, but you can't hear it through an amp so it is only a minor anoyance, not a major thing at all. Also the satin finish on the neck is a nice tough, it gives it a good feel.

I always bring at least two guitars to a gig, but that is just to get different sounds, but this guitar stays in tune well, and I would trust it as a primary guitar, Also it is light enough to have on for a full gig. But I need the two humbucker sound as well so I bring a guitar with two humbuckers as well. The fact that Cort uses a genuine Wilkinson bridge, and on mine a Fishmann bridge says alot about the quality hardware on this guitar.

I have never delt with them, and I voided my warranty by re-wiring the guitar, but I am not expecting any problems.

I have been playing for about six years, and I have six guitars, including a DeArmond M-75, Washburn WI-64PLAB (With carvin H22 pickups), A Dillion DR-500S (With a duncan 59 in the neck, a PRS Dragon 2 in the bridge), A Garnet SG copy, and a Washburn D2003S acoustic. This guitar is my only one with single coils, and it looks and sounds great. It is was stolen I would track the guy who stole it down, and beat him with my DeArmond (It weighs about as much as a Les Paul Standard) and take it back. Seriously this guitar is a keeper, and I got a great deal on it they had the wrong price on it.

As stated above, Strat style, S/S/H setup, 1 Volume, 1 Tone (with coil tap), 5 way selector, Wilkinson Trem, Mightymite pickups. Mine is in a very nice "Trans Red" colour, and the finish is flawless. And I got a great deal with Gig bag, Tuner, Lead, & Spare strings thrown in! :)

This guitar suits my style of play exactly, nice rich strat sounds, for general stuff and the benefit of the coil tap for when I want to make it scream, In my opinion a great all rounder :)

The action is superb, much better in my opinion than the Squier Strat & Pacifica's i'd looked at previously, I immediately felt "at home" with this guitar. Had some slight crackle on the Volume knob & Pickup selector but that was soon sorted out with a bit of TLC

Only slight problem is the roller nut tends to make a little "click" noise when i'm pushing up the D string low down, I think its the roller just sliding up and making contact with the roller above, no big deal really but still its enough to bug me a bit, so i'm giving it a 9 for that otherwise it would be a 10!

Well finished, well built, feels a very solid piece of kit, for everything I play its more than adequate, cant really say if i'd use it at a gig without a backup, coz I dont intend on playing any gigs! ;) But it is certainly as well built as some guitars that cost twice as much, so if I were gigging then i'd have no probs using it I guess

Erm, had no cause to get in touch with customer support, not had it that long to expect any problems

Like I said above, i'd taken a 5 year break from playing due to injury, but I cant remember every being as happy with a guitar as I am with this little beauty, for the price it beats the pants of anything else in that range, and it also puts some other guitars that are twice the price to shame aswell.... other manufacturers TAKE NOTE!

MAde in 2001 I assume I never really checked
it was made in Indonesia but made by Cort itself not prepackaged and shipped they have their own factory down there I hear
volume, treble/bass controls + 5 way selector and whammy bar
three pickups real nice tone from low end upper end is lackin just a little in tone
basswoodneck I hear Eddi Van halen loves this stuff for it's sound as it ages
strat style
thin neck i got lots of free stuff included too which was great
more stuff i don't have time to get into detail about read another review

suits my musical style perfectly, sounds good for punk, punkrock and even country , don't know about other stuff though
it's got some buzz on the strings not a brigh enough sound i find
rich though
very varied sounds i'm using a Marshall Valvestate II series 100w amp and i'm impressed overall with the sound

the action was too low for me but i play hard
no flaws on my guitar, though it was left handed and sat in a shop for a while so it was dusty not many people willing to invest in a relatively unknown make especially left-handed but it was a great investment,,, nice quality wood, GREAT sunburst finish, makes it look like a higher quality guitar than it is, not that it's bad of course
nothing to write home about with flaws

great for live, great for studio
finish seems like it's lasting
strap buttons seem badly designed unfortunately for all other things on this guitar are great. strap would fall off even on occasion, so umm look into this before you buy
i wouldn't ever use any guitar on a gig without a backup unless i was broke and had to sell my backup guitar lol

warranty is two years if i'm not mistaken but i never took a great look at the warranty but that was store and not company which is odd i find. anyways i never had problems i've had it for 6 months never problem except the strap button placement

I switched from an old beat up Yamaha acoustic and never played another electric except this one. But I'm impressed so much I'm sticking with Cort

a fast satin-finiahed hard rock maple neck and a hum-sing-sing pickup combination with coil tap Basswood body
25.5" maple neck
Mightymite pickups
Wilkinson VS50II Tremolo

try it with fender twin reverb and you are ready for blues rock jazz(not for heavy metal) but for hard rock too

action was little too high but that depends on you personal style beautiful color and deatils up to higher level fenders.liitle noisy pickups but what dont buzz a little doesn't sound good

plays great for now no problems at all yes you can depend on this guitar morre than a cheapo U.S fenders but i would never use any guitar without backup .if i had to buy just hardware on this guitar it would have costed me way more (highest quality).bass wood (maybe some will be sceptic about bass wood body but just read van halen reviews of his gear)
notto manypeople know that basswood is going to age better than spruce and mahagony and the sound will get amazing way sooner than with the other woods .

heavent had any problems yet

ok i wannted to buy a fender for around 1000$ but this guitar is more than just a entry level fenders(i am talking abou u.s made fenders)
i have been playing blues and hard rock for 10+ years and i've come across so many fender guitars and still own one but this is the ultimate guitar my fender is sitting and resting in case sinca i bought cort g250
