Cort Pagelli II (PAG-II)
CORT SIGNATURE SERIES
Dates of manufacture:
2007-2012

The Cort Pagelli II (PAG-II), introduced in 2007, is a grungier vesion of the first Pagelli (PAG-I) model. It has the same beautiful single cutaway body shape (Les Paul X Iceman). The body wood is mahogany, but without the maple top of the PAG-I model. The maple set neck has a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. It has black or rusty finished hardware: wraparound combined bridge/tailpiece and three per side tuners. The pickups are two Powersound humbuckers controlled by one volume and one tone control with a three-way selector switch. The finish options for the PAG-I1 are black or rusty brown. The Pagelli models were designed by Swiss luthier Claudio Pagelli.

Review from Guitar Player

Designed by exotic Swiss guitar maker Claudio Pagelli (pagelliguitars.com), the Pagelli is one of sleekest and most distinctive Cort models we’ve ever seen. This set-neck guitar plays fabulously, and it sounds lively and resonant. Its tones are warm and sustaining, and, thanks to its clear-yet-strong pickups, it can handle blues, rock, jazz, and virtually anything else you throw at it. And that’s even before you pull the Tone knob to activate the outside coils of both pickups. Armed with a tonal palette that can be as gnarly as the Alps, as crisp as the air of Adelboden, or as smooth and mellow as Gruyere fondue, the Pagelli is an all-around pleaser.

Construction
Marvelous and classy wood grain and violin hue. A few slightly rough fret ends. Hardware is top notch. Recess for the Tone knob looks unfinished.

Playability
Gloss finished neck plays very well. Feels light and nimble. Good action and setup. Plays very in tune.

Tones
Pickups have plenty of output yet are clear and detailed. Warm rhythm tones, good lead bite and sustain. Delivers a good neck-pickup jazz sound. Really opens up in coil-split mode. Somewhat narrow Tone control range.

Guest Reviewer Comments
Distinctive design. Plays and sounds great. Very good tonal range. Beauty with overtones to spare.
