Picked this beast up today and haven't really put it down all evening  |D  Anybody else bought anything cool recently?

Looks good. Hows it play?(Do not respond with you're fingers) Did you get a good deal on it?

Plays great! I have an Epiphone G400 SG as well which requires a bit of effort with fingerwork if you're even thinking about scales or anything like that.  This one (Cort X6) however, is a lot more efficient when it comes to getting around the fretboard, very nice and quick :)

It cost me £269 (about $480?) with a free £50 ($90?) setup lobbed in, which is excellent for the quality of this guitar!

Very cool!  I am in the middle of fixing the shit out of both of my guitars.

I have two cheap as shit guitars, a Fender Squire SE 100 and an Ibanez SG (I think).  The Squire isn't too bad.  I only had to replace the nut and now I have to find some decent paint that I can use to redo a couple of places where the paint is chipped.  The Ibanez on the other hand is a wreck (I let my little brother play with it unsupervised).  I have to replace one of the pickups, I need two new tuning keys, one new saddle for the high E string and I have to re-solder a bunch of wires on the inside.  

I should just get an acoustic.  Much less maintenance there.

Heh yeah, my past 2 electrics have been fixed bridge, this one came with an A4 sheet about what you shouldn't do with the Floyd, scary :o  Personally, fixed bridge guitars are by far the easiest to maintain, you can restring one in about 15-20 mins.

wow this is alittle old... i dont know how i passed it up.
that thing is a beast!
like sauza i have cheap guitars, a epiphone les paul, and some other thing that came in a starter kit thing.  i have a fender bass also but it is MIA at the moment.  then there was the Ibanez SG... *tear*
i loved that damn thing.  i put it in the shop to get it re-fretted and some other maintance things done and never picked it up kfor some reason.  by the time that i did think about it a year had passed and i think that they had sold it.  what a sad day that was.  it was the first thing that i bought for myself when i got my real job.  that thing played like a goddamn champ.  and your fingers could glide across the fret board.  turn back the volume some and you had a nice little growl for bluesier stuff.  crank that shit up and it would melt your face off.  and that was thru my little fender sidekick.  i guess that having a big muff (pi) didnt hurt either.

good luck with that new axe sureshot!  treat her like shit and you always seem to get the best results. :rock:

Sureshot's guitar definitely looks great. You've got a nice finish, lots of pick-ups, and a locking trem. Locking trems are cool, but taking care of them sucks. My favorite guitar has a locking trem and I hardly ever play it just because it's such a pain to tune. They still rock that much harder.

Also, if anyone is interested I'm trying to sell a black bronze series B.C. Rich Warlock for about $100.

I've been thinking about picking up a Warlock for a little while now, but it just isn't that practical for me.  I'm not in a band so I don't need a flashy guitar.  While I like the sound and the way it looks, it just wouldn't be a practical guitar for me to get right now.
