Thank you brother. so true..this Cort CR50 is my first electric guitar and so glad having it. The look and the sound is pretty amazing. You can see the sunburst design is actually a "guitar pick" drawing!
Hey man, awesome review! Do you mind helping me choose between the CR50 and a CR100, considering I'm going for blues and clean music? Is the CR100 worth the extra money? Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work!
The CR50 is a flat top, one tone, one volume, no bells or whistles beginner guitar. The CR100 shares the same pickups as the CR50 but has upgrades like a carved top, pickguard and all the controls of a regular LP style guitar. If you want an LP style guitar without the LP price tag then the CR100 is a better version of that than the CR50.
wow thank you so much for the fast reply! Just one more question, would you consider the CR150, which has different pickups than the 50 and the 100, a more suitable guitar that satisfies my needs?
I don't feel or hear any difference. Some players say they can hear it, I own guitars with set necks and bolt on necks and it makes no difference to me.
For me, it comes down to what kind of music you want to play on it. While you can play most kinds of music on both guitars, if you want to play hard rock and metal genres then the Strat won't do that very well but the CR50 will. Both guitars are well built and quality.
Hi . I came across a Cort junior guitar with 2 p90s & Bigsby Trem ,brand new at a very very good price . Have you ever made a review on it ?? Or what do you think of it ? I play ballads & Latin American type of music . Love your comments,keep up the grea work.
Both are well-made guitars for the money that will last, sound good and feel good to play. You can't go wrong with either guitar so the real question here is which one do you like the look of more?
I know I'm 3 years late! but I'm kinda confused between cort cr50 and epiphone lp special ve! which one would you suggest as a secondary guitar? I already use cort x100 and I absolutely love that guitar! And did epiphone discontinue manufacturing some of their les paul models (like lp 100, etc) cause I don't see those on their official website?
Yes, Epiphone have changed a lot of their models including the LP Special. They still do the Slash LP Special pack which is similar to the old LP Special. To be honest, I was really impressed with the CR50. The fit and finish was better than the Epi and the pickups were better than the Epi LP Special. In fact, you will be familiar with them as they are the same pickups as you have in the X100. All in all, I thought the CR50 was a better guitar than the LP Special. Hope this helps.
Both guitars are well made with great pickups for a first instrument. It really comes down to which you like the look of. If you like Strats, go for the Yamaha, but if you like Les Pauls, go for the Cort. You can't go wrong with either guitar.
Depends on what kind of rock you want to play. If you want to play light rock or folk type rock then the mustang is the guitar for you. If you want to play heavier rock then the CR50 is the weapon of choice. It's more about the pickups than the guitar itself.
I have not played the Vault but I can tell you that the CR50 is a quality guitar made by one of the world's biggest guitar manufacturers who spend time making guitars for other big name brands.
@@WombatPage Thanks for your reply, I bought Cr 50 few weeks ago and i absolutely loved it. Its my first guitar and Now it resides in my heart, thanks for your video and advice
Sir which one should I prefer Cort g100 or Cort g110 for Hard rock , slight blues and Thrash metal ?? I want something sounding like a LP but I cannot afford any ephiphone model...... thanks you got a new subscriber today
I would stay away from the G110 for the things your looking to do. The G100 would be better or even take a look at the CR line of guitars like the CR50 above.
Bdw sir I found another one Cort X1 that sounded very much nice to me and gave up the plan of Cort g100 or g110 .....I m thinking of buying that Cort X1. What do you think of it sir ? And thanks for the reply dear sir
I would say they are a hot vintage kind of pickup. Great with distortion and awesome clean. It depends on how much dirt we are talking about here. Rock and blues are kinda what they are aimed at, not so much metal. They will do metal but other pickups would do it better.
I have only had the chance to play one SGR model and it wasn't the S-1. Quality instruments for sure. It really depends on the kind of music you want to play. Schecter are aimed at the metal and hard rock genres whilst the Cort CR50 is aimed at rock and blues kind of stuff. Both quality but I think in most cases the Cort CR50 is probably a little cheaper.
hello mate, what should i buy i got two options according to my range, a G100 and cr50,im aiming for hard rock and a bit metal too and not really for blues.
This guitar is at the starter end of things and whilst you probably could play gigs with it you would be better off investing more money on a guitar that is a bit more capable in that kind of realm.
@@arigreen5845 Your not going to get a stage-ready guitar for under $300 unless you buy second hand. I don't know what prices are like in your country but here in Australia, you will need to spend at the very least $500 but more like $600 or $700.
I play an LTD but I haven't played an EC10 so I don't really know what the pickups are like. The LTD guitars are well made though. I would pick the CR 100 because I know the quality and the pickups.
Same pickups, same tuners, same attention to detail. One is not better than the other it just comes down to which shape you prefer or which neck feels better to you or even what style of music you like. Both are entry level guitars and you can't go wrong with either guitar.
hello sir. thank you for the review. just one question. i don't know much about guitars. this was my first one and recently I had the opportunity to get an Epiphone SG special. pardon my ignorance, but I wanna know which one is "better", (I have been enjoying more playing the Cort than the epi)
G'day Manuel, both the CR50 and the SG Special are entry level guitars, that means they are made to be someones first guitar so they are about the same level of instrument. Both are quality and will take a student instrument far and as such one is not really better than the other. They are different from each other however, different shape, different necks, different pickups and different hardware. What it comes down too is what you like in body shape and neck. I am a Les Paul fan so I like the CR50 shape but I have played a lot with an SG Special and it's a quality instrument. If you bought the two most expensive guitars in the world you would still play one more than the other. For some reason or another we are drawn to one over another. It can just speak to us more, it could be shape, colour or the neck could feel better in our hands or we could just prefer the sound of the pick ups, who knows. Doesn't mean one is better than the other, just that we prefer one. This is why we should try and have a play of an instrument before we buy it. Congrats on owning two guitars dude but be careful. Buying instruments can become addictive. I own 10 - 12 instruments and I have bought at least one that I have reviewed (Slash Les Paul) and came close to buying at least two more. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Cort are one of the biggest manufacturers in the world and make a lot of guitars for other brands both big and small. It's possible they may make, or have made in the past, some of the Harley Benton stuff.
You're probably right about that, just that you would think HB would try to distinguish itself from another brand, rather than telling Cort "just use whatever leftovers for our necks" (complete supposition of course :))
I think it would be more a case of something needs to go there and Cort already have bulk of those inlays so HB went with it to cut costs of designing and cutting new inlays.
Ah, yes, good thought! I guess Cort aren't too precious about trademark infringement ;). As long as we get decent playing guitars for not a great deal of money, all is good :)
sir, is the action high or low? and you mentioned that its not good for performing at concert.. should i buy it and then change pick ups for performing on concert? or buy a guitar with better pickups? also, is it not at all playable at concert with stock pick ups?
The action was quite good but keep in mind it's adjustable, so you can always raise or lower it to what you like. As far as playing live, it's designed to be a beginners guitar but you could play it live if you wanted to and with a great set of pickups in it you could play almost anything you liked. It all depends on the type of music you wanted to play.
