Right now I don't have any boxes but that's something we can discuss, if needed. Collection in North Wilts, over a coffee or beer is always welcome. As is a meet somewhere in the usual FB fashion.
Not looking for any trades on these. Unless you have something that I'd like that is.
Comments
There is NGD thread on this guitar here
It's still great and still as new. I've just put it on here because I've seen another Cort I'd like to try out and I REALLY don't need two in this camp at all. If this one goes, I'll take a punt on the other one, if it doesn't then I'll be quite happy with this one.
Specs and fluff are here

The body is a single piece made by the legendary Marc Rutter and the bridge is from him too. The finish is a super thin transparent nitro. The neck is a licensed Fender, Baja spec, as are the tuners, The P90 is from Oil City and has a split wind, wired up as low out put, regular and volume bypass on the 3 way switch. The actual build and set up were done by the artful magician that is Andy Manners.
I adore the Bullet range from Squier and this one is a complete treat. I've lifted the details from the advert that made me buy it. It's down from £150 to £125 because some hamfisted oaf* dropped a cup of coffee on it and chipped the finish, as shown in the photos.
"Its in a beautiful Imperial Blue finish, which is hard to photograph but its basically a deep metallic blue. Lovely.
There's a thread on the modifications here but I'll describe them here too:
It had a setup, and I installed a pair of Oil City "Havoc" Pickups, which Oil City describe as:
Nothing looks like a Havoc, and nothing else sounds like a Havoc!
Triple magnet system on the bridge unit combining alnico 8 and ceramic, over height bobbins for treble cutting power. Thicker gauge wire for harmonic sparkle and fat, punchy lows. Neck unit alnico 5 and beautifully ‘string separate’. Awesome power with a light touch when the gain is rolled back. 16k bridge, 9k neck (average).
Built to split well for powerful single coil sounds
Wired as volume, tone, three way selector and with splits for both pickups---split them by using a resistor to simulate a 250K volume pot when the pickups are split, rather than partial splits. The splits in particular are really excellent---genuinely sound like a good single coil pickup, not a weedy split humbucker."
* It was me
These are every bit as good as all the good things you've every heard about them. Yes they're cheap but they're well made and a joy to play. Please take a good look at the pic of the back of the head. That crack was in the photos of the ebay ad when I bought it and is exactly the same now. It's not moved or spread over the year of my ownership, with string changes up and down in tension and it was treated to being thrown over the hedge when it arrived here in single box packing.

A fabulous take on the G style design but a much smoother player than any Gibson I've had in the hand before. The video linked there that Manns took for me tells you more about it than my words will. If I remember rightly, this comes out at about £1200 if you spec up on the GS website.
