>>24777159Imma be real with you, kurtluv99. I don't know shit all about Cort. All I can say is: it looks like it fell out of a meme about Stratocaster needing to be modernized. If you just want cheap, get a Squier Debut or Sonic Stratocaster--- and make sure it's got the 6 saddle whammy bar bridge... they do make hardtails but they're adjacent in sound production and you said you want to incorporate whammies into your jam(mies) sessions.
I was looking at JEMs, and the JEM Jr. actually jumped out and spoke to me--- I want one more than a (no longer in production) Japanese Ibanez JEM.
I'm trying to navigate a world where there are 1000 choices for guitar, but I still review the guitar store website at least daily, if not 7 days in a week, this is how they remind of what I really am; it's not like them to say sorry; twas waitin' on a different story.
