nice bedroom rocking! You really enjoy it. Guitar sounds nice. My very personal opinion on CorTec or Cort guitars: instruments are for sure good for its price, but how CorTec treats its workers in Indonesia/Korea makes me think. I recently bought a CorTec PRS and once heard about the shady company practices it makes me shiver all the time I pick up my PRS.
Yes, it's an amazing guitar! You are right about CorTec's shady past and guitar players should probably care more about this. I see a growing concern about a sustainable and socially fair supply chain in food and clothing, but not as much for guitars and music industry in general. We just always assume that, since musical instruments are relatively more expensive than consumer goods, than people producing it must be paid well and work under decent conditions, but this is not necessarily the case. I do hope that CorTec improved this since their 2010-2012 law suits...
hello my friend, i dont know if you re gonna answer it. but what about the build quality? sharp fret endings? tuning stability, i checked the prices and Cort is really... cheap? at that price point, i know an epiphone guitar woud definitely not be good cause i ve tried them. what do you think about the general quality build? i am absoulutely obsessed with honeyburst finishes and to be honest this looks much better then both gibson and epiphone classics. its just makes me nervous because its 1/2 of epiphones!
This one was honestly really good 👍🏼 it's obviously not a high-end guitar, but for the price it didn't have any build quality issues and was really playable and stable tuning. I wouldn't hesitate in that point. I hear a lot of mixed opinion on Epiphone build quality depending on the model and manufacturing year/location.
@TheBedroomRocker1 thank you for the answer Schecter is also Real good when it comes to affordable guitars Any idiot can build a great guitar for 1000 dollars, i got omen elite and tuning stability, playibility iş really good
Hi Alan, Thanks for the nice comment! To be honest, I am not 100% sure. The guitar was lent to me with batteries and I think they leave it with battery in the store as well, so that should not be a problem at all. Maybe if you're going to store for a long period without playing, then better to take it off, but for everyday use this should not be necessary
Good video! A question about your sound chain: which cabinet (or Impulse Response) speakers do you use? And among Greenbacks G12M, Vintage 30 and the Creamback M65, which do you suggest for a sound versatile for various genres (from pop to rock with mid-gain)? I know it depends on many factors, but those 3 speakers are very famous and largely used, especially Greenback and V30. And they have some noted "issues" (high end fizziness for G12M; harsh mediums for V30, and mixed reviews for Creambacks M65)
Thanks Martin! I use all of them as IRs quite a bit 😅 I have a Harley Benton G112 Vintage cab with a V30, but I'm replacing it by a G12H-75 Creamback. It's just more convenient to record with IRs and it sounds better as I don't have fancy mics nor preamps nor micking technique... G12M and G12H Greenbacks are probably my favorite and have the most authentic voice for 60s-80s rock, but they sound their best on 4x12s. I actually haven't tried the G12M65 Creamback, but the G12H-75 Creamback is amazing. It's similar to a G12H Greenback, but fuller and bassier. It's a great all-round speaker and excellent for 1x12 or 2x12s. In theory, I don't like V30s as much, but very often they come out surprisingly well in a mix, so I also end up using them. In the intro I have the rhythm guitar with a 4x12 greenback on the left and a 4x12 V30 on the right to make it sound huge. Finally, the one I used in the rest of the video is the G12-65 Heritage. It's kinda overseen by many ppl, but a really amazing speaker for a modern blues rock voice (ppl commonly pair it with Dumbles) in 1x12s and 2x12s. Nice and tight bass and a singing mid-range also full of detail on the trebble but somehow always smooth. Gotta try them all and see what works for each amp and set-up 😅
@@TheBedroomRocker1 A very detailed answer, thanks! 😄 I'm going to buy my first Valve Head, probably a 50w Italian boutique mono-clean amp head (Gurus Cicognani, obviously used and less priced), and I would like to match it with a 2x12 cab: my idea is to buy an Orange PPC 212 Open Back with V30 and a Palmer 212 with Greenbacks G12 25M. And try them alone but above all in my band (we can do rehearsal again because the Covid-19 situation in my region is under control at the moment), and then I would send one of those two cabs back to the famous German site (which has a very good return policy). My worries are about all the possible combos: I have listened that "Greenies" have a slightly treble fizziness and I have read that they are better with closed cabs because they don't have much bass frequencies, but I like the idea of having an open back for a sound more distributed in the room/stage. I don't like the harsh sound of Vintage 30 but, as you have already written, they are awful alone but in the band mix they cut through well. The Creambacks are my favorite in the videos online, and there is a Palmer unloaded cab to match with them, but they will be a bet for me, because Greenbacks or V30 are so mostly used that maybe you can go wrong (If you don't like one of them, probably you like the other ones). I'm so undecided... My goal is having clean sound with the amp head, and distortion with pedals, with a sound more vintage than modern, but with not too many trebles and high frequencies. Do you have any suggestions, after this poem? 😁🎸😆
That is a hard one and I'm afraid I cannot help you much on this. This was my first time playing a Cort guitar and I was really impressed with the quality, sound, and cost-benefit. I own an Epiphone Sheraton II from about 15 years ago and it's a decent guitar, but I'll definitely give the edge to the Cort. I haven't played new Epiphones in a while though and they made several improvements, specially pickups. The best is to go to a local music shop and try them both. If you can't do it, then maybe try big online retailers that have a money back guarantee kind of policy. Best luck finding you dream Les Paul!
