By some miracle, (probably because this is an all laminate guitar) it only had/has some minor buzzing on the 2nd fret. I get it in the mail, and it actually sounds really nice and the action is low, but the bridge is seriously pulling, and the top is seriously bulging. It's also kind of a funny story - I got this on ebay about 5 years ago and it was described as being in great shape with nice low action.

My favorite Epiphone Les Paul Guitars were actually built at the Korean Cort Factory.This Cortez acoustic is a nice little Japanese piece. The history of Cort guitars has been pockmarked with legal and design and copyright issues, however today the company has established itself well in the OEM business for making excellent guitars at very affordable prices a very good move considering the situation it was in. Because of its low cost “ Replica guitars”, more people could play high quality guitars without the need for shelling out extra cash for brand names. Although in doing so Cort has lost some of the brand value that it once had, however, it has also allowed Cort’s stock to rise amongst guitarists and guitar collectors.Īll things considered, Cort has been a rather influential company which, although never directly contributing to the development of the Guitar as an instrument, has greatly helped in its proliferation and usage. Other companies known for producing very high quality and priced guitars have also contracted Cort for making low budget/entry segment guitars.įor instance, the Irish company Avalon had Cort make 8,000 guitars under its brand name and very nearly doubled their income by successfully penetrating the Entry Market. Cort now makes guitars for companies such as Ibanez, ESP, Schecter and G&L. In recent years, the history of Cort Guitars has changed a lot as it decided to become more of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) rather than producing guitars under its own name.

They offer great quality and craftmanship at incredible prices. The company never offered any special signature guitars of its own rather choosing to offer guitars which were more-or-less copies in both appearance and quality to popular brands such as Fender and Gibson.
