A New Guitar

I never thought I’d own a Strat, but now I do. Guess it’s true that the amount of guitars one needs will always be n + 1, haha. Anyway, a lucky find on a second hand platform that I was monitoring for some weeks. It’s a 2015 model, made by Cor-Tek (aka Cort), offering decent craftsmanship that takes it well into the solid mid-range when paired with a proper setup. I paid 80 Euro for it, and spent about two hours on the setup. What I did: Cleaned thoroughly Polished the frets Oiled the fretboard New strings Custom tremolo block (sanded down my own wood block) Complete setup (neck relief, action, intonation, pickup height) …all according to the manufacturer’s official setup guide. I’m very pleased with the outcome. The guitars plays very nicely, sounds great when played over my THR10, and provides the iconic single coil sound (aka Strat twang) that I was looking for recently. And finally, here’s a photo:
