About this deal
Absolute bargain for any of these in the 70 year anniversary sale. Spec wise, they're great value and much cheaper than anywhere else. No postage fees, as they are over £149.
I've not seen them on offer at this price before and at the moment, they're £500+ new, so there's at least a £200 reduction vs the next best price.
Cort produce some excellent guitars and even if this was around £400, I think you're getting a decent enough deal. Not sure on stock levels, but hopefully there are a fair few of each.
See below for the specs of each one, as there is some variation

Description
Voiced Tone VTH-77 Pickup Set
Besides providing modern high output for today's high-energy music, these new VTH- 77 pickups also clean up nicely to get great classic rock and bluesy tones to cover a wide variety of musical genres and playing styles.
Custom Wired Electronics
The simple yet versatile control layout provides all the sounds the player needs while allowing the player to focus on playing and making music. The 5-way switch is custom-wired to provide glassy and sparkling single-coil sounds in the 2nd and 4th positions as well as the full- bodied and powerful humbucker sounds in the bridge, middle and neck positions.
Roasted Maple Neck & Fretboard
By treating the maple wood in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability, a big bolder tone, as well as a more smooth vintage look.
Compound Radius Fingerboard (12” - 15.75”)
A deluxe feature for players who like to transition from easy chording on the low register to high-speed soloing and enhanced string-bending on the upper register, the compound radius facilitates easier playability so you can focus on your playing.
Ergo-V Neck Profile
Highly popular among guitar players, the Ergo-V neck shape provides greater comfort at any position across the entire neck for enhanced playability.
Graph Tech® Black TUSQ Nut
Preferred by many guitar makers and players for rich tone and sustain, the TUSQ® is an advanced polymer that's formed under high heat and pressure for uniform density. It's designed to transfer string energy more efficiently, and to make guitars come alive with enhanced harmonics, volume and sustain.
Cort® Staggered Locking Tuners
The locking tuners provide superb tuning stability by eliminating string slippage at the posts while facilitating quick string changes.

lol..
I'm having an internal battle with myself to not buy another. Real fancy that blue one. I want it. I don't need it. I have one. But I like it. You don't have to buy it. But it's reduced... etc.
£299 for this is an absolute STEAL. Almost bought one from eBay for more than double!
