Description
This was a guitar made in collaboration with Jack Westhimer and Lotus/Cort guitars. The idea was to show that the "low end" or "cheap" manufactured guitars could be just as pretty as Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, et al. So Westhimer hired Korean mother of pearl/abalone inlay artists to beautify 50 Cort and 50 Lotus guitars. This is the result.

The Last of the Dragons
Mine is #11 out of 50. This is an ABSOLUTE BEAST of an axe. Fitted with DiMarzio Super Distortions straight from the factory, this thing SINGS. It's got great weight, great balance, and lemme tell ya, that bridge is an absolute stunner for what it is. Locking nut stays in tune. And since it's not a string-thru bridge like a Floyd Rose, you can wail on it like Odysseus' Business (that's a bit highbrow, IYKYK). Not to mention the thing is just GORGEOUS.
They go for between $1500 and $2500 if you can find 'em. I was lucky enough to lay hands on one when my wife found this for our 15th anniversary. She knows I love Lotus guitars, and have been looking for a Lotus explorer since my brother was given a purple burst one for Christmas when I was 12. Dude never even learned to play.
Who's got the REAL beast of an axe now, Johnny? I DO! HA!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Love slappin' the neck pup on, and playing directly over it. Gets a crazy hollow sound when I'm running into an Orange amp using a Collision Devices Black Hole Symmetry for the 'verb. Just... So good. This thing was MADE for deep, deep growling rhythm. I won't say it's a lead beast, though it can take that role too (I genuinely prefer my Lotus L-400 for that), this thing SHINES holding down the fort.
