Hey everybody,
I ordered a Cort G300 Pro from GG yesterday as it was on special offer at £499 (a saving of £250) and I’ve wanted a gold coloured guitar for a while. The last gold guitar I ordered, an EVH standard was from PMT online head office (Liverpool) and that turned up in a such a shabby state with faults all over it, was ex demo sold as new so I arranged a return and got a refund.
When this one turned up this morning I was pleased to see a sealed original Cort box, well packaged and placed inside the outer box. No probs until I opened it and inspected the guitar to see three separate damages
1. Lower body edge cracked and dented
2. Crack under lower edge of fretboard and fretboard badly sanded on the high edge
3. Crack on the upper horn where body meets the neck
What’s up with gold guitars turning up damaged? I’m not having much luck so I think I’ll stop trying to get one
I’ve contacted GG with images and have requested collection and refund. To be fair to GG all faults look like QC issues as the boxes were originally sealed but did not appear to have been opened and checked prior to despatch.
Boooooooooooo!!

UPS suck too by the sounds of it
I would urge you to try for a replacement if possible as they really are very good guitars indeed - and £499 is a steal.
I was really looking forward to this guitar, always wanted a gold one and was eagerly watching YouTube reviews yesterday awaiting its arrivall
such is life lol
That's what I was thinking too. I noticed @strtdv mentioning the neck pocket crack can happen because of a tight fit, and then I saw the neck and thought it wasn't that tight at all!
