Ah, the infamous Marina model B-402

They were made in Korea in the 80's. There was a matching guitar too, not sure of the model number. Value is minimal, but those who fall for the shape tend to pay around $250.

I play guitar and bass for bands that play mostly roots-rock: Last Train Home (country rock with a bunch of stuff thrown in), The Grandsons (New Orleans, calypso, old country, yodeling polkas) and Naughty Pine (mostly my own songs). I also play with Exit 10, which plays blues/jazz/funk-oriented stuff. Exit 10 plays at Madam's Organ about once a month.

I just couldn't resist , had to get this one in my hands . With sn 5030063.Does anybody know something about Cort,Korea codes?If indeed from the early 80's this could be sn 0063 from march 85 ?
Very playable , quit heavy , but with good sustain and smooth neck.
Hopefully his simular(guitar-)sister falls in my hands one day....

The longer I think about it the longer I don't think it's a Korean but a Taiwan one...or am I wrong or is Cort indeed the guilty one????
