when in the world did this bad boy come out??

 

[bostjan]

EMG HZs are passive pickups. Read more here.

Just curious, how much do those cost? It's pretty impressive-looking for a Cort.

I've already played on a Cort 7-string, namely this type:

I must say I thought it was pretty comfortable, and well built, especially for the price (around 300-400 euros). I was actually looking for an ERG at the time, in this price range and this sounded good, felt good, played good. But the pentagram inlays and the truss rod cover literally blew it. I think that shit is the most immature and cheesy thing i've ever seen on an instrument. (this coming from a guy who's spent the past 12 years listening to death, black and thrash metal)

 

[ixlramp]

Yeah, fond as I am of pentagrams (very fond), they look perhaps a little cheesy on the Cort EVLs. I can live with them though. The truss rod cover is pretty bad, I think I would remove that or flip it over.

 

[arsonist]

I guess it's an absolute case of "to each his own"

 

[ixlramp]

The singlecut is the Cort EVL-Z47, I find the bevels and matt black finish gorgeous. Anyway it's now discontinued, the new K47B has identical specs (except the scale) so I guess a similar price.

 

[UltraParanoia]

They have been releasing some quality products, that kind of stay under the radar.

 

[Loomer]

Well well well.. Didn't see THAT coming. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[rythmic_pulses]

Yeah I remember hearing about this one off a friend who had a EVL Z47 the single cut one, i guess the scale will be an improvement for people who want to tune to A and G without any poor tension like on a regular scale 7 string, only 22 frets! thats a letdown i like having 24 it feels more comfortable plus there is another thing about it i dont like the look of it the headstock doesn't really work that much but thats just my opinion.

 

[rob_707]

im thinking of getting one of these, seein as my schecter guitar neck warped at the second fret. but im only worried about one thing. if i were to take thoughs emgs out would a normal pickup say a dimarzio, fit the same screw holes??

[MaKo´s Tethan]

pretty Schecter...IMO, good for the 27 inch scale.

 

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

This looks kind of lame...Would have been cooler if it was a baritone single cut.

 

[JPhoenix19]

I would consider getting one, if it weren't for the silly inlays. I really like matte black.

 

[harkonnen8]