@@bladerspirit8923 I have not seen not tried the CR280. I could not find it at Cort's website either. From what I found on the internet, the CR280 seems to be the former flagship of the Cort Classic Rock CR line (the new flagship is the CR300). I could not find much info on it, but the CR280 does not seem to be equipped with the active EMG pickups like the CR300. Maybe they upgraded the pickups and increased the number?
Thanks for the comment and sorry for my late reply. I haven't tried the Ibanez, but generally they have excellent cost to quality ratio. They are quite different guitars though. The Cort CR is a more modern take on the Gibson Les Paul design and sound so it's a bit more classic (CR = Classic Rock). The Ibanez is more of a super strat with a very slim and fast neck, high output pickups, and floyd rose. If you're into heavier music styles or shredding then that's usually the way to go even though they still be quite versatile. They're too different to say which one is the best. Try playing them both to see which playing feel you like the most or watch more reviews to see if you have a clear preference on the sound
@@TheBedroomRocker1 Thanks for replying to my comment and giving me the adequate info. Actually, I'm more into stuff like GNR, Metallica, Poison etc. so I think this would be a better option
The Bedroom Rocker what happen if i dont plug the battery? can i still play it? sorry if this sound like a dumb question but i never use an active pickup haha
@@fansphill9856 Yes, they need a battery to operate hahah it is indeed a bit weird and it was my first time to try one. Active pickups have an in-built preamp that typically increases the output and shapes the sound. Active pickups are usually VERY popular for metal and shredders and EMG is super popular for these styles. That is why I was very surprised to see an active EMG pickup based on classic low output Gibson PAFs in this guitar. They sound pretty good though!
Hey, I haven't tried that amp and the Arena 2000 but it definitely sounds like a good setup. However, if you want to play with other people (specially a loud drum set) you gonna need a bigger more powerful amp. In this sense, I'd recommend that you check out the Boss Katana 50 Mk II and see if that makes sense to you. It also has some built-in effects, so you could spare the Arena 2000 for now. The Cort CR300 also has active pickups, which is not super common on a beginner guitar. If you have the chance, also try out the CR250 or others (they should be similar quality, cheaper, and use regular passive pickups that don't need a battery to operate). I hope that helps you! Best luck on your guitar journey
Hi Erick, I set the EQ as I normally do. For the rhythm in the intro I used the V40 Voice II + mid-kick (more mid-focused and compressed like a Fender tweed or early Marshall JTM45) with the gain cranked and the EQ almost flat. For all other sounds I used the Nux Cerberus into the V40 Voice I (high headroom warm cleans) with the bass rolled off (2-3) mids in the middle (4-5) and treble set up high (6-7). I think the pickups are quite well balanced. They definitely have strong mids and sound fat, but I don't think it's overpowering nor lacking bass or treble. Note that this pickup is quite different from most EMG pickups. They're mostly known for higher gain pickups for heavy metal, but this one is really trying to imitate low output late 50's Gibson PAF humbuckers
Hmm. Seems like my video won't be at the top of the search in a short while. It will be your video replacing mine. Quality review keep it up. How to play guitar, which books, DVDs or website subscriptions did you use?
Thanks for the nice comment mate! I had classes for several years to reach a good level and then I've been pretty much on my own for the past 15 years and learning some stuff here and there. I've been using True Fire lately. There are some good courses there for all levels and they come with examples and notes and tabs, so it's nice and easy to practice. I've been digging one from Matt Schoffield... I think the name is playing the changes. The most important is to always play, not be shy or afraid and play with more experienced musicians that get you out of your comfort zone 😎 best luck!
