Why is Cort called the best value in guitars?

Because Cort is the factory the loudest brands trust: instruments for Ibanez, PRS SE, Squier, and G&L are built on the same lines as Cort's own guitars. When you buy a Cort, you pay for wood, hardware, and craftsmanship — without the name markup. Examples: the G300 Pro won awards from guitar.com and MusicRadar for offering Seymour Duncan pickups and stainless steel frets in its price bracket; the KX600 Infinite delivers neck-thru construction and Fishman Fluence pickups — specs of instruments that usually cost one and a half to two times more. That's why reviews consistently recommend Cort as the smartest buy.

What is the META series and what does Muse have to do with it?

META is a joint development between Cort and the British workshop Menson Guitar Works, which builds Matthew Bellamy's (Muse) stage guitars. The series brings his instruments' signature solutions into production: a modified telecaster-style body, a built-in kill switch for the stutter effect, and an octave effect — everything that shapes Muse's recognizable stadium sound. It's one of the most accessible ways to get a real 'Bellamy guitar', and the artist himself promotes the series. A great choice for alternative, stoner, and experimental rock.

What bass guitars does Cort make?

Three main families. Action — the most popular starter bass: a versatile PJ configuration, comfortable neck, honest price. GB — jazz basses from accessible models up to the flagship GB-Modern with a 35-inch scale on the 5-string. Artisan (A, B, C series) — Cort's calling card among bassists: neck-thru and set-neck construction, Bartolini electronics and Markbass preamps, in 4-, 5-, and 6-string versions. The Artisan series has collected excellent reviews for decades, with sound and build quality competing with instruments twice the price. We'll match a bass to your genre — from funk to metal.

What genres are Cort guitars for?

The lineup covers practically everything. Earth and Gold acoustics — folk, pop, singer-songwriter material. G Series electrics are all-rounders for pop, rock, blues, and fusion. X and KX are modern metal: fast necks, powerful humbuckers, and multi-scale 7- and 8-string KX versions for prog and djent. CR with ClassicRocker pickups is golden-era classic rock; Hollow Body covers jazz, blues, and rock'n'roll. META is Muse-style alternative. Artisan basses sound equally confident in funk, fusion, and heavy music. Tell us your genre and we'll name specific models.

Do you offer delivery and installment payments?

Yes. We deliver across Ukraine via Nova Poshta within 1–3 business days, free from 4,000 UAH; consultation and pickup are available in Kyiv (15 Olzhycha St., Dorohozhychi metro). Before buying, you can play the instruments at our showroom and compare the series side by side. Installment payments via PrivatBank and monobank are available with no extra fees. We'll bundle a complete kit with your guitar — gig bag, strings, tuner, amp or combo — in one shipment. For music schools and institutions we work through Prozorro tenders and bank transfer. Tel. +380 (73) 060 01 01.

CORT

Q: What is Cort known for?

Cort (Cor-Tek Corporation) is a South Korean manufacturer founded in 1973 by Young H. Park, with roots going back to 1960. Today it's one of the world's largest guitar makers: factories in Korea, Indonesia, and China produce over a million instruments a year. For decades Cort has built guitars as an OEM for Ibanez, PRS SE, Squier, and G&L Tribute, while its own lines — Earth and Gold acoustics, G, X, and KX electrics, the META series, and Artisan basses — use the same experience and quality control at a noticeably lower price. SoundsGood is the official Cort dealer in Ukraine.

Q: Which Cort acoustic should I choose?

For a start — the Standard series (the AD810 dreadnought or AF510 folk body): honest guitars with a factory setup. A step up is the legendary Earth series with a solid spruce top: the Earth 60/70 for learning, the Earth 100/200 with richer tonewoods for confident playing. For the stage, take versions with electronics (F or CE in the name). Premium — the all-solid Core series, the Gold series with select tonewoods, and the Grand Regal. Tell us your budget and repertoire and we'll match a specific model — you can compare them live at our Kyiv showroom.

