I always enjoy your videos. You have such good commentary and this channel is just pure enjoyment for me. Never disappointed!
Thanks for the great description of the neck shape and feel, I find that missing in many specs and overviews, yet it's one of the most important aspects of whether a guitar will work for each player or not.
Thanks for the Cort review! Thoroughly informative and enjoyable.
I love your content so much Phil, I’m looking forward to getting one of these or the GFAT series.
Wow, thanks Phillip, great review. That is the 1st review Ive ever seen for a Cort. Very cool guitar. Thanks again man!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Phil for the review. Those Cort guitars are really stepping up. Great review!
Hey dude, that inspection was super helpful. Thanks!
love the little riff twordz the end, sounds really funky the tone. pretty epic guitar.
nice review, we need longer jams when it sounds this good :)
Love the sound of this guitar... and it looks great too with great specs for the price. Nicely done Cort.
One of a thousand things I've learned from Phil's channel over the years, don't be afraid of a Cort product! I'd never heard of them before, now I know how much stuff they make and how well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from them.
Cort makes most brands guitars in Indonesia for other labels so many people are playing Cort manufactured guitars and don’t know it!
@@ChasVS391 Most made in indonesia guitars came from Cort, such as Ibanez, PRS etc

Back in the 80's, Cort was a cheap import brand you bought for your first guitar or bass when you couldn't afford a Fender or a Gibson. Not any more. I own a Cort Rithimic bass and it's the best bass I've ever owned. Top quality components and construction.
That's such a beautiful guitar! I have had a Cort for about 8 years and and I've to say I'm pretty happy with she! 🤘🏻
Your wife can be happy! 😂
Cool setup analysis and discussion. Thanks!
Of course we're going to hang out with you, man. You always make it so interesting. And that Cort guitar is pretty cool too.
That is a good looking and great sounding guitar. Love how they wired it.
"thanks for hanging out to the end" - thanks for the video, now I have another roasted maple neck guitar to look at!
Always great videos! Some close ups and fly bys of the guitar would be very cool.
Best guitar reviewer out there, really knows his stuff. I learn a lot from this channel. Thanks Phillip.
Thanks for a great review!!
Had to sub to this channel! Love the things Phil does to upgrade and mod in the videos. The content is amazing in all of them! 🎸 🤘

I have a Cort singlecut, multi-scale five-string bass and it's really good. Great build quality, gorgeous looking instrument. Cort is definitely doing good work these days.
I love your wall setup. Nice and clean, well organized too.
Side note, I put graphite in my nut slot of my Squier Jagmaster and can bend now without going out of tune almost at all! That trick really works.
ua-cam.com/video/zzeLf1iq4tY/v-deo.html
Love the sound of the outer coil split! I'm going to have to modify one of my blade switch guitars to a 5 way now.
Fun demo and review. Your improvent suggestions should be noted by Cort. Those pup combos are super.
Man, Cort has been putting out some pretty rad looking guitars lately.
“Rad” means “Radical”, which this is not....
It’s just a good guitar, not a rad guitar....
Well in South East Asia these kick any squire and a mid range fender guitars anyday
@@jimjimx5418 it's sick, bro
This is so true. I went on a guitar shop here in philippines and they sell a lot of Cort guitars and damn they are so good even for the price, you won’t believe on how cheap they are with so good quality, good hardwares and quality material used on every guitar
@@waneboklyngdoh7950 funny that squires were made by cort
Nice guitar, good sound, and with a properly functioning tremolo bar as well. Good job Cort. Thanks
very helpful video, i could take away lots of info from it.
have been using a cort "g 290 fat" for some years now and never regretted have spent money on it.
will acquire the gold coloured g300 in the next weeks.
excellent guitars with outstanding price vs. performance ratio.
Just bought a Cort Sunset 2 and I'm absolutely in love!
Phil's videos are some of the best in UA-cam !
Interesting split on the pups and to my ear you didn't lose any volume. Great review once again Mr. McKnight
Yep. I also noticed that.
Phil, I love the graphics showing the pick up modes. Thanks. Not a fan of Black guitars but aside from the color choice this is a nice one. I like the natural wood "non binding" as it really makes this look expensive and custom. Great sounds
Phil...thanks for showing these “under-the-radar” guitars...FGN is a brand I wish you could review...rock on my brother!!!!!
He brings those up on occasion.
Pretty cool, looking forward to the sharpen video
Nice Phil. That's a very nice fiddle. I bought a Trembucker for a guitar that didn't need it. Oh well. It still sounds beautiful.
