Check out this KILLER CORT guitar. I LOVE IT! Sounds amazing

Near mint condition and sounds and plays so sweet. Great tone and sustain with such a nice slim neck. I'm glad i walked into the music shop on that day!



Any info on this would be great. Cort themselves had no idea what it was. I only got out of the one guy that it was probably made in the 70's ??

Hi Onetoomany.

I'm afraid wietse is right. The paint job and headstock style places your Cort around 1986-88. The paint was copied from the custom paint jobs promoted by George Lynch on ESP instruments in 1986 and beyond. The headstock style was also used on a variety of brands in the era including ESP and Kramer.

You might be interested in seeing these Bently scarb style guitars from the same era with a similar paint job. The Koreans took notice and popped out guitars in the latest style.

I remember seeing TONS of guitars just like that one in the 80s, Cort, Lotus, Memphis, Lyon, etc etc etc. Lots of Asian guitars copying George Lynch and/or Eddie Van Halen's guitars.
