@@MrPolevaulter whenever I plays few chords it gets out of tune since one of my friend tighten or loosen screws on the bridge. I stopped playing it don't know how to make it work and action is very high. If I tries to lower the action it gets buzzing.
I love people who crap on Cort but own pretty much any import guitar besides PRS and knock them.Cort basically makes 70% or more of import guitars(for us in the U.S) for manufacturers that are in their hands and they have no idea.
The older G250 is made in Korea and has Wilkinson Bridge also different tuners and mighty might pickups I think there were a little bit better if I remember rightly
Got to say these guys really do make excellent value guitars. I switched out the stock hum bucker and added a graph tech nut and it plays better than a lot of other guitars three or four times the price. Top value and the neck😮
Great review again. Cort seem to be making some really good stuff, and like you say, why wouldn't they when you look at the long list of branded clients they already make guitars for
I scored this one for 100,-EUR second hand, and since I never came back to my Affinity Strat. The G260 may be even nicer, but the G280 in Amber finish seems promising!
@@atlejohnnyrygg7124 yes, great value I like the tone of pickups, the ergonomic shape is little od for me but great value specialy at this price of used one
@@LookieChannel Thanks for the input, but it sold before I got around to buy it myself. The problem with hidden gems that pop up now and then at low prices is that it's hard to know if they actually are gems and not trash. Reliable information is hard to find online as they are not as popular/common as Squiers and Fenders.
That G260CS of mine has the same Cort two-point trem. I’ve done a little nut-slot widening to accommodate the 10’s but not polished or lubed the slots yet. I’m finding that the tuning is holding better with the trem floating parallel to the body. I also fitted the third spring to match the 10s.
I like the shape and colour of the guitar, I just prefer the fender head stock, a luthier told me that squier are made by cort in asia, I didn't verify that
Min 10:05 Awesome!!!... Like... Dear Sir Karjalainen, between the *Ibanez 260FM* , the *Pacifica 112J* (no V, J) and the *Cort G260* ... All tested by you, I've seen, which one is the most suitable in terms of sound quality?
Do you think this is better than the Squier Sonic HSS (in terms of sound and build quality)? I live in a provincial area (not in the US) so there are no guitar shops for me to go out and try these in person - a rough comparison would be great!
Greetings elmo, i've seen your videos with yamaha pasifica 112, for your side wich one you prefer as beginner guitar as iam, the pasifica or cort g250?
01:10, Forgive my curiosity, but it seems string alignment is a little bit shoddy on this one! I believe it is the bridge position that is incorrect and it should have been moved further towards the bass side. It would make a good mod platform, though. Upgrading the bridge, the nut and some mid range locking tuners and maybe some new pickups and it will give some 2000 dollar Fender a run for their money!
@@MrPolevaulter That's testament to how good a guitar player you are! While we sit here obsessed with manufacturing flaws and setup issues. I've seen a few Cort guitars in person recently (G250, G260 & ...) and none of them had this kind of issue...
Great review as always. I was expecting the poor thing would pop out a white flag when the whammy was going full speed :) Please go "up" in the cort line, I'm really curious to see what you think of the 280, 290 fat and 300 if possible. On the other hand, have you ever tried the Michael kelly guitars? They look amazing and it seems that are great on both, price and sound. Take care!
Brother please can you compare it with harley benton s620 rock series Im looking forward to buy one of them..... In India i can buy harley benton guitar bundle which comes with amp and other accessories for 320dollars And cort g250 i can buy from the shop is 250 dollars something and if the cort is better i want to buy that from the direct shop by avoiding from online delivery Can you just help me choose which one is better when it comes to sound and playing rock ,metal , blues and clean tones And the playbility of the both guitars and also the tremolo system which will be better??? Bro please only you can help me🥲🥹 or please compare it with cort and harley benton
Good Playing - Seems like you have a good one there. LEAD REST mentioned Wikipedia in his comment so I took a look. Interesting - CORT makes guitars sold under the Ibanez name. Also there was this regarding a labor protest: "On July 12, 2007 a Cort worker set himself on fire in protest, and on October 15, 2008 workers conducted a 30-day hunger strike and sit-in occupation on a 40-meter electricity tower." Company may not treat it's workers well. Looks like reason enough to stick with my kit guitar. Thanks for the video.
You should take a look at the Vintage V6 Reissued. QC can be hit or miss, but can be good guitars if you are lucky or can fix potential issues. I had one with a lot of issues that I corrected, never bonded with it because of that so I sold it, but it was a decent guitar after i fixed it.
Would be interesting to see how you like the Vintage compared to the Squier Classic Vibe as the Vintage is priced slightly lower and the specs are good.
I think that your studio has a quantum singularity misalignment, you were time warping. Pups sounded good, looks good, like that gold finish! The G250 is $450 in Canada, right between Affinity and Classic Vibe / Contemporary. Can't find G260 here.
In the review of the yamaha pacifica 112vm you mentioned that the mast was a little thicker and you didn't like it that much, I don't know if it became uncomfortable? And with the cort g250, I don't know how the mast feels? comfort for me is the most important thing in this price range. sorry for my english is from google translate xd

With my go to Schecter I have the same stripes/grains in the fretboard and after five years of cleaning and playing they accumulated a lot of dirt. I actually don't manage to clean them properly despite my best efforts. I would never again go for a guitar which has these stripes on the fretboard. Doesn't affect the playing per se but it looks not nice when they are filled with a light greasy stuff...
Hi..E, Wikipedia says->budget guitar, less than $200 euro/dollars,can be found in trash/fixed,easy to give away if wanted, could be stole, something you don't want to cry/fight for to keep!! That's a $500+ new guitar,not a budget guitar,it also said Darryl get a job, haa
Looks a really nice guitar! I wonder if the g100 would be good ones too.. Dont know if you already did but you gotta give vintage v6 strats a go everyone says that are really good guitars. Cheers!
@@MrPolevaulter check out a video with Beth Hart live with Nickols John i belive who plays a v6 on albert hall song called your heart is black as night and caught out in the rain.
I have a G100 and love it. Top loader fixed bridge, slim body, open pore finish, the most comfortable guitar I ever had, but you will have to do a full fret job on it to be a perfectly playable guitar, leveling, crowning, polishing, round the ends, round the fretboard edge.
@@MrPolevaulter that is the problem here. We don't get a lot of options in the shops. I am sure this guitar will not be at the shop. I am thinking of buying squier affinity starcaster. It will be in the shop.
maybe it sounds fine and plays nice, but I find it sooo ugly, it´s like a drunken strat , I would never use it , actually , I've never seen a Cort that I like , I guess it is just my personal taste .
Thats perfectly normal. We're so much accustomed to the design and looks of the fender strat from the early days and many legendary artist used them. But if some well known players start using these brands like cort etc, its highly likely we would start to love them😏
