OMG huge fart at 1:23......and also the Switch pickup selector is indeed high end, they made a teardown of the guitar on another video.....the Pots are small Alphas though.
What did you think about the neck of this guitar? Is this "ergo-V neck" comfortable to play? The G300 has been on my radar for a while now, but I can't find any place near me that has this model for me to go and try it. It really seems to be a solid choice regarding its specs/price ratio, though.
It's been a while since I've had this guitar. It didn't stay in my collection long. I don't recall anything special about the neck, good or bad, that really stood out.
The Sire definitely has a more traditional feel, in pickups, fretboard, etc. I also found the Sire's body shape more comfortable. You get a little more features on the Cort, like stainless steel frets. I think fit and finish on the two were about the same. Personally, I preferred the Sire.
Volume drop on 2nd and 4th position? What did you expect from two single coils in parallel, that gives the lowest output, can’t compare to a humbucker which is two single coils in series. Parallel will result in lower resistance than your lowest output coil, if they are same value then it is exactly half, series adds both singles.
@@davlavmusic7070 I have a G290 FAT and that volume drop is the only thing I was disappointed with. I'm fully aware of the reasons pointed out by the above post (which merely stated the obvious in an unnecessarily harsh manner), but I don't think it's beyond the wit of man, when offering a guitar with this facility, to build in some sort of electronic compensation (I'm not an expert on the inner gubbins) to equalise the volumes. I play in a covers band I was looking to buy a guitar that I could switch rapidly - midsong if necessary - between a single coil and a humbucker sound, and have whammy bar available on both, but the G290 didn't quite fulfil that need, albeit in all other respects it is a very well made guitar and I enjoy playing it. Thanks for this demo, you covered all the bases and I enjoyed your playing!
Not really - I'm not a big user of the tremolo in general. And I ended up selling off the Cort after a few months. Got a Schecter Van Nuys that I prefer quite a bit.
I've got my eye out but not sure when it will be available. Right now I've got my eye on the Sire T7, Ibanez Q (headless), the Schecter Van Nuys Traditional, and the Yamaha. But I'll likely be selling this Cort first. :-P
@@davlavmusic7070 Did you buy the Sire S7 direct -- or from Sweetwater? I was wondering how they handled what I assume was a return. I've been debating between the S7, the Yamaha 612, and a Sterling Cutlass CT50.
@@davidmac8081 I bought from Sweetwater. I had tried the H7 direct from Sire. In both cases I returned them due to issues. Both companies were cool about it. The Sterling is another guitar I've been thinking about as well. Let me know if you get your hands on any of those - I'm interested to hear about them.
1:23 fart sound
thought we didn't notice but we did.
I don't recall letting one rip while filing this, but it certainly sounds that way. lol
Genuine lol
How would you not notice it, talk about a digital footprint 😂 Thanks for the video tho ❤
procurei um vídeo assim por dias e hoje achei..me tirou todas as dúvidas q tinha 🗿 obrigado 🇧🇷
Nice Sound
The tunning issues are caused by the nut. With a bit of lubricant it goes away.

Hi.. You also had a review with Sire S7. I'm still in decision which one to take. Can you give thoughts about the two please.
The Sire definitely has a more traditional feel, in pickups, fretboard, etc. I also found the Sire's body shape more comfortable. You get a little more features on the Cort, like stainless steel frets. I think fit and finish on the two were about the same. Personally, I preferred the Sire.
I've seen comments elsewhere that there is an audible 60Hz hum in the single coil positions. Have you noticed that?
That's not something I've noticed. There is no pure single coil position - every position has at least two coils engaged.
@@davlavmusic7070 Thanks! The video was a great help to me.

Understood. I'm not saying it's a defect, just something I noticed and thought it was worth mentioning.

Did you manage to fix the tuning stability problems when using the tremolo? If yes, what did you do? Thanks, man!!
Not really - I'm not a big user of the tremolo in general. And I ended up selling off the Cort after a few months. Got a Schecter Van Nuys that I prefer quite a bit.
@@davlavmusic7070 Greetings to you!
What song have you been playing since 5:03?
TIA
@@orgelbaron That was just an original riff I working on at the time. It eventually became this song: ua-cam.com/video/PEt5X2I9bj8/v-deo.html
Will you review the Yamaha Pacifica 612?

Without softcase ?
No case was included.
The tremolo was sent ou too tune by the fart around 1:20 time stamp
