Click to expand.Unlike many other Japanese brands, Cort actually does have its own factory (some 1990's/2000's era Ibanez guitars were/are made there). It's in Korea. Your guitar (hard to say without pictures) could be from the Eighties up until this millennium. Quality could be from beginner (plywood) level up to something very well made. I agree that the serial will be of no help to you in dating. If you can get the thing open, you might be able to date it by pot codes or pickup serial numbers. Then again, maybe not.
Gonna stand up to the naysayers, here - give one a try. Matt 'Guitar' Murphey plays one, there's a Larry Coreyell (sp?) model (and I think Larry knows a thing or two.) - and a guitar player I work with (disclaimer - he's a luthier and mods everything he owns) has one of their Strat types and, with the above disclaimer in mind, it's one of the sweetest axes I've touched in ages. Y'know, I've got high-end Steinbergers, Parkers, Godins in my racks - what guitar is gettin' the most fingerprints on it these days? Pdf samacheer kalvi 9th std guide science for kids free.
A $170 Squire Affinity Tele I recently picked up. Bang for the buck is ridiculous, plays as good as any of the above. Yeah - I'm gonna upgrade the pickups and electronics pretty quick, but in a way that's the point- there's nothing precious about it, I can mod it to my hearts content without any concerns about 'value'. Thing plays like a champ - everything else is subject to my whims. Certainly you get something for the big bucks (see above list) or the 'brand' name - but one of the best things to ever happen to guitarists was the advent of CNC manufacturing. Reliable, repeatable quality from intrument to instrument, able to be produced cheaply en masse. A 'cheap' guitar in 2009 is light-years ahead of one from the 60's, or 70's.

So go find a Cort - get your fingerprints on it and see what YOU think. (And if you want to mod it, flag me and I'll put you in touch with my luthier friend.). I've played them and liked them ok. I thought the ones I played were well made, sounded good, and played well.
I've never owned one, I just played them in a local pawn shop. They've been in there a long time. I've played them more than I should have without buying them. I once grew tired of the gear I had and traded some with a friend. I wound up with a cort multi effects pedal that had been taken apart and all the wiring to the input and output jacks, battery connector, and head phone jack were all removed. Someone had been trying to work on it.
I looked up the Cort Co. On the Internet and wrote them a letter explaining that I hadn't actually bought thier product but I had one that needed to be repaired. I told them I had electronics experience and thought I could work on it myself if they would sell me a schematic. They never answered my e-mail. A few days later I got a schematic in the mail with a number to call should I need tech assistance.
