Description All I know is Ive never seen this kind of guitar before, I dont have any clue what it is worth, let alone what it is called. I searched eBay, posted a Yahoo Answers question, looked at the Cort Forum on their website (it is closed ), and I have had absolutely no luck on finding any information about it. It was a steal too, only costing $25! It plays excellent now that I replaced a bridge saddle and strings. I hope someone out there knows something about my Cort "mystery guitar". Thanks in advance.

cort has mostly been cheap copy off shore guitars selling for about $100, but in the late 80's and early 90's they attempted to become a 'real' brand. this looks like a higher level model with DiMarzio humbucker pickups and neck thru body desing, it is probably better for playing than for selling. the poor Cort name means most wont touch it, but if it plays and sounds really well (which I'd guess it does if the neck is good and what not) it's worth about $200, which is 4 times what you might pay for most used Cort guitars.
