  1. Thanks. I had already read that article and done some other internet research, but haven't found much. I was hoping maybe you had some other sources that could give me some good reading material. If it's out there, I sure haven't been able to find it. Cort's USA website doesn't tell you much, and I've never been able to get the Korean one to work properly. Westheimer/Cort's attention is focused on their OEM customers, whose production far outweighs those branded as Cort. They seem to be much more active as a brand overseas - particularly in the UK and Australia, but very much under the radar in the US. Even Parkwoods, sold as part of the Cort family elsewhere, are run as a separate operation in the US, and sold only through the GC/MF123 family. Cort US seems to be much more about the electrics than the acoustics. FWIW, I love my solid-top Earth GC. Just a fine little guitar.
  2. Thank you! Michael Wright wrote the definitive history of Cort and Cortez for Vintage Guitar Magazine. The introductory part, which is the pre-Cort background, can be found online here: http://www.vintageguitar.com/brands/details.asp?ID=127 The actual history of Cort as a brand was begun in the January 2001 issue of VG. Part 2 followed in March of '01. The third and final part appeared in April. All of these back issues of VG are available from www.jklutherie.com. That's where I purchased mine. That's one good-looking guitar, BTW. Enjoy!
  3. I've got tons of info on Cort and Cortez. Change your offensive sig and I might consider sharing it.
