    Which is better????????

    Alexi-200
    KH-202

    Furtados is quoting 31550 for Alexi and 31350 for KH_202.

    Are prices fixed in furtados????or we can use some BARGAINS.lol

    alexi-200 seems out of question to me.. don go for it in my opinion..
    and everyone bargains.. so is furtados.. try other shops in bangalore as well.. rhythm musicals.. soundglitz..etc.. or try to get it from US.. it'll cost u 23k.. way too cheap..

    i dont know what KH is but, you do you really want to pay alexi money so that you can have his name on your guitar.

    Some corts are available with Reynolds..actually i was looking for Alexi-200...but its a very big guitar and with only pickup which is not even emg...i loved that KH-202...but furtados is quoting 31000...so thinking what to do:/

    spec wise cort k6 is way better than any other guitar within that price range... even KH202 doesn't have very good reviews.. and 202 has passive EMGs.. which are not that good.. actives are kickass..

    I have exactly the same question in mind. Both the guitars are priced similar in Furtados Mumbai.
    Surprisingly on bajaao Kh 202 is priced 37k and the alexi 200 is 43k :O
    Like rickkkyrich said i even saw the cort EVL-x4 at Musician's mall. I liked that guitar as well. The pentagram inlays are really cool. Now im really confused between the 3
    Cort EVL-X4
    ESP LTD Alexi - 200
    ESP LTD KH - 202
    I mostly play thrash metal like metallica and megadeth.
    Experts..please help me decide. Im going to buy one of these in another three days !!

    Help !

    Alright, i googled quite a bit and there seems to be not much of a difference in the Alexi & KH guitars. The cort is good but not very popular online. But i personally loved playing it in the store 2 days back. Today i tried out the Alexi and KH guitars and the alexi felt a lil easier to play compared to the KH. I felt the KH bridge was a lil high so i asked him to lower the bridge and will check it out tomorrow.
    Now reviews din't do any good to me. So im seeking personal advice from the owners of these guitars. Let your thoughts flow in. Guys i really need your help for this one.

    Here's something for those who aren't really familiar with these guitars but have good experience and can help me out.

    dude u dint missed the neck pickup in Alexi Laiho???
    They both are overprices as they are signature series guitars..
    spec wise cort outplays both of them..
    moreover the EMGs in cort and ESP 202 are the same only..

    I did see the pickups in the Laiho but i played it today and it sounds good.
    I totally agree about the prices. But as of now, for me, price is not the issue. I'm spending for this guitar and wont spend for another one in the next 5 years so i dont want to regret my decision. Even if it means spending more/less.

    When you talk about the cort specs..which specs in particular are you considering ?