That is a tough decision hahah if you have the chance to try both, it is definitely the best way as there are always variations even within guitars of the same model. Although I have not tried the CR250, the CR300 is definitely better value. Here in Europe it is only 40 EUR more expensive than the CR250 and it comes with the EMG pickup set worth 175 EUR. It does not have the flame top and it only has this color option, but to me it looks awesome with the semi-gloss finish imitating an aged nitrocellulose. Do you usually play active pickups or heavier rock and metal tones? Then I'll go for the CR300. If you dislike active pickups or if you already have a favorite pickup from other brand that you plan to install there anyway, then I'd get the CR250. If you buy it from Thomann (links in the description) you get a 30-day return period, so you can order both and keep the one you like the most. Best luck!
@@TheBedroomRocker1 Well it wpuld be my first active pickup experience. I have an epiphone LP100 (passive pickups) and i´m selling it for something better. I love the amber flamed top CR250 but the CR300 looks so elegant jaja its like a smoking and cr250 its young
Thanks for the comment. It's hard for me to say as I haven't tried the CR250 yet. They should be very similar and, as far I as can tell, the main difference is that the CR300 has high-end branded (EMG) pickups, while the CR250 have their own "in-house" pickups. I really like the vintage voicing of the CR300 pickups, but again, I haven't tried the CR250 to know how they sound
Hey, I feel it is more like a D-shape, although Cort does not officially report this. It has a nice grip to it... it's a medium-sized neck that will feel familiar and comfortable for most players
@@richardx4456 sorry, but I really don't know... My guess is that they have the same neck. The main differences are the thicker maple top and the active EMG pickups on the 300
@@TheBedroomRocker1 Hi, I own an CR300 and CR200. Neck of CR200 ist slightly thinner...which you only recognize in direct comparison. It is far away from significant. I like thin necks and enjoy both - great instruments!
@@tbx2011 Hi! How is the body thickness compared to CR200 is the the same or more? I have a CR250 but would love to get a CR300 if the body thickness is more! Can you please help out! Thanks!!
I had the luxury to try this out yesterday amidst the pandemic alongside the G260, another Cort model which is a strat style guitar with a roasted neck and PAF humbucker on the bridge man they were both great guitars, the finish was flawless, the frets were smooth and the tuners were amazing, like I couldn't really see any flaws with both of them if you have the means go try it out, I'm leaning towards the strat though since its way more ergonomic and it has imo a clearer sound (because y'know its a strat) but hoo boy if I really do have the means I'd pick them up both
Thanks for the detailed comment! Yes, those are a nice piece of craftsmanship. Strats with bridge PAF are the ultimate versatile guitar. I'm gonna see if I can check the Cort one out. Thanks for the tip!
That is a difficult one and I've never owned active pickup guitars to be more precise. I've read that it takes about 1000h of playing, so that depends a lot on how much you use it. If you're not a touring guitarist, it should easily last 4-6 months or more
That guitar sounds great, but Ive never liked Les Paul style. I prefer Superstrat style like the Schecter I bought a few moths ago (you can check it on my channel If you want jaja)
Great guitar and great playing keep up the great work

@@tbx2011 Hi! How is the body thickness compared to CR200 is the the same or more? I have a CR250 but would love to get a CR300 if the body thickness is more! Can you please help out! Thanks!!
I had the luxury to try this out yesterday amidst the pandemic alongside the G260, another Cort model which is a strat style guitar with a roasted neck and PAF humbucker on the bridge
man they were both great guitars, the finish was flawless, the frets were smooth and the tuners were amazing, like I couldn't really see any flaws with both of them
if you have the means go try it out, I'm leaning towards the strat though since its way more ergonomic and it has imo a clearer sound (because y'know its a strat) but hoo boy if I really do have the means I'd pick them up both
Thanks for the detailed comment! Yes, those are a nice piece of craftsmanship. Strats with bridge PAF are the ultimate versatile guitar. I'm gonna see if I can check the Cort one out. Thanks for the tip!
How often that you need to recharge or change the battery?
That is a difficult one and I've never owned active pickup guitars to be more precise. I've read that it takes about 1000h of playing, so that depends a lot on how much you use it. If you're not a touring guitarist, it should easily last 4-6 months or more
That guitar sounds great, but Ive never liked Les Paul style. I prefer Superstrat style like the Schecter I bought a few moths ago (you can check it on my channel If you want jaja)
Boomer playing.
