Cort MGM Opinions?

wirt

I've just been made an offer on a Cort MGM-1 and it's given me a serious case of the GAS. ☹

Reviews I've read and sound clips I've heard didn't help either. Has anyone here ever owned or played one? A bunch of folks on the 'net say it compares very favourably with a PRS.

Dangit, someone dissuade me!

For the record, I play mostly blues and rock-ish music.

EDIT: Pic!

A great guitar. ?

Depends on how good an offer...

wirt

Damnit, Alan! ?

Would you happen to know what a good price for one would be?

I knew I'd seen one somewhere during my classifieds trawling... nice looking guitar there.

wirt

Aye, that's the one...

That same guy sent me an email with the details, since I recently bought one of his pedals.

Well, there's your answer right there .... !!

Crap. I'm gonna sleep on it and hope the GAS subsides. But damn, she sure is purdy...

Nice looking axe that!

It's a great guitar for the money. I would hesitate to put it in the same class as a PRS though - more like the SE series, but with a higher bling factor.

I do have to say though, I'm not wild about the aesthetics.

One of my guitar instructors used to have one that he modded with some Dimarzios - Pretty killer guitar to be honest, if the price in question is anywhere R4k and below I'd say it's a great deal.

As resident Cort guy I say go for it..... ?

And then young wirt went to bed, and behold! When he awoke, the GAS hath subsided! And there was great merriment throughout his financial affairs.
