View Original Thread: Cort X-2, worth buying?

 
JweiH

Hi all. I have been playing acoustic guitar for quite some time, and has always been interested in electric guitar. This Cort x-2 Metallic Red guitar really caught my eyes, cause my favorite guitarist is using a red one too. So may i ask if this guitar is suitable for me?

Thanks in advance!

It looks OK, im guessing its a Chinese import and cost around £100-£150 price range? Basswood isn't the best tonewood for a body but its a hell of a lot better than some of the rubbish they use.
Bolt on neck is OK, neck is Maple, excellent, 2 humbuckers.
It looks like a good learner guitar, an Ibanez rip-off, they look ok, and will be a good electric guitar for a beginer.
Make sure you check out ebay, i bet there are a few small time dealers selling Corts on their.

I sound like a stuck record but here I go...

Buy second hand! You get a better guitar for your money, it doesn't have to 'settle in' and you should lose very little in depreciation if you don't take to it....IMO, obviously. :)
