Had this guitar for almost 10 years now and I have to say it’s pretty nice. I’ve tried some Epiphones and Gibsons (a Studio I believe) but the Cort is so hard to beat. Just love it!
I am hearing this kind of story a lot.
hello, what difference is there in cr 250 and 300?
@@diegopallares7110 Mainly the pickups. The cr 250 comes with voiced tone vth-59 and the cr 300 with EMG 55s.
@@user-lw7kw1df6e if you are metalhead i suggest to bought 300
wat? is this a fairytale? how can koreans beat Gibsons?
Hey man. I just got a Cort CR300. Same specs compared to 250 but mine using EMG RetroActive fat55. It sounds killer! Sounds amazing and the neck is a little bit too fat for me. But with thoose narrow frets, it feels amazing. The actions is really low so you can shredd out the sh** out from that guitar. Very recommended guitar indeed. Nice playing dude.
Can't wait to upgrade from my CR50 to this one, so far I'm a fan of Cort
Hello, you already updated your guitar ?
yeah@@diegopallares7110
I love my caps like I love my men.... flaming
Great video as always Wombat
Another great review from the best reviewer on youtube.
richard small thank you, you're too kind.
Thank you for reviewing our great product!
No problem
Wombat Page Did you like it? :)
@@jeremiahensminger2079 I did. My reviews are always honest.
@@jeremiahensminger2079 You should take a look at my review of the CR Custom
@@jeremiahensminger2079 why the Cort Aero 11 is out of production?. It was so unique with its slim asymetric body.. : (
I own one cr250… ..and its really a great guitar… i really like it….. Dude…. Great review
Rip Wombat Page, I will miss you my friend.
Oh.wow. what happened?
@@jhkuno88 Cancer
Sorry to hear that.may he rip
Oh no, that's such a shame! 😥🙏🙏
This or the Epiphone Les Paul Standard? (The regular standard one, not the Plustop pro)
I think that comes down to money and Brand name. If you need the brand name and the money is not a concern then go the Epi. If you would like to save a bit of money and the brand name on the headstock doesn't matter then the Cort might be for you. Can't go wrong with either.
Wombat Page I already got the CR 250, just wanted to know which one’s better, but thank you for your advice ;)!
FretMaster this cr 250 guitar ,is it good guitar enough guitar or should I go for m600
Cee Cee Haven’t owned a M600, get the CR Custom. The CR Custom is an Epiphone Killer, it has Seymour Duncans in it, Kluson tuners and a great tuning stability TonePros bridge. The thing with Epis are that the electronics crap easily and they got a plastic nut, same with some expensive Gibsons while Cort uses a NuBone nut for their products.
I buy and ı love it. Cort cr 250 have very powerfull sound amazing❤
Yep...they make really nice guitars.
"The D on this one seems to be a little less pronounced." That's what she said.
NOICE!
Does anybody here know if this guitar´s top is just a thin veneer on top of plain maple or if it´s just veneer on top of the Mahogany wood without carved maple at all????? Thanks guys
I love my Cort TS200....good review thanks Wombat.
Sir i am very confused to buy cort cr250 and ibanez 370 fmz so which guitar should i buy??
It really depends on the music you want to play and where you are on your learning journey. Both guitars are well made. If you want to play blues and rock with some clean chordal stuff thrown in then the Cort would be better, it's more versatile. If you want to play shred, hard rock and metal than the Ibanez may be the right choice. If you are a beginner then I recommend the Cort because the locking style bridge on the Ibanez can be a handful for newer players. Hope this helps.
Que haces con la musica de intro del Eddie Warboy?
Hi Wombat, do you have any idea about maple/mahogany proportion on this guitar? Gibson used to have a 1/5 maple top
Unfortunately no. I assume it will be less than Gibson and somewhere in the range of Epiphone, due to the cost of the guitar.
Have this guitar for like 7 years now, looking for a new guitar, but im thinking in upgrade the mics of this one and do some mods, some recomendations for make this model better?
The usual stuff, pickups and tuners, maybe the nut and bridge. To be honest, it's pretty good as is. Not much on it that is in desperate need of upgrading.
Tuners, expensive nanoweb strings and seymour duncan pickups zebra and it will be a level up!!
Hey Great Buddy! Can you do a review on the CR 250 TBK? I hope you get it on your hands soon!
Same guitar as in this video, only the finish is different.
Wombat Page Yep, it is awesome, I don’t know why I asked this :P, sorry for taking your time :P.
@@americanmetalhead3954 All good mate. Great guitar.
Wombat Page Thanks, Yeah it is awesome!
