“I bought the Cort G250 on an impulse after buying a...”

written by darrent79 on 26/05/2007

Good Points
Strat style, S/S/H setup, 1 Volume, 1 Tone (with coil tap), 5 way selector, Wilkinson Trem, Mightymite pickups. Mine is in a very nice "Trans Red" colour, and the finish is flawless.

The action is superb, much better in my opinion than the Squier Strat & Pacifica's i'd looked at previously, I immediately felt "at home" with this guitar. Had some slight crackle on the volume knob & Pickup selector but that was soon sorted out with a bit of TLC.

Bad Points
Only slight problem is the roller nut tends to make a little "click" noise when i'm pushing up the D string low down, I think its the roller just sliding up and making contact with the roller above, no big deal really but still its enough to bug me a bit.

General Comments
I bought the Cort G250 on an impulse after buying a Yamaha 'starter kit' for my teenage son, and having not touched a guitar since the mid-80s. It was bought for fun, and in the three days I've had it, has not disappointed. I went into the shop intent on a Tele or Strat, but after trying this I went online and bought it with the best price I have found. I was really convinced of its quality and value for money. To me, it is much better than Mexican Fender guitars and it sound much more powerful than any other guitar I have tested in this price range. And I got a great deal with Gig bag, Tuner, Lead, & Spare strings thrown in. These guitars are far expensive outside but I bought mine for £238 from time2get.com. One of my best deals ever.