Nice guitar, great job Phil. Thanks
Like those two inner coils setting, has that VH best of both worlds spank.
I’ve got to give Cort credit, I own a 1993 Ibanez EX guitar made by them that is still going strong. Quality instrument that has come through over the years, especially by my buddies that borrowed it.
The Cort was very interesting. Great review Phil.
ua-cam.com/video/zzeLf1iq4tY/v-deo.html
The '2 inner coil' setting is the guitar sound on every 80's pop song. 😉
Yep, GM's Faith. lol
SWEET REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Phil, looking forward to seeing a review on that Floyd Rose Del Mar in the background. Bit of an odd character, haven't ever seen one in person. Excited to see you review it!
Great video!
Mine arrived yesterday and so far, it's an excellent rock machine!!! Definitely a great choice for anyone who's looking for a feature packed super strat.
how's the neck, is it thin or thick or middle?
Cort makes awesome instruments, had a Jeff Berlin bass of theirs and it was really nice.
Their PRS' arent bad either
@@sheffieldlane5769 for sure, I do feel like you get more value/$ buying direct from them [Cort] where there's not an additional mark-up as with the PRS SE.
@@etronneutron9235 im not gonna argue with that
The tone of those 2 inner coils activated was super wicked
I bought a Cort G250 FR white recently and it's a killer Guitar!
Cost me only 200 Euros (had minor optical flaws, normally goes for around 300 Euros).
It has a bridge humbucker, middle and neck hot rails and a VH like flush to the body mounted Floyd Rose.
I play so many styles on it and I absolutely fell in love with this guitar.
Cort were already great 15 years ago but nowadays they're really going the extra mile.
No wonder PRS has their SE's manufactured by Cort.
I have a Cort sunset Jr, basically a Les Paul Jr clone,and it's a solid and reliable guitar 👍
Thats a nice one phil!
Been waiting this since they announce they announced it
Very interesting. Thanks
Cort guitars are quite popular down my neck of the woods. I only own one of their basses though; I like it a lot! Their electric guitar usually don't interest me, but the roasted maple neck has caught my attention!
Great video man! Please review the cort g290 fat ii if possible, cheers 🤘
I’m getting one. Recent Cort Convert. Took a trade for an old Samick Semi, the Cort GTD16 which has blown me away with the quality, playability and tone. HSS, Alnico pickups and a blow out switch.
I have a G290. It's insane. And a Cort Katana. Amazing company.
Would love to see a comparison between this and the Charvel Pro Mod DK 24 HH 2pt!
yes
Yes
This guitar sounds awesome I want it
that neck is stunning
SS frets are great...unless the ends are protruding. Much more effort to grind them down, smooth and polish.
Didn't see clearly if the trem is floating?
Looks great in black imho.
Basswood is a great tone wood.
That neck is awesome looking.
Thanks for an interesting video 👍😎
👍😎❤🖖
My first guitar was a Cort Strat copy, natural body, maple neck.....back in 1984! I think I all in with a small Peavey amp for under $300!
Good looking guitar !
Not my style guitar, but Phillip, I absolutely love the knowledge you throw in. Height of the frets, electronics, etc. I always learn something new, even if I am not interested in the item you're reviewing. You keep it interesting and further knowledge of guitars, man, thanks!
Oooooh I like it!
That neck is insanely beautiful
What a fun guitar!
I have the g290 fat and I certainly prefer the woods and look to it over the g300 but I would love to see some of the specs such as 24 frets, stainless steel frets and SD pick-ups added to my g290. And the g290 LE had this extra Suhr like lower horn cut away that I'd be keen to have also. Its like they took all of my preferred specs and spread them out across 3 guitars
second! i am really interested in this model! a cort g-series with 24 frets!
ua-cam.com/video/zzeLf1iq4tY/v-deo.html
For a few notes there, I thought you were headed into the opening guitar for Faith (George Michael). lol I was so surprised...then I realized I was mistaken. lol
Gorgeous guitar...sounds like an $800 guitar. Very useful review. Thanks!
ua-cam.com/video/zzeLf1iq4tY/v-deo.html
You rock kind sir.
Roasty, toasty. Like the wiring. Thanks, Phil.
Cort has always made good guitars. I had a Samic SG back in the day that was a great guitar. The problem with Cort is they don’t have any big box and very few independent store distribution. Other issue is for $750 you can get a Charvel, Fender, Jackson, PRS or other “name brand” guitars. Cort needs to partner with Zzounds or American Music for distribution or even becoming the house brand like Michael Kelley or Harley Benton. Harley Benton has circumvented distribution issues by being incredibly priced, which in the buy to play retail environment we’re in now has helped their branch become a household name for guitar players.