Hey Wombat , what is the shape of the neck of this guitar ?
Which should I buy The cort x300 or cr250?? HELP ME!!!!
Two very different guitars. Think of it like this, if you want to play clean jazzy stuff, blues or rock buy the CR250. If you want to play rock, metal or shred like Vai or Satriani then buy the X300.
Can you review the cr230 I would like to see how the split coil works on a lp
Curtis Seagers haven't been able to get a hold of a CR230 yet but if I do you will definitely see it on the channel.
I am not trying to be mean because your over view of the guitar was thought out and well done, but, do you listen to your playing before posting? Your bends are not done within the pitch that it should be. And I don't know if you push the strings too hard or what but there are many notes that sound sharp. Like I said, not trying to be mean, it is just my observation.
Which guitar would you suggest is more value for money- Cort CR250, Cort CR300 or ESP ltd ec256 fm? Thanks
That's tough. Never played the CR300 but it's not a lot different from the CR250. Never played the LTD 256 but I own an LTD 300 and they are well built workhorse guitars. You can't miss with any of these choices. Pick the one you like the look of or the pickups you think suit your playing.
@@WombatPage Actually I am a complete newbie so I don't know much about the pickups and I'll have to order the guitar online so can't say much about the looks as well. Could you please guide me about the build quality amongst the three and also I would like the guitar to sound like Slash's tone. Please guide. Thanks
@@thataestheticguy6483 The build quality on all three guitars is excellent. If you want Slash like tones then go with either of the Cort guitars as their pickups are vintage-style pickups and the LTD pickups are hotter. If it's Slash you are after, have you considered the Vintage V100AFD. Vintage guitars are well made and the AFD in the name stands for Appetite For Destruction. It's inspired by the famous guitar used by Slash on that album. My son has one and it is pretty good.
@@WombatPage Thanks. I guess I'll stick to Cort then since Vintage V100 AFD isn't available in my country. Keep rocking
Hii dude
Heard both your reviews on cr 200 as well as cr 250.
I'm really stuck in between those two. The only difference I could find from your reviews was that associated with the flame maple top.
Is that the only difference between them?
I found the tone of cr 250 a little more warmer.
Are there any other major differences between them like quality of build like the electronics or stuffs?
I am really curious to know
Yes, the only real difference is the flame maple top. The CR200 has a maple top but because they put it under a solid colour it allows them to use a cheaper piece of maple instead of the more expensive flame maple on the CR250.
@@WombatPage which one should i go for?
@@WombatPage is there any difference in the default string gauge?
@@Muhammed_Shan Most manufacturers buy strings in large quantities and stick the same gauge on every guitar.
@@Muhammed_Shan Which ever one you prefer the look of.
Cort cr250 vs Ibanez grg170dx.. which one should I choose?
Those two guitars are two completely different beasts and meant for different things. The Ibanez has a slimmer faster neck and higher output pickups which are good for shred, hard rock and metal. The Cort has a comfortable, not too chunky neck with vintage-style pickups good for rock and blues. You can't really compare them against each other because they are different tools for different things.
How much difference is in cort 200 as compared to 250 please help 🥺🥺🥺
Purely cosmetic changes. Solid colours on the CR200 compared to veneer tops on the CR250. Same pickups and hardware on both guitars.
Which one should I buy ibanez grg 121 dx or cort cr 200
@@fingersofworship3751 Two very different guitars. Depends on what music you are looking to play. The Cort is more classic rock and blues aimed whereas the Ibanez is aimed more at the shred and hard rock/metal genres of music.
Awesome review! Can you review an EVH Wolfgang Standard someday?
El Duderino I would love to do some of the EVH stuff if I can get my hands on it. EVH are you listening??? Call me.
@@WombatPage he can't pick up calls anymore :(
Rock in peace Eddie \m/
Nice review !!
Btw, try to add footage video when you review pickup, dryer, bridge, etc.
And backsound.
I'm sorry for my bad english :D
One more
Try to compare the cheapest guitar, like this guitar and epiphone or whatever.
Keep making videos budget gear.
:D
hi there! - how will you compare CR250 to Epiphone Custom Pro on Silverburst?
It's not really a competitor to the Custom or Custom pro. I would say it's aimed to compete with the Classic or maybe at the Standard.
@@WombatPage got it. I had a chance to get secondhand mint Silverburst at the price of a new CR250.
@@sebizbir Not a fan of the silverburst paint scheme personally but the guitar is nice and plays well.
@@WombatPage any comparison to Harley Benton SC-450 or 500
@@sebizbir Whilst I hear some good things about Harley Benton, these are better. More inline with Epiphone Standards in quality.
