Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

View attachment 70210View attachment 70211

I had this posted with another guitar that got sold so I figured I'd give this girl her own page along with a new lower price...

The guitar is a Cort hollow body jazz guitar & it sounds amazing! The guitar will come in a molded Diamond hard case, the case is in great shape and worth $100-$120 by itself easy! The Cort is currently completely stock, if I were keeping it I'd probably toss in a 59 set or something comparable but as is, its already one great sounding fiddle! It sorta bridges that gap between electrics & acoustics & for a Bibsby guitar it stays in tune pretty darn well too! If you don't use the trem much you shouldn't have too many tuning issues at all...

I cleaned out & lubed the nut with graphite & gave it just a quick setup. The action on it is great (nice and low) and there is zero fret buzz, NONE!!! Like I said I did give it a quick setup so it was playing properly again but I'm sure if you were to put a little time & effort into it she would only get better & better!!!

Great way to get a very nice (ugly colored) hollow body if you want one but don't want to spend a fortune on something you're probably only going to be playing once in a while? This could also potentially be an amazing project guitar for all you tinkerers out there, when I look at it potential is all I see but I don't have the funds to take it on right now....

$275 shipped, P.P. gift or add 3.5% for fees, lower 48 only unless you want to deal with the extra shipping costs....

It's a Cort Yorktown...

Apparently it's also under priced according to Reverb, most seem to be in the $300-$375 range without shipping or the hard case...
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

Excuse me, the ones that have Bigsby's on them are trending @ around $400 used.... Guess I probably should have done some better research before pricing it??? The guitar belongs to a friend who owes me money for a Tele I sold him & whatever I can get for this after shipping is money that he doesn't have to pull out of his pocket. Anyway, priced as is it's a steal of a deal for sure!!!
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

LOL, this kid needs to sell this thing, he owes me money!!!

So we are going to $200 O.B.O. with Diamond hard case + actual shipping & I guess Ill even eat the PayPal fees...

Like I said " he needs the money" so he can give me it, so you should really buy this, LOL!!! In all seriousness it's a great bargain, he's basically giving it away! I'm downsizing & its just not my kinda fiddle but there's a lot of potential here for a awesome project guitar!!!

Even cheaper, cheap guitar bump....

Can't believe someone hasn't snatched that up yet.

I can't wait to see what you do with it once you put a little bit of time and money into it!!! Oh, and when you get it, & it's awesome, you can come back online and brag to everyone who passed over this amazing deal about how you got the worlds best guitar for next to nothing!!!

Okay, perhaps not the whole world but it is the best hollow body in my house!!! Of course it's also the only hollow body in my house??? Lol, you're going to love it!!!
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

Well of course on these pics it doesn't look so orange.

Enjoy it, WisconsinSG.

I told you I would put up some better pictures for you brother, it really doesn't photograph well. I guess "Blood Orange" is the most telling name for this color??? It's roughly the same color as a Blood Orange after its been juiced or pealed....

Even though these are a little sharper and a lot less pastel looking you really have to see the guitar in person to appreciate the finish. No matter what I did with my camera or the lighting I couldn't get any pics that really showed its true character. If it was a $1000+ guitar I would have brought it to a photographer friend of mine for the pictures. I'm sure he could have gotten them perfect and would have done it for free but I didn't want to bother him over something this inexpensive?

How can I put this?
I've retired my old 60's SG and hung it on the wall.... So I don't live in Indy anymore and no longer play my old SG either. Should I get a new screen name?��
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

Were you thinking of putting in a bid, Not Cardio?��

Nah, that's OK. It still is more orange than I'd prefer, plus I think it's a little thinner than what I'm looking for.

If I had some extra cash to just play with, beyond what's kind of on my list, I might go for it. Great price, looks like it's in super condition. But of course I'd want to immediately swap pickups and who knows what else, and I really don't need another extra project right now, and I can't afford to get something that I'm just going to have to put on the back burner for the forseeable future. The back burner's already full. Overflowing, actually. Who knows, if you pass on it I might change my mind, but I doubt it. Go for it, man.

So what are you playing now? Or will we have to call you WisconsinCort?
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

Hey, ND. (ND, Indy, hmm, weird) How about putting up a side pic just for grins so I can get an idea of how deep it really is?

It is a block inlay, and I do love me some block inlay...

Is that all gold hardware?

I have a few to choose from... and one or two more I'm working on. Some might say I'm a greedy barsteward but not compared to others on here. I'm still working on a new name and btw I don't come from Indy or Wisconsin or even the US of A.
 
Re: Cort Hollow Body F.S.!!!!

Wow, quite the collection. I'd love to see them individually. Very unique group. I dig the Stratenbacker. What pickups are in the Sheraton?

Ha, identical strat bodies, both HH & trems, just that one has a tele neck. And people think I'm obsessive and picky. Different pickup combos though, right?

And yeah, I remember that you're a feriner. (Hoosier for foreigner)

Block inlays, all gold hardware including the stock puppies, & I'll try & get you another pic or two in a little bit. Actually that reminds me, Wisconsin Not S.G. anymore, did you want those gold beauty rings? You can have them for free and I think they'd look great on whatever pickups that you decide to install in the Cort, the'll also fit any Gibson sized humbuckers which is what you would want for this guitar...