I have a 2011 mim strat, and it's a solid guitar. My friend has a Cort strat from around the same time, and it puts my guitar to shame in every way
Which model?
That looks awesome for SUHR 😉
Pro tip, if you use a pencil to lube your nut, get a soft lead pencil from an art supply store. Usually labeled 2B, 3B or 4B.
I like that 5-way switch better than push/pull coil splitters.
Love cort guitars
I like electric guitars and have a few of them but one thing I don't like about electric guitars is how you have to go through an inspection and setup process with every guitar you get. With something like a keyboard you just plug it in and play, which is nice.
I'm not that sold on the sounds, at least through youtube. But that neck and the overall spects seem fine to me. I'm glad Cort jumped into the fusion superstrat boat.
This thing sounds nice.
I have a PRS SE Custom 24 made I bought in 2019. It's made by Cor-Tek. Awesome guitar -- It the PRS SE Custom 24 Whale Blue Poplar Burl top. There are some of these still on Reverb for anyone interested
Nice guitar!
The out singles and the full humbuckers are my sound :-D
That versatile pickup wiring is used on more and more guitars. I believe the inner / outer coil setting works best with 24 fret guitars because the pickups are closer together than on 22 fret guitars. I don't understand why PRS doesn't implement it on their SE guitars.
Well I guess this is the guitar I saw in the other video. Impressive specs from a budget guitar
I had a Cortez les paul copy when I was much younger in the late 70's thru early 80's and that guitar was killer. I unfortunately had to sell it during a bit of a financial struggle. That guitar played and sounded great. it was sort of light for a les paul style. The cap was carved, it was crowned and bound nicely and I'm thinking it was a bit chambered under the top. The guitar had incredible sustain. I read somewhere that Cortez was in fact the first incarnation of Cort guitars. I'm not sure that's true but that was a nice guitar. I have tried to buy another but when ever i stumble onto one it's either over priced or not in very good shape. I could buy a used CR series used in great shape with a case for 300 or less.
It's a very nice sounding guitar no question.
I remember seeing those Cort ads with Matt “Guitar” Murphy of Blues Brothers fame in the 80’s and 90’s. They were so cheesy at the time, being mostly traditional style guitars that everyone loves now.

Phil, can you link to your guitar strap that includes the releasable clip on the guitars?
I used to own a Cort S-3000. I should have never parted with that lovely guitar
Yep I had a Cort Jazz bass once that I stupidly sold lol we have all been there bro!
From Leo: I took two CORT guitars in on trade. An X2 Vyper and an M600. Both are pretty good guitars.
Pretty amazing tone selections! What amp did you use for the gain setting towards the end of the video?
Hey Phil super cool guitar and a super cool review there but you didn't talked much about the bridge and trem system how is it? Is it able to stay in tune after flutters and all that kind of stuff?
The lower e string tends to slip out of the fretboard. Many have got this manufacturing defect. Worth noticing it when you buy
Great video
Do you have any comparison between this and the g290 fat please
Hey Phil, I just picked up a cort 300x body which I’m modding out. The body was completely stripped of parts so no control cavity plates. I’ve searched every where for them with no luck. Planning on crafting my own out of wood. Would there be a way you could email me trace template I could print out to use as a guide? I know your super busy just a shot in the dark. Thanks love the content, always learning new things.
I believe you will find that the overall fit & finish along with several other features will be nearly identical to the Larry Carlton Sire S7. The S7 has a bit beefier neck though. I can't wait until you review the S7 that you recently ordered.
Have you ever played a JB pickup in the bridge position of a Les Paul? I want to change out the 490t pick up in my Les Paul tribute and I'm on the fence between the JB and the super distortion.
Yup, my birthday is later this month. Dad needs a new guitar. 😌
I've been thinking of buying a new guitar, and Cort certainly came to mind as they seem good value, so I think this video has tipped the scales! I have two Epiphone Les Paul (a Standard and an Ultra-II), so I'm in the market for a single coil guitar with a tremolo and Cort's look pretty good. Any feedback on how that whammy bar performed or if it would be a good idea to replace it eventually?
Hey there, Phil! Hope you are doing alright!
Can you compare the neck carve and fretwork to the Harley Benton Fusion II (also made by Cort)? Does the string tree affect tremolo return to pitch (the G290 models don’t have one... why did a Cort decide do put it on this one?)
Thanks for your great work, Philip! The G300 is about the same price as the X700. Why would you choose one over the other?
