Cort: X-3 (conclusion)

So here they are; my Cort X-3 & Beta Aivin BM6 being best friends in the office. That's right, it's nothing fantastic to behold but some of the best value-for-money equipment I've acquired are seen above.

Cort: X-3 (Part 2)

One of the strap buttons is located at the X-3's upper cutaway bout. Any plus points for this difference? Not really, it gives the guitar a different feel upon strapping on which some of us might dislike because it moves the strap further away. On the other hand, it makes putting the strap over your head much easier.

This is perhaps the highlight of my entry; the X-3's fixed bridge features a tail end access. As such, the intonation adjustments screw are located above the string entry points. Why this peculiarity? If you've handled the X-3, it's feels super light so the implication here is the guitar's body had been extensively chambered. This way, the body's hollow nature could not hold any string ferules to allow a through-body stringing hence the tail end entry instead. Do note the horrible action adjustment screw protrusions there; I'm looking for replacement parts for those.

Cort: X-3 (Part 1)

Cort's X-3 is a lower tier offering by the manufacturer, I got mine for less than $250 (yesterday) so you get the picture where it stands. It's also very light, in fact, too light to be a worthy consideration for those hunting for a fresh electric guitar. This effectively means, the X-3 is inherently a bright guitar & I like what I hear from this guitar once the distortion kicks in.
