Cort G Series Electric Guitar For Sale (2023 Update)

Good quality for the price and a good entry level guitar. I think that £50 or £60 would have gotten me a much more solid instrument (not that I’m saying the Cort is poor) but I only needed something to start. Would definitely recommend.Doug

I played guitar on an off thru life. Picked it up seriously for last 4 5 yrs. My passion is actually working on them 😃.🎸Roy

A well made guitar but only really suited to one style of playing. This is the third guitar I have bought from Richards in the last 12 months and have visited the shop twice in that time. I totally get where he is coming from an the service has always been good. This guitar how ever I bought in the summer sale blind as it were. The price was very good for the spec. I just thought it might be more versatile and in my opinion it's not. Plays well for rock/metal stuff.peter m.

Great guitar set up perfectly out of factory. Only one thing that bugs me is where the Veneer connects in the middle is not perfectly in the middle. Which is a bit annoying because other reviews don't have this. Other than that its absolutely perfect guitar. Normally can't get this type of quality for this price. Absolute bargain.Matthew

What a great guitar! Looks, plays and sounds great. Had to do a bit of home setup when it arrived; bad fret buzz on the low e and a strings around the 5th fret, but easily fixed by putting a bit more relief in the neck and half a turn of the saddles. Without trying one straight from the supplier it’s hard to compare the value of a ‘Richards setup’ but seeing as it’s ‘gratis’ it’s not going to be a bad thing. Overall I’m very pleased.Robin D.

If you're a fan of Muse and Matt Bellamy like I am, this guitar is exactly what you want from a Manson for less than half the price of a true Manson. Without even plugging the guitar in, you can feel the resonance and tone the guitar has right from the start. The neck's slim profile makes for extremely good playability, especially in the upper ranges of the neck. In terms of plugging in, the humbucker pickup has amazing power behind it, combined with the great tone from the single coil neck pickup to produce amazing tone. Without even changing the settings on your amp, you can switch from a clean sound from the single coil to a slightly distorted rocky feel with the humbucker. The middle setting has a perfect blend between the two, combining the humbucker's power with the single's cleanliness to get an awesome tone overall. One thing to note is that this guitar has passive pickups, not active like the site tells. The kill button is perfectly placed in a manner that allows ease of use in the middle of playing. The button itself doesn't feel cheap. It feels more like an xbox controller button, meant to take a lot of use. The one complaint about the button is that it does make an audible sound when used on a clean setting, but this is very minor considering you most likely wont be using it on a clean setting. In terms of a Muse standpoint, striking behind the nut gives you exactly the same sound as Bellamy does live, for songs like Time is Running Out and Reapers. The humbucker produces the heavier tones for songs like The Handler almost to perfection, and handles more groovy songs like Exo-politics just as well. I always switch between calling this guitar a Cort and a Manson, because it really does play just like a MansonCCMuser

First off the tone of this thing is just amazing. If you're looking for a really good Rock guitar, this is it. The neck is also just smooth as hell. And this thing can surely take a beating.Erik

I took a chance on this one, 35 years xp. I saw an ad in Prog Magazine about this guitar. Basically, it was advertising that this was Cort's attempt at making a guitar similar to other sort-of boutique guitars, Ibanez AZ. I must say, I LOVE this guitar, it is the best!Justin

This guitar only needed tuning up as the intonation was perfect straight out of the box. Sounds great and the Iron Oxide finish looks cool too.Reviewed by Kenny's Music custom

Ár/érték arányban teljesen jó. Kényelmes rajta játszani, elég mélyre le lehet ültetni a húrokat zörgés nélkül, és érződik, hogy nem gagyi anyagokból van. Ennyi pénzért tökéletes. Ebben az árkategóriában nagyon márkás hangszert nem érdemes vásárolni, mert feltehetőleg rosszabb lesz, mint a Cort.Olivér

I decided to try a Cort guitar for a change and I certainly was not disappointed. I was very surprised at the quality and playability. It sounds great and looks beautiful too. I will definitely buy from Rguitars again as the guitar arrived ready set up, they do this with every guitar they sell. Rguitars easy to contact also. Thank you Richard. ☺️Lynn S.

Great guitar, very easy to play with fast action and great sound. It has a good solid feel to it and looks great too. I ordered it from Kenny's music as they had it on sale and I have hardly stopped playing it since it arrived.Reviewed by Kenny's Music custom

I really like the headstock shape and angle on this guitar, it stays in tune better than others. It came with a set of really crunchy pickups they were fine just not my style. I replaced them with a set of Lace Alumitone's, man do they sound good. I got it for a reasonable price so I don't mind doing any upgrades as these were low budget anyways.electronwraith

I bought a Cort CR250 but you sent a Cort CR50 instead. Then I had mailed at least 5-6 times and got no replies. I called numerous times and every time it said all executives are busy. Then after I added a post in FB you guys called. You couldn't arrange for a pick-up of the incorrect delivery (i.e, Cort CR50). You said you wouldn't send the guitar i ordered till you receive the Cort CR50. Then you asked me to carry that 8 kg guitar and send it to you for which you will reimburse the amount. I did that, more than 2 weeks back, and I am still waiting for the reimbursement.Manaswi A.

I chose this guitar following advice from Richard and it is absolutely ideal for my young son. Very light and really well set up for such a budget guitar. My second guitar from Richard and I’m very pleased with it.Dave H.

