Cort G 300 RAW Natural Satin

Considering its specs, this guitar is a great value.
After the initial setup and string change, it sounds great and is easy and comfortable to play.
Frankly, I did not expect the initial setup to require so much. Not only did I have to adjust the string action, intonation, and octaves, but I also had to adjust the tremolo springs and the loose jack connector. Everyone has different preferences, but there were also some manufacturing issues. For example, the nut was not perfectly aligned with the fretboard. There was also an overpaint of the satin coating on a few places on the neck where the mahogany neck and fretboard meet. Additionally, there was some extra glue from the fretwork on the 22nd fret. I had to cover those places with masking tape on the neck and fretboard. Then, I very gently sanded them with 1000-grit sandpaper to get rid of all these issues. Afterwards, I treated it with fretboard oil, and now it is perfect and as it should have been from the beginning. I did not want to return it because it is a great-sounding instrument overall.
Thomann partially compensated me for this, which I appreciate.

I bought it a few weeks ago due to a few features that caught my eye. First, I needed a guitar that allows me to play comfortably without risking any strain or injury. Despite having 24 frets, it doesn't feel oversized at all, which helps a lot if you don't have large hands. Second, the Seymour Duncan pickups: the 5-way switch offers an incredible tonal palette to play with. They are highly responsive and versatile enough for any genre, from jazz to metal. The sound is so distinct and dynamic compared to my other guitar with active pickups that I actually had to tweak my pedalboard settings—it completely opened up a whole new universe for me.
Naturally, when it arrives, you'll need to do a quick setup and adjust the action to your preference. Aside from its ergonomic size, I was surprised by how lightweight and perfectly balanced it is. The finish is beautiful, though that’s personal taste. I absolutely love the locking tuners; they save you from the mess of having excess strings hanging off the headstock like wild palm trees. The bridge responds beautifully, holding pitch excellently during pitch bends and dive bombs without tuning issues, so you can play without fear. Finally, the stainless steel frets make bendings incredibly expressive because they feel so smooth and slick.
For this price, you are getting a hidden gem among so many overrated brands. I’d say it easily stands ground against a €1200 Charvel. Blessings to everyone, if you decide to buy it, you definitely won't regret it!

This is a phenomenally good guitar for this price. It looks great, it plays great, it sounds great. It was pretty much ready to play out of the box, although I did find the 'two spring' trem a bit too sensitive for my liking, so I added the third spring that came with it, and adjusted the set up accordingly. Now, it's as good as any guitar I've ever owned (some nearly three times the price of this). I was interested to hear how the coil split positions sounded, and while it won't win in a blind test against a strat or a tele, they still sound reasonably close in comparison. There IS a volume loss, when you switch to the coil split positions, but stomping your preferred boost method, when you switch positions, will sort this. This guitar will sound good playing almost any style, although I probably wouldn't recommend it for modern metal tones, but if that's your thing, you're probably not even reading this, as there are hundreds of guitars specifically for that type of style.

This is just a damn good guitar!!!
