Cort X-2 Review

History:

Purchase: I got this guitar from a local music store called BandBox in a guitar/amp deal for $350.00 with a Kustom KGB-30 amp. On it's own, the guitar is worth $240.00. By the way, the KGB-30 is a great amplifier.

What I Like About This Unit: I love practically everything about this guitar. The shape, the color, the hardware, the pickups, the tuners, the neck, everything.

What I Do NOT Like About The Cort X-2: The only problem I've ever had with this wonderful guitar is that the jack keeps coming loose, though all I have to do is reach down and tighten it with my hand and that will last several days

X-2 Quality: I'm 14 and I have been playing since I was 10. This is my second guitar. My first was a Squier Affinity Strat, which is a rad guitar to start out on. I thought, since I had outgrown the beginner phase, that I could use a new one, so I got this and I wasn't dissapointed. I got it in Red Metal, which I think is the sexiest color. It has fantastic tuners, which which stay in tune for many, many hours, the PowerSound humbuckers have a cheap- sounding name but possess awesome tone. Shortly after I bought this, the Tom Delonge Signature Strat came out. Blink-182 has been my favorite band since, like, 1994 so, naturally, I wanted. I didn't have enough money so I settled for just buying the Invader pickup and having my old bridge humbucker replaced. I found that the PowerSound pickups have almost the same exact tone as the Invader, but the Invader has a little more low end and more sustain, so it wasn't quite necesary to have that put in.

Summary: This a great guitar for such a low price. Wether you play heavy metal, punk rock, emo, pop punk, rock & roll(all of which I play) and are not satisfied with your current guitar, then this is an awesome deal without having to pay several thousand dollars. GO BUY IT, GOD DAMNIT!