Great review! How will it compare to Ibanez art120qa? Im between this cort, the m600 and the Ibanez. Thanks!
I always thought, personally, that the ART series was not quite Les Paul looking enough. Great guitar, well built, just didn't look right to me. I have reviewed the M600 and one of my students bought the guitar I reviewed right after I took it back to the store. Killer guitar and it would be my choice out of the three if it was my money.
wowww......great guitar
Would you recommend this guitar over the M600 that you also reviewed?
I don't think one is better than the other. They are different guitars that suit different tastes. They are both well made, play well and sound good.
@@WombatPage thank you very much, man!
@@david-eler No problem dude.
what difference is there in cr 250 and 300
Both are vintage inspired but the CR250 has a flame maple veneer and Corts own VTH-59 pickups. The CR300 has a plain maple top with EMG Fat 55 pickups.
R.I.P Wombat Page
You should check the new cort cr300..it got a emg fat 55 pickup set
I have never tried the Retroactive Fat55 pickups so that would be interesting.
Hey i need your opinion.. this guitar or the epiphone 1960 les paul tribute ???
The Epi is a great guitar and it has the Gibson 57 classic pickups which are the highest output pickup they make. If you are looking for that Les Paul PAF sound you wont really get it with those pickups. I have 57 Classics in my Gibson LP Traditional and they are good but they are hot where as the pickups in the Cort are more traditionally voiced. You can't really go wrong with either guitar but I do think the neck on the Cort is better but that's more personal preference that a quality thing. You really need to try out both and see which one feels better to you.
Can someone please tell me whether we can attach a guitar a tremolo stick to it?
Not easily. A tremolo/vibrato is actually a different bridge that requires routing and permanent modification to the guitar. This will need to be done by a qualified luthier and means digging out some of your guitars wood. Yes it can be done but is usually expensive and a permanent change.
what kind of a monster would attach a tremolo to a lp style guitar.
Whammy bar? Take care of that, if not good it will disturb your tuning. Better take directly a guitar with a BIGSBY. It's very reliable, never any problem with it.
Thank you Sir for making This wonderful Video.Sir can you tell me which guitar should be better for me?? ltd ec 256 or cort cr250. Please sir I am too confused. Need your help and Suggestion.
It really comes down to what music you want to play as both guitars are well built. You can play anything on these two guitars but it's all about the pickups. The pickups in the Cort are more vintage sounding so better for rock and blues. The pickups in the EC256 are higher output so better for hard rock and metal. Choose based on the types of music you are looking to play. Hope this helps.
@@WombatPage thank you very much.. I will play hard rock and littlle bit of metal.
So I will go for ltd as per your suggestion. Thank you again.
Would you please recommend a matching Amp/Box for this on stage
Marshall DSL 40c is great or Blackstar HT5. Depends on what you like the sound of.
@@WombatPage what about a good practice amp finder mustang 1 v2 or blackstar ID core 10 or...?
@@sadeksalah I haven't played the Fender Mustang but I hear good things about it. If your looking at the Blackstar ID:Core I would recommend the 20 instead of the 10. It just sounds a little better. I personally use a Blackstar ID:15 TVP for my practice amp and it's pretty good.
Good review, Wombat! Nice burst indeed!
650Thunderbird thanks mate.
You deserve more subs
Thank you. Feel free to share.
Estoy entre la Yamaha pasifica 112j - cort cr200/250 , cual es mejor ? En cuanto comodidad y sonido
Realmente te recomiendo la Cort, está Muy bien hecha, le puse cuerdas 0.10 la ajuste, y suena muy bien y es estable su afinación y entonación
Which amp?
Used in this video? Blackstar HT5
@@WombatPage Thanks man. it sounded killer.
@@SiddharthKarunakaran great amp
Talking is a waste of time. This guitar craves a good game.
Great review... Thanks 👍
Are you playing Gravity?
No.
Kindly review cr300
Haven't been able to get my hands on one yet.
Good review and video.
how would this sound with EMG Zakk Wylde signature
Much like any Les Paul with EMGs.
@@WombatPage alright, thanks dude i love your reviews
I hace this model with the EMG 57/66 Set.
It ROCKS.
Did this guybdie or something?
I dont like cheap stuff cort use..😅
Call
Donno bout the axe but this tone is yuck....
So is the player...
Omg. 10 out of tune notes in the first 7 seconds of playing. This is the worst beginning i ever saw, hopefully it will get better.. I will still. Listen to the review, playing is not most important.
Wow! This guy talks also but he did not play a single note. Very disappointed from this video
It sounds like a toy
Willy willy noise 😂
