The only problem with your reviews is, no matter what you pick up, you make it sound good. Heck, I bet you could strap 3 bass strings on a shovel and make it sound great! (Actually, that's how I found you.) OK, seriously, I always enjoy hearing you play, and this guitar does indeed appear to be a winner.

@stanhathcoat920 3 года назад

I worked for a Cort dealer for several years in the early 2000s, after being away from commercial music for 20 years I was amazed at many Cort products, & how affordable they were. Until I retired from music in '84, I used nothing but USA built Gibsons, Fenders, Rickenbackers(except for one Ibanez bass I bought in '83 while gigging the 2nd year for 6 weeks in Daytona Beach. )I have probably 10 Cort basses & electrics, the fit, finish, stability & fretwork was high quality at a reasonably low price. I used to deal with reps from Cort, I remember being told around 2010-12 Cort produced 600,000 units that year, with a number of brand names everyone knows. I realized at that time the USA-built high priced brands were mostly hype, sad to say. At that time most Corts were still built in Korea. I still enjoy my old Corts.

@brentforbes7129 2 года назад

My mom bought me a Cort 25 years ago. I've always been impressed with the sound. Thanks brother.

@howabouthetruth2157 Месяц назад

I really like the way they sculpted the bridge so that it's recessed where the bridge pins are, in order to get that steeper break angle of the strings across the saddle. Yairi ( the ultra high-end, hand-made Japanese "Alvarez Yairi's" ) was the first to do this ( to my knowledge ) with their now legendary "2 piece" system that uses a block of wood embedded completely in the guitar's top that runs down through the bridge plate underneath, which is where the bridge pins are located. This totally eliminates the possibility of a bridge pulling loose from the top. The other element is their completely separate raised bridge, which gives that nice steep break angle of the strings across the saddle. Alvarez sort of copied the Yairi style 2-pc bridge, but made it all 1-piece, much like the bridge on this Cort Gold series guitar.

My first real guitar was an LP custom by Ibanez from 1972, these are the lawsuit ones. She was like a dream. I bought it from a sailor and he bought it in Japan. By the way, I'm from Croatia (former Yugoslavia) and I've been playing the guitar for 53 years. Unfortunately, I no longer have the Ibanez, but I do have a Matsumoku Japan Black Beauty with new bridge tuners and Di Marzio humbacks. Plays like butter. I have 7 el and 4 acoustic. 3 guitar is Cort and exrlent guitar made in Korea not Indonesia but indonesia guitars is old Ibanez machine made. That is why they are not to be underestimated.

I am sure you get this a lot, but I would pay the shipping from here and back just to hear you play on my creation I call the EllBow. She is rough and crudely made, but I don't know what I am doing and I can make a decent sound with her, can only imagine what you could do. Short video of me playing her right after I finished building her on my channel if anyone is interested. Either way, Thanks for the tunes and the inspiration.

Good neck, nice sound, very nice playability and string height. I as so surprised! I own two guild guitars and some more guitars. One of the duikds is westerly built (it‘s a dv73, only 50 ever build). So i was absolutely surprised how fun it was to play the cort (compared to the other guitar, a aria dreadnought). For beginners and intermediates on a budget, a Cort must be a very well solution.