Q: How much do Cort guitars cost?

Cort covers every budget. The starter Standard acoustics and G100 electrics are first-guitar territory. The mid-range — Earth, G290/G300 Pro, X, GB basses — is where Cort delivers the specs of brands twice the price (solid tops, Seymour Duncan, stainless frets). The flagships — Gold and Core acoustics, the KX600 Infinite with Fishman Fluence, Artisan basses with Bartolini — are professional instruments at competitors' mid-range prices. Price depends on the series, tonewoods, electronics, and country of manufacture. Prozorro tender supplies are available. Check current prices and stock with our manager.

The Cort Story: From Pianos to One of the World's Largest Guitar Makers

The company's story begins in 1960 with piano importing (Soo Doh Piano), and in 1973 Young H. Park, together with American partner Jack Westheimer, founded the guitar operation that would grow into Cor-Tek Corporation. Today Cort's factories in Korea, Indonesia, and China produce over a million instruments a year — making it one of the largest guitar manufacturers on the planet.

The brand's main "secret": for decades Cort has built guitars as an OEM manufacturer for the world's best-known names — Ibanez, PRS SE, Squier, G&L Tribute, and more. The same experience, equipment, and quality control go into Cort's own lines — so buyers get "big brand" quality at a noticeably lower price. The company has collaborated with legendary designers: Ned Steinberger (headless guitars since 1984), Greg Curbow, Jim Triggs, and Hugh Manson.

Cort's modern flagships regularly collect awards from the guitar press: the G300 Pro with Seymour Duncan pickups and stainless steel frets was praised by guitar.com and MusicRadar; the KX600 Infinite offers neck-thru construction and Fishman Fluence pickups at mid-range prices; and the META series was created with Menson Guitar Works for Matthew Bellamy (Muse) — with a built-in kill switch and octave effect.

Main Cort Series

Earth & Standard (AD/AF) Acoustics — the People's Classics

Earth dreadnoughts with solid tops are among the world's most popular "first serious" acoustics. The Standard series is a reliable budget starting point for learning.

Gold, Core & Grand Regal Acoustics — Premium Sound

Select solid tonewoods, refined finishing, and proprietary top technologies. The Gold series set a new quality benchmark for Cort acoustics; Core offers all-solid bodies at a fair price.

G Series Electrics — the Universal Superstrat

From the accessible G100 to the award-winning G300 Pro with Seymour Duncan pickups and stainless steel frets. A do-it-all instrument for any genre — from pop to rock.

X & KX — Modern Metal

Aggressive styling, fast necks, powerful humbuckers. KX includes multi-scale 7- and 8-string models and the flagship KX600 Infinite with neck-thru construction and Fishman Fluence.

CR, Hollow Body & META — Vintage and Signature Collaborations

CR — golden-era classic rock with ClassicRocker pickups; Hollow Body — jazz and blues; META — the series developed with Menson for Matthew Bellamy (Muse).

Action, GB & Artisan Basses

Action — the most popular starter bass; GB — jazz basses up to the flagship GB-Modern; Artisan A/B/C — the signature series with Bartolini and Markbass electronics, loved by bassists worldwide.

Who Are Cort Instruments For?

Level	Recommended Series	What You Get
Beginners	Standard AD/AF, Earth 60/70, G100–G200, Action bass	An honest, factory-set-up instrument at first-guitar prices
Experienced players	Earth 100/200, G290/G300 Pro, X, GB	Solid tops, Seymour Duncan, stainless frets — the level of brands twice the price
Professionals	Gold, Core, KX600 Infinite, Artisan, META	Neck-thru construction, Fishman Fluence, Bartolini, 7/8-string multi-scale

Cort is the rational musician's choice: the same factories and standards that build guitars for the loudest brands, without the name markup. That's why reviews consistently call Cort the best value in the business.
