Drew I would take that guitar to someone and get it properly set up. I know it sounds expensive to spend R500.00 odd bucks on a pro setup BUT it will play better and sound better. I think those cort's are fantastic value for money in fact let me know hen you are tired of it and I will take it off your hands. The Cort guitars bat about 5 divisions above their weight division.
Quote " Cort’s main production focus is not on Cort-brand guitars, but rather on contract work for numerous other companies. Generally, large companies contract Cort to build lower-priced guitars that have that company’s brand on them. Ibanez, Parkwood, Squier, G&L Tribute series line of guitars are among the most well-known brands that Cort produces. In recent years, small companies known for extremely high quality (and high-priced) guitars have begun contracting Cort to produce budget line models. Avalon, based out of Northern Ireland, sold 8,000 guitars and more than doubled their income from the previous year when they contracted Cort to build a lower-priced guitar for them. "
