Actually many of the G&L ranges of guitars are made by Cort.

Cort’s main production focus is not on Cort-brand guitars, but rather on contract work for numerous other companies. Generally, large companies contract Cort to build lower-priced guitars that have that company’s brand on them. Ibanez, Parkwood, Schecter, G&L Tribute series line of guitars are among the most well-known brands that Cort produces. In recent years, small companies known for extremely high quality (and high-priced) guitars have begun contracting Cort to produce budget line models. Avalon, based out of Northern Ireland, sold 8,000 guitars and more than doubled their income from the previous year when they contracted Cort to build a lower-priced guitar for them.

I go more by feel than sound, in which case I love hollowbodies and SGs. I like light guitars that feel cool to hold. Thin necks are nice for me, as well.

But, of course, I'm not gonna buy a guitar with amazing feel that sounds like sh!t or buzzes, etc.

absolutely. if it doesn't look (and therefore feel) cool then i won't care how good it might sound i won't be inclined to play it, odds are i probably wouldn't even try it out.

I love the feel and sound of Fenders- Jazzmasters specifically.

Had to go with the Fender... I've enjoyed playing American made Fenders then any other brand of guitar. The biggest disappointment I've had with a guitar brand was PRS... such a beautiful, well made guitar but the feel and the sound just wasn't right for me.

Does anyone know what a good guitar for punk is? Is a strat, tele, or SG better?

A good guitar for punk is out of tune and worth about 3 of the main unit of your local currency. Its also covered in stickers and plays like a railway sleeper with strings.
