Budget Gear - Cort CR50 

Sert muziklerde iyi performans alabiliyor musun? LP genelde cazz pop içinmiş arastiedigim kadariyla. Pisman olur muyum?

@@kuzukurt4756 ben almadım dostum maalesef. Ama alırsam ikinci el epiphone les Paul alırım

Thanks mate

Thanks dude, definitely keep rocking.

Thanks so much. Glad you're along for the ride.

Thank you, very kind.

The CR series from at least the CR200 are all set neck.

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?

@@yihyunkim1997 If you can stretch the budget to the CR150 do it. You get more upgrades like a set neck.

@@WombatPage Awesome, that clears my last worries! Thank you so much! Subscribed and notification turned on! :D

@@yihyunkim1997 Glad I could help

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.

I personally think the CR-50 is a little more versatile but you can't go wrong with either guitar.

@@WombatPage thank you sir

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.

I love P90's. Cort instruments are well made and good quality for the price. I have not done a review on this particular Cort sorry.

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?

@@WombatPage I prefer the Cort Cr50 shape than pacifica112j

@@andiargana8487 Then buy the CR50. Job done.

@@WombatPage thx sir🙏🏻

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.

@@WombatPage thanks man! This helps a lot!

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.

Thank you sir! Keep doing what you love! Peace ✌

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.

@@WombatPage thanks so much!

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

No problem.

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

@@skeleton_of_society Won't do blues but great for everything else. I have done a review on this channel of the X-1.

Thanks sir......I m buying Cort X1

Sir but in a few reviews it said it lost its tuning stability after 2 or 3 songs is it true sir ??

Can i know also ? whats better ? The Schrecter SGR S~1 or Cort , Godbless

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.

Between those two guitars, I would choose the CR50 for the kind of music you want to play. It will just handle those genres of music better.

@@WombatPage thanks alot mate

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.

@@WombatPage thanks! What guitars would you recommend for gigs that aren’t too expensive. Preferably under $300

@@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.

@@WombatPage okay

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.

@@WombatPage yeah cool..thank you for replying

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.

Thanks the answer.

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.

Wombat Page I'm 3 months late lol but thank you for the reply. It was indeed very helpful

The fret job on this guitar was really quite good for the money. No fret issues at all. I was quite impressed.

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 :)

Hell yeah.

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.

Wombat Page thanks sir, I'm more of a blues and rock player.. will the stock pickup do well with these genres?

Whilst not the best pickups on the market, they should do just fine.

Yes

I personally use 10-52 most of the time but this guitar and indeed most Cort guitars come with D'Addario 10-46

Wombat Page thanks for the answer!

My pleasure
