Seemed all too easy to peel off the diamond-shaped patterns on the body (not that I tried to). There is something gorgeous about the snakeskin look, although the way it was made could probably be better.

Oh yeah, I have to thank Uncle Ben Eller (check out his channel on YouTube!) for showing me how to restring that Floyd. In case youвЂ™re wondering how long it took, less than 30 minutes all in (most of it spent to set up intonation). Finally, I wiped the guitar clean and restrung with a 9-42 set from its stock 10-46. Armed with knowledge gained from the interwebs, I was able to disassemble the bridge and set it up. It starts easy as the rough diamond snakeskin pattern in front of the guitar simply needed a soft brush to clean. It was a massive pain to set up properly. I took it to a shop that promised its return in a week for the cleaning and set-up, but that was too long a wait. Not enough to cause problems with intonation and workable with some truss rod adjustments, but enough for me to notice with my untrained eye. It looked as if she was ignored in the warehouse for years. It was dusty in some places and its action (with the bridge flush down) starts low from the 1st to 12th fret, and gradually becomes a low-medium height towards the 24th fret. You can tell by the horrid state it was in that no one cared much for the model. I ordered the Cort X-6 Vpr brand new online. Also, my amp wasnвЂ™t going to be a 4Г—12 all-tube monster so whichever guitar I picked between the RG or Cort would still sound as boxy as the Orange Crush 12 I owned.

Take note that from the start, I was already planning on switching out pickups and mod the whole thing. Faced with a more practical option, I sent the seller a message and made my purchase. I t stuck in my mind for a whole week, and could only find foreign websites selling the same model вЂ“ Cort X-6 Vpr.Д«y some dumb luck or another, I managed to find a seller who had the same exact model I was looking for and for just a little over half the price of the RG350DX. While surfing the net, I chanced upon a video of some dude from Cifra Club brandishing a snakeskin guitar. They had a purple one for sale, but it looked plain compared to the glorious black on white. Since I could not tell authenticity of second-hand Ibanez guitars, I looked for the white ones through authorized dealers. Unfortunately the white RGs all came in second hand. The black-on-white RG350DX looked gloriously stunning while the red metallic satin X-6 was no slouch herself. With that in mind, the two guitars within budget вЂ“ the Cort X-6 (recommended by a bro) and the Ibanez RG350DX (one I discovered while researching guitars online) вЂ“ both had decent looks. Inspired by the 80вЂ™s hair metal era, I wanted to look for a guitar that screams вЂњglamвЂќ вЂ“ one that can divebomb a pinch harmonic and look cool. It was something I decided to get as my first electric guitar because it had an 80вЂ™s vibe to it visually and it had a floating tremolo вЂ“ the two absolute requirements (at the time) for my first electric. I made the purchase sometime November 2016 (three years ago). It is a budget guitar with a US$360 Price Tag. This is a personal review of the Cort X-6 Vpr.
