    Remember when Cort forced their workers to work with organic solvents with no protective equipment and an estimated 59% of them had diseases caused directly by the work? And then they formed a union and Cort sacked them all and moved their operations from Korea to Indonesia?
    Last year the workers got compensation and an apology. I'm curious whether or not their workers are still in the same conditions though.

      Whole income went to Ibanez/PRS/Schecter/Jackson/Squier/Washburn/Chapman/Solar etc. They ordered those guitars 1/3 of a price... We should buy more Cort and make them profit :)

  • @gmichaelhall
    @gmichaelhall 4 года назад +3

    Seems a bit late but really great to see folks taking a long hard look at the Corts. Cort builds fantastic guitars branded by all the big brands but some of the stuff they badged, like their Sunset series, is just incredible, nevermind the value paid. I have a Sunset II came with TV JONES filtertron style pickups, tone pro bridge and saddles, Grover tuners and a superb set neck with a kinda Gretsch flat fretboard that performs way above its pay grade. I'm blessed with a great collection of outstanding quality guitars and that Cort Sunset always gets a look in, just a delicious guitar to play.
    I think many have avoided Cort down to stigmas as a 3rd world budget guitar, I hope this video goes some mileage to balance the scales a bit and let an experienced opinion begin to define the brands instrument efforts. I doubt seriously Cort cares about becoming a household name, considering most every brand pitching international builds up around the $800-1500 are in fact built by Cor-tek. It's a perfect recipe to just concentrate on building a great guitar that most everyone can afford. Just an experienced Cort guitar owner's perspective.

    Look, these Cort guitars are spectacular in addition to being the best cost benefit in the market!
    But I would like to see the face of people who speak ill of the brand when they discover that Cort manufactures their favorite guitars in the O.E.M.
    I particularly wish I had heard voice 2 and split.

I think most Americans look at Cort as just another Far East Guitar manufacturer. If people learn how good these really are I am going to have to fight for em. Especially now they have a Fishman model. Its way easier to get a steal on Ebay when nobody knows what they are bidding on. BTW if anybody out there is looking to experiment in the active pickup world, an EMG loaded Cort kx300 can be found sub $500 from the factory on Ebay. Amazing deal in my opinion. The open pore finish is cool too...
