Justin Johnson, he of the the three string shovel guitar fame. (Look it up, pretty wild.) One of the few Dead songs that I liked. He gets a walking bass going with his thumb at times.

Interesting guitar. Not really a cutaway. Just a bevel on the treble upper bout. Not uncommon in the boutique guitar world. A compromise between getting better access and not losing space in the body. And mostly, it just looks cool.  |

Very nice, funky cover. I like it. Cool-looking guitar; Cort, so it must be affordable.

Now if the nut width was 41mm instead of 45mm I might be interested. |

Cort has gone somewhat upscale. Still, not a bad price, considering current prices of guitars in general.

Somehow I’ve always thought of Cort guitars (GSOs) as fitting into Zorro imitator category. I thought they were $99.98 at Walmart or something. When did they start making actual guitars?

They’ve been making good starter guitars for a long time. Laminates, but very playable and good quality finish at a good price. It’s like they’ve been slowly inching up the ladder of respectability. |

For years Cort made guitars under contract to be sold under better known names. They sold at various prices and some were quite good. |
