(Originally written by the12/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Where was it made? I believe the first Cort models were made in japan...
21 frets, two single-coil pickups, each with a volume control (no toggle switch)
Master tone control
UTILIZATION
Pleasant neck but it's not very fast!!
Good access to the upper frets thanks to the SG-like cutaway
Very light guitar (6.6 lb. max.)
Short scale for small guitarists...
It gas the typical problems of a vintage instrument (tuning stability, machine heads, hum, knobs, etc.)
SOUNDS
The sound is perfect for my music style.
I play it with overdrive or distortion using the neck pickup. I turn the tone control fully down... The sound is incredible between the 12th-14th frets...
The guitar sounds very nice for blues because it has strong mids
I own two, one with a standard tuning and the other one with open tuning in either A or E...
They sound amazing with a bottleneck.
I sometimes add a compressor for solos (but watch out for hum noise...)
Forget about playing hardcore with these guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using them for over one year
I bought them on ebay at a very low price
They sound very good and are quite rare
Strong vintage character
Based on my experience I would buy a third one.
But I don't have any information about this model. I asked in several music shops but nobody knew a thing about them.
If you own one or you have some information about them please get in touch with me
