Cort Sunset I & II
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:40 am
Another guy beat me to it this morning on the TDPRI, but I'm posting a lot of the same info and an ICEY BOMB because this thing is news to some of us:
First off, I was surprised to find that it's already in about a dozen shops over here. At W930,000(about $820) for the Sunset I, it's not cheap for your average MIK, but with a set of TV Jones Classics already installed, the guitar may save a lot of work for those who want a chambered "thinline" body and gotta have both proper Filtertrons and a Bigsby. All bases covered.
Maple top
Chambered mahogany body
24.75" scale]
Set neck
12" fretboard radius
Roller bridge
Grover Tuners
Bigsby B50
Cort Sunset I
Cort Sunset II
The Premier Guitar NAMM gallery has a better image of that metallic CAR finish. The only difference seems to be that the production version has the B50 a lot closer to the bridge than the one at NAMM. Despite a better location for teh wobblez, the chickenhead knobs are bound to be a lot harder to reach if the Bigsby arm is in position.
