There seem to be 2 versions of the headstock design for these guitars. The one you have with the "arrow" shape at the top, but there is also the one with a little cutout at the top. The latter one looks so much better imho. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out which ones the newer ones have.

I recently picked up a used Cort 1996 LP style guitar with flamed maple top, cherry burst, mahogany body/neck from the Guitar Center. They didn’t bother to put new strings on it and it sat there for a long time with rusty strings. I picked it up and played it through a Blues Junior and fell in love with it. Since it had been there a while, they let me walk out the door with it for 200 bucks. Truly a wonderful guitar for the money even for two or three times that amount.

I wanted to dip my toe into the world of single-cuts having only ever played S type and T type guitars. Picked up a CR Custom locally for an absolute steal. Stunning quilted maple top. It has proper Kluson Deluxe tuners, TonePros bridge and stoptail and Seymour Duncan pickups (JB bridge and 59 neck!) it’s an absolutely killer instrument and I feel zero need to ‘upgrade’ to a proper Les Paul

Checked your words for several times and finally get one! Mind-blowing! Every word you said in this video, in my opinion, is absolutely right. I love this guitar more than my other. It's absolutely a peice of quality gear. Love it more for crunchy blues and rock sound on emg active❤

I have 10 guitars and my cort cr 200 is my favourite out of the lot.

[ALeXdjer]

I have Cort 230 the black and white one and i can say that i love it more than any expensive guitars, it sounds sooo good and is very versatile, the EMG pickups are at a next level with this guitar, i know a lot of haters that they say "Yeah but it's a Cort" and some of them after playing it they get kinda jealous, and the low action on it makes it even better and enjoyable to play.
Good video and rock on!!

I have a Cort CR200 and I can officially say that it is hands-down one of the best LP style guitars out there. It plays great, looks absolutely stunning and comes very close in terms of tone, versatility and playability.

Late to the party but how is the volume roll off on these? I have EMGs in an Epiphone LP and they don't lose top end as I roll back the volume. And I have treble bleed on another two of my guitars and I have realised it is a feature that I really lean into a lot
I have a Cort 335 which I noodle on a lot, but don't gig much. However every time I do gig it I get positive comments about my sound. I did have to reverse the saddle on the bridge to get it intonated though. And even then it could do with another mill on a couple of the strings. But its good enough for most things

Nice video i already bought one, the CR 200 model, and i love it! Great Guitar!

[stefanchernev]

Great review, sir! :))) What about the weight and does it have neck dive? I had a Harley Benton with FAT 55, but it was around 4 kg and very neck heavy...

[soundwavesurfer]

Great vid -
Awesome Guitar! - I was told that this model also has a long neck tenon, is that true?

[sharads]

Very nice review, and I agree with your praise of this guitar and brand Cort in general. Now I share with you my experience of brand Cort.

I own Cort CR300, CR250 Antique Amber (like Epiphone Greeny), Samick AV3 and EC-256FM. Among all, CR250 is the loudest and most bright sounding.

Now the "con". Within a year, I detected intonation problem in 1st and 2nd string of CR300 and while changing strings, discovered that 1st and 2nd strings have dug in some of the frets 😢. This means the hardness of the fret wires is below the required limit, which is a quality non-confirmance.

A couple of years ago I purchased Cort KX307MS 7-stringer. Few days later I noticed that the strings are touching the fretboard on lower frets. After analysis, discovered that the crown height of the fret wires was less 😲 (lesser than specified Jumbo frets). Secondly, there were no dot inlays on the side of the neck. Barring these two defects, the guitar and its neck was rock solid. But I sold the guitar immediately and at a 60% of its purchase price.

The point is that Cort guitars are 90% perfect. But that remaining 10% non-perfection badly affects guitar functions.

[rayrobinsoniswodwo]

Wholeheartedly agree with you. What an amazing guitar. I love mine. Punches well above its weight. Prefer it to my last Gibson LP.

[JustAnotherINFJ]

I purchased an M800 in 2006. It is the best quality built guitar I own.

[padawan]

Great stuff. The cutaway does look a little large though, or is that just me? Don't mean to be nit picking because this is really interesting

[jasonism]

I had the cr250. How's the weight on the cr300? Is it heavy?

[andyt]

I have a few guitars from a 2k Eastman Sb59v, and a 1.25k junior, a PRS Se silver sky so that's a grand! what do I play most Cort G290 FAT in violin burst, I love it!

[bradt.]

Got a Cort Matt Murphy, very nice, well made guitar. Nice fat neck, finally found I liked humbucker size P-90's best in it. Got it at GC a while ago on a whim, just caught my eye. Not built as well as my core PRS's or my R8, but every bit as good as my older Korean made PRS. Same factory I believe.

[AriaMehr]

Tnx man! I have x300 by cort for 3 years, yes this brand needs more respect🌹

[Сунђербобан]

I can't decide between cr300 and vintage v100 lemon drop distressed 😐
