Cort X-700 Mutility Black

This was my first good guitar after upgrading from a beginner guitar, and I am astounded with the quality. The neck is thin and comfortable coming from an ibanez. The pickups sound astounding, but I do wish that mine had come with some sort of guide indicating which push/pull + position meant what. However, it sounds amazing, and can easily do more than just high output metal.

While I had been somewhat afraid of an adjustment to a multiscale guitar, I really can't say that I found any sort of adjustment issues after 20 minutes.

One minor annoyance I have with it is the locking input jack. That thing is stable, but as a bedroom guitarist, I find it more a nuisance than a benefit. Ultimately this is a small gripe, but still ought to be mentioned.

Give Cort a try if you're on the fence.
