Mitchell's guitar

Talking to Sir Mitchell on Twitter it appears he uses them straight out of the box too! No trem mods or anything!

I'm building a parts-o-caster at the moment but might have to look at one for a backup!

Quote from: "catherine"Earlier this year I bought a guitar for my younger son. This involved much time spent in guitar shops. He tried a variety of guitars and it came down in the end to a choice between a Cort - I can't remember the model, but it had no scratchplate and a metallic grey finish - I think it was probably this one:

and a Yamaha Pacifica flame maple top. The Yamaha Pacifica won, narrowly, as he preferred the pickups on it, and it was also going for a very good price, but I was very impressed with the Cort.

This is what the boy has now:

and it's sounding good.

I am not surprised to hear that the Yam Pacifica is sounding good. I have four, 112, 102S, 120 and a really beat up 112 I got from Ebay for £40 and leave at work for something to do at lunchtimes!

IMHO the only thing that is of, let's say, lower quality on these "budget" guitars is the electronics. I have upgraded the pickups and electronics on mine and now consider them to be equivalent to £600 plus axes.

Hey Cath, have you got a bit of a Partridge Family thing going there? Who else is in the band?

Sensible choice there Mikey: a man needs a big chopper.

And I deny absolutely having been made in a Cort factory.

Well I tried out a Cort, I think it was a G280 with seymour duncan pickups and a wilkinson trem - it was OK for the price but I felt it was quite brittle sounding and I didn't really warm to it . Didn't like the two string trees either, which don't help with the tuning, even if it does have locking tuners. I ended up buying a errr.... used Porsche Reed Smith instead. So much for me buying a nice cheap gigging guitar! Onwards to the rock blues covers band and the originals prog project....
