Still the best value electric guitar out there - by a long way! (Updated Sept. 2003)

Cort G-250 (Our Price £229 RRP £249)

Check out our past customer reviews on this awesome guitar for further peace of mind...

This guitar is in a league of its own. Until July 2001, the Yamaha Pacifica had been a long standing contender for the best £200 guitar that we sell. However, I will now take you through the reasons why this guitar is still head and shoulders above the other guitars around - 2 years after its launch.

It is rare to find a guitar at this price point which has a neck that is finished to the standard of this guitar. The neck is lacquered and finshed beautifully to create a lovely satin (not quite gloss) finish with that classic "aged" appearance. The machine heads are top quality (of the "small button" variety).

A roller nut on a guitar at £229 - You bet! Okay, we were as surprised as you are but that is why I am writing this page to tell you about it! Since taking this shot, Cort have made further improvements on the roller nut system that offer even greater tuning stability! The roller nut is something that you would normally expect to see on £800 strats and I certainly have never seen one on a guitar at £229.

Attention to detail doesn't stop there as the string guides (which apply the proper downward pressure necessary after the string goes over the nut) have a revolving barrel mechanism that prevents any friction between string and the guide. What does all this techno babble mean for you - Greatly improved tuning stability!

And then there are the "Mighty Mite" pickups and oh yes, I nearly forgot - A genuine Wilkinson Trem! Previously to this, the cheapest guitar I knew with a Wilkinson trem was the £500+ Yamaha Pacifica 512. Did I mention a genuine push/pull coil tap?- again, usally only found on guitars costing at least twice the price!

And what does it "feel" like? One word says it all - Class.

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what it looks like in full! The bottom line is that this is a pro guitar - no question. Not just a great upgrade from your first instrument but a real, proper pro piece of kit. Got the message?

I think that this guitar is the best at its price on the market today. If you disagree, I would love to hear from you - If you think I am wrong - tell me!