Richard's Guitars are a real pleasure to deal with. Took a punt on this Cort after seeing a couple of online reviews and it does not disappoint. The set up from Richard's Guitars was far better than my Ibanez AZ Prestige which cost twice the price. Will not hesitate to use again.Simon T.

great build, love the neck[roasted maple], pick/ups are awesome, [seymour duncans],stainless steel frets , lots of high end quality in this model very light weight , balance is great, no neck hanging when playing sitting down , well worth the money 5 stars from me,,james rayeray j.

I received great service and advice talking to the team about the best guitar to buy. Great service and communications regarding status of order and the guitar was wonderfully packed when it was delivered. This is a Christmas gift so hasn't been played yet, but know recipient will be thrilledDeborah T.

I ordered on 1st august,2015 but still to receive it. Fed up with it.. Moreover you cannot even give a low star review… They delete it..Pratas H.

I actually purchased a mid range Taylor but it just wasn't the one. After playing several more Taylor and Martin I just happened to see this and loved the look, and the fact that it had a beveled arm rest prompting me to stop and try it….. 20 minutes later I was purchasing it. The sound is great, think Taylor but with more bass and clarity. I couldn't believe that I returned a Taylor for a Cort but I just love this guitar! Try it, you'll see quickly what I'm talking about.Mike

Auf der Suche nach einer bezahlbaren Grand Auditorium diese bestellt… Die Rezessionen bei anderen Musikhäusern waren viel versprechend. Die Gitarre kam 3 Tage nach Bestellung bei mir sicher verpackt an. Verpackung entfernt und dann das Teil erst einmal begutachtet. Optik (immer eine Geschmacksfrage) für mich sehr gut. Das Abalone Binding, die Schallochrosette und das Muster der Gitarrenrückseite machen richtig was her. Ins Detail geschaut waren leider am Übergang vom Hals zum Korpus leichte, aber hässliche Klebstoffreste vorhanden, Die ließen sich aber mit einem entsprechenden Mittel halbwegs gut entfernen. Ein Blick auf die Saitenlage und ich war erstaunt. Die hätte mancher Stratocaster zur Ehre gereicht. Also, die Gitarre gestimmt und gespielt. Bei nur halbwegs hartem Anschlag oder Picking schepperte und schnarrte es ohne Ende. Nach ca. 15 Minuten Spielen waren meine Fingerkuppen rabenschwarz, das Griffbrett und die Saiten waren völlig verdreckt. Bundstäbchen waren sauber eingesetzt, an den Enden leicht scharfkantig, aber akzeptabel. Das wäre alles eigentlich ein Grund gewesen, die Gitarre zurückzuschicken, aber der Grundsound schien mir aber eigentlich recht gut. Also Saiten runter, Griffbrett gereinigt und geölt, neue Saiten drauf und die Halskrümmung mit dem beiliegenden Werkzeug angepasst. Fazit: Die Gitarre ist immer noch großartig zu bespielen, vor allem ist das Halsprofil voll meins. Wenn nichts mehr schnarrt klingt sie sehr schön (eher Mitten und Höhen orientiert), hat aber natürlich nicht den Punch einer Dreadnought. Also nach all den Anpassungen eine durchaus schöne, gut klingende und hervorragend bespielbare Western. Aber muss man das alles selber machen, was ist das für eine Endkontrolle vor Auslieferung des Instruments, auch wenn es "nur" eine 500 Euro Gitarre ist? Pickup ist brauchbar, aber keinesfalls mit einem Fishman System oder dem einer Ovation vergleichbar. Es verstärkt und gibt den natürlichen Ton ganz gut wieder, aber mehr auch nicht. Der Lautstärkenregler reagiert sehr unsensibel, ein bisschen zu viel dran gedreht und alles ist viel zu laut. Der Tonregler regelt den Ton von dumpf bis nicht ganz so dumpf…, für besseren Sound muss halt der Verstärker ran. Auch wenn vieles an der Gitarre (zumindest bei meiner) im Auslieferungszustand nicht perfekt war, ist sie nach entsprechender Bearbeitung ein echt geiles und vor allem sehr gut bespielbares Instrument. Da ich sie vorwiegend unplugged spiele sind die Schwächen des Pickup Systems für mich nicht so wichtig und wenn doch bügelt das mein Amp aus. Alles in allem, trotz einiger Schwächen und mangelhafter Endkontrolle Daumen hoch für diese Gitarre!!!Jürgen

Great looking guitar and sounds great too, just wonder if the action further up the neck at 12th fret could be lower but maybe that would cause other problems like string buzz – I’m not an expert. Action at nut end is nice and low though.Alistair K.

I picked up this guitar today. It came wrapped in bubble wrap so I'm guessing it was a floor model . But the issue with it is there is maybe a paper width distance from the strings to the frets. Also the neck was out of adjustment . This was supposed to be an anniversary gift and it sounds awful.. extremely disappointed.Jesse

I play this every time I get the chance too. The tone is perfect to my ears, really bright and also has some bass to it too, not as much as other guitars but it does the job. The color way is just beautiful and the way it was built well it just feels like butter!!!! The frets are good no sharpness, the only issue I have with it that the action is a little high for me but a simple fix can make this guitar perfect!!!!! 10/10 I recommend if you're thinking of getting a Cort guitar they're amazingJorge
