Cort X-500 Menace Grey Satin Reviews

Great Metal Axe with minor flaws

My first guitar was a Cort and it held up very well for more than 10 years so wanted to give Cort another shot with their newer models.

Pros:

- Finishing is fantastic no issues noticed at all.

- neck through construction is very comfortable and you can rarely find this feature on another guitar for this price.

- Fretboard is nicely constructed and has no issues too.

- Pickups sound great for both metal and cleans.

Cons:

- Upon receiving the guitar I sat it up as much as I could but it still had some issues with the action being so high with very annoying fret buzz when adjusting the truss rod.. I had to send it to a guitar tech and pay extra as frets needed leveling on some spots and the nut was high too, with all of that out of the way the guitar is now playing flawlessly.

- I wish the fretboard has inlays.

Overall the guitar is great for its price but I hoped the fretboard wasn't having all those issues.
