Id say the first one. Theres isnt much info to make a good decision, I mean, you have to take tone into consideration, price etc. In terms of looks, Id say get the X-6. But since the GRG is an Ibanez[although budget] I guess it would be a more trust-worthy guitar. Theres no doubt that ibanez is a good company. Although I have a question: What kind of tone are you looking for?
Pepoke: They both have basswood bodies, rosewood freboards and maple necks, and I guess their pickups and bridges are also identical in quality. The only difference is that the Cort's body has a different shape and it has wider frets.Well, since the the only real difference is the design and comfort, Id say get the cort, since you said the frets are more comfy. Thats definitely a more important factor.
Shepperd: Why do you hate ibanez?
Rockman: Hmmm maybe in a distant future!
expensive as fuckWell, you have to pay for quality.
although the 330 is one of my dream geetars
Maybe a jaguar sounds different, but I've played a telecaster and it sounded just like a strat.
BTW now I'm decided, I'll get the cort because I realized I don't need a guitar with "ibanez" written on it to give me any kind of imaginary status.
Are you sure ryan, what is the theory behind that?

Hmm ok I don't think I can notice such subtle differences in timbre but you guys need to admit that there are better things out there, Leo Fender himself invented some better strats which are now sold under the G&L brand
Even you could make a better strat if you tried to!
Cort X-6 is one SEXY guitar
inri post some sound clips so we can hear it in action
are you kidding? it looks like a standard ibanezy metal guitar
naming guitars is for boykissers so dont do it.Are you calling stevie ray vaughan a boy kisser?
Yes they are and I think you must be some kind of purist who worshipes outdated things like fender stratocasters and vacuum tube amplifiers
Just because it's solid state it doesn't mean it is bad
and the "solid state pa systems" are only "solid state" because all they're doing is projecting the main (tube) amp's sound. they have no individual tone.
Actually, there a lot of pro's who opt for the modeling amps such as Line 6 (not the Spiders, the good ones such as Flextone or Vetta) for their versatility. Although tubes sound better most of the time, some higher end SS amps would probably be close enough in terms of sound that most non musicians wouldn't really notice. Owning a tube amp myself (and playing a strat), I can say tubes are fine and dandy, but certainly don't make the world of difference most 'purists' hype them to. Don't get me wrong, they're good and all, but maintaining/transporting them and whatnot is a lot more of a pain.

Guys, it depends on taste. Tube amps have a warmer sound, ss amps have a more modern feel. You have to replace tube amps vaccuum tubes every year or so, ss you dont. They both have their strengths and weakness. And not every pro musician uses tube amps. I think most of the more older/respectable musicians use tube amps is because they started playing when tubes were harcore popular, or before solid state was invented. Im sure 10-20 years from now theyres going to be a heck of alot more people using solid state amps than tubes.
Also I personally stay away from modeling amps because they dont emulate a natural tone.
That was a good sugestion Bakubon but it's too expensive for me and I already bought a cort viva series
But tell me what is so good about that ZR bridge?
Kirk Hammett I know uses tube amps, Dimebag I have no idea. (i've always thought dimebag was overrated as hell, but yeah.)
