Description
The Cort CR200 Single Cut Electric Guitar in Gold Top is a classic looking, great sounding instrument for guitarists who want the feel and tone of a timeless rock machine without the premium price. It is ideal for advancing players stepping up from their first guitar, as well as anyone who favours blues, rock or indie and wants a familiar single cut layout that just works. The comfortable body shape, balanced weight and reassuring build make it a confident companion for home practice, band rehearsals and first gigs, with a finish that looks the part under stage lights.
Built around a mahogany body topped with carved maple, the CR200 delivers the warmth and sustain associated with the style, complemented by the snap and definition of the maple cap. A set neck construction enhances resonance, while a smooth jatoba fingerboard and tidy fretwork keep chords clean and bends controlled. Medium jumbo frets and a comfortable neck profile help your hands relax, encouraging accurate fretting across the board. A tune o matic bridge and stop tailpiece provide rock solid tuning and intonation, and the vintage styled Gold Top finish gives a refined look that stands out for all the right reasons.
Twin humbuckers supply a versatile range of tones from clear cleans to punchy overdrive, with a traditional 2 volume, 2 tone layout and a 3 way selector that makes learning and shaping sounds straightforward. The guitar is quiet and consistent, which is helpful in school rooms and practice spaces where hum and buzz can be distracting. It holds tune well and responds predictably, so students can focus on technique and rhythm rather than fighting the instrument.
For UK tuition and ensemble work, the CR200 fits neatly into common syllabus requirements where reliable tuning, stable intonation and a range of usable tones are essential. It feels comfortable for extended practice sessions and stands up to the rigours of travel between lessons, rehearsals and shows. Offering a clear step up in materials, construction and playability from typical starter models, it represents strong value for the progressing player who wants a guitar to grow with them.
