Cort G300 Raw
The Indonesian-made G300 has featured in our Gear Of The Year selections before, but it’s hard to argue with the quality of the forwardlooking bolt-on with this enviable spec. Along with the posher new Glam version, the Raw goes boutique with a figured walnut top and moody natural satin finish. But the body is chambered, resulting in a light 3.25kg (7.15lb) weight, while the neck is graphite-reinforced mahogany with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard, Luminlay side dots and stainless-steel frets. Then there’s that smart Cort CFA ‐III two-post vibrato, locking tuners and the classic Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz humbuckers. We said: “A simply great guitar that covers a very wide range of sounds and styles.”
