Customer Reviews:

The finish is beautiful, the hardware arrived tight with no loose rattles, the neck is smooth and easy to work. This guitar has a nice feel and look as well as a good balance. A great value for the price. I've gotten compliments on how SEXY this axe looks already. I look forward to a ...

@TheSurfPunks: hey shit head you can just suck it!

[trevinor3]

look sweetheart, its very simple, cort needs labor to make product, if they dont have labor they screwed. So if everybody quits, game over! They'll have to negotiate - get it!

[trevinor3]

if they got fired, go work for another company, if cort taint got no workers they wont last!

[Metallimeister]

@trevinor3 Not so simple, they're getting guitars made in indonesia and india instead (you'll notice these shitty guitars on the market now under the ibanez and esp-ltd brands)

[onlysirdave]

thats the kind of trash right to work laws will get you after no unions!!!

[Huolx]

I love cort guitars, i will not stop buying them.

[tamna]

@Huolx

The slave masters at Cort thank you!

[Huolx]

@tamna Ur welcome ;)

[Metallimeister]

@Huolx You're just going to have a lot of shitty guitars

[elpolizei]

So sad...Now I fell guilty for buy a Cort guitar

[MrNatapat]

This is very sad to hear... Hope they will get justice.

[aivilik]

Market forces will solve this problem the way they solve every problem. Don't look to the government for help.....they never do; they just CLAIM they will...and then you somehow get screwed. Go figure.

Yeah travelling all the Anaheim fills my heart with pity for these workers. But I would advise them to engage a lawyer to represent them and claim compensation of sorts or get another job with another company. If only they could gather their resources and start another guitar making company it would be good, I would fully support them. Good luck good people.

[kd8ux]

Why don't these people start a new guitar company as Gibson employees did,as Guild employees did.Where did these poor workers get the money to travel around the world in protest ?

[mrblurblur2003]

So where are Cort guitars made now? That would be interesting to know. Is it Vietnam, Laos, Thailand or Indonesia?

[fogaoagas]

@mrblurblur2003 Indonesia i think.

[damrak1969]

And people say the USA is supposed to compete with these people. We can never compete with them because they don;t give a damn about their workers and will do anything to save money including sacrifice safety. People also bash unions in the USA. If it weren't for unions, corporation would have us all working in these types of conditions. This is the legacy of NAFTA.

[mrblurblur2003]

whether its a fender, ibanez, or gibson they are all guilty. 

[kellytttt]

i will never buy a fender after watching this! shame on you fender arse wips!

[Metallimeister]

@kellytttt ASwell as Ibanez and LTD. You'll notice that they have a lot of made in Indonesia guitars on the market now because the Korean guys were fired.

part 2: Nike shoes are manufactured in some of these low wage countries…I was recently in Home Depot and was looking at some wood clamps—US made were very good construction wise, but the Chinese made were so much cheaper that I had a patriotic melt down and could not decide. As a consumer I want a cheap product for a great price. As a patriot, I want “the best made in my country.”

[ichikaba]

Very difficult situation. I play mainly older 80’s G&L instruments, but we are all guilty of purchasing lower priced products because of the price. The problem is that many of the cheaper priced products can be very good quality—it’s a matter of perception, which can be greater than reality. We perceive that it’s a better quality product because of the brand name. Look for part 2 due to lack of character space.

[ITRIPOVERMYCOCK]

[redsox1024]

damn, this is disgraceful, especially since i own a cort

[nwkimnwkim]

한국인이지만 코트 안쓰겠습니다. 비디오 많이 퍼다날라야겠네요.

[fendermaestro]

Cort are a now recognised guitar manufacturer and this treatment of workers is nothing short of dishonourable.

All musicians must feel a bond with these people as they spend their lives making the instruements that we love & enjoy playing & I include Fender,Gibson,Ibanez etc as these companies are also involved & need to address the workers plight.

[kenan19]

Cort nice guitar

[rocks90s]

@kenan19 come cort is a veri bad guitar

[mooshoepork1990]

This is disgusting. I'm ashamed I own one.
