This guitar is by far better than many Gibson guitars that I have played. The fit and finish on it is immaculate and it plays well and was very easy to set up.
@@Chinaguitarsceptic your right about the resonance on this guitar, it does just ring through, I tried an epiphone les paul first this very day, then tried the Cort 300, and I wanted the Cort there and then! I just found it more playable, it's the balance of the guitar as well, I have a number of stratocaster and telecaster guitars but I find I'm picking this guitar up all the time, I love it.
I've just bought one,my neighbour next door was the roadie for ac/dc on there back in black world tour and for those about to rock world tour,showed it him and he was very impressed..Thanks for the vid mate you make it sound awesome ❤🎸🤘
This and the other video persuaded me to buy this guitar. Checked it out when it turned up and low and behold I bought the actual guitar in the video. 😲
As a 53 years old guitar player I played everything from junk to Gibson Custom Shop. Recently I put my hands on this Cort CR 300, and started to play it in my cover band... Hands down, this is the best LP copy that I ever had, and I had a lot ( Burny, Tokai...) of them. Real rock'n'roll guitar, thanks to the EMG Pups. Try one !
Hi Mike ! Excelent video, you help me a lot, and now i´ll definetly buy a cort. But i have one question that you maybe can help me to answer. I prefer by far the gold look of the cr200 over the cr300, do you think that if i choose the cr200 (because i love how it seems in gold painting) i loose to much quality sound? Sorry for my english, greets from Colombia !
Thanks buddy glad i could help. I think every guitar is unique and ideally you should try both first of you can. I bet you can find a 200 that you love mate.
Fabulous review - congrats to you and your talented twins. Aprecciate the epic hard work you put into these. And boy, that sustain on the high gain chord!
Mike, how far is the CR300 from a Gibson Les Paul Standard? Does it worth to spend 5 times the price of a Cort CR300? I love Cort as brand, my first guitar was a M520 10 years ago
I love my Cort CR 200 GT. She looks harmless and lovely but is also a real monster. The CR 300 Aktiv is an interesting guitar but I don't like the outfit.
Hi Mike its a nice guitar I liked the mid gain sounds I think Cort have given people something a bit different with the active pickups with vintage type tones I would def like to try one out and really experiment with the volume and tone controls thanks mate!
Sounded great! Who knew your other 4 brothers could play so well 🤣 The only thing I don’t like on the Cort is the cutaway. It just looks a bit weird to me. BUT, I got past the weird horn on my Agile so I can get on with this one too I’d guess. If it’s fit and finish and playability is as good as the looks,it appears to be a fine instrument. God bless and rock on bro 🤘
I think the finish is great. I really don't know if ide like the emgs , but it looks & sounds killer. Love the show per usual keep up the great work bud.
I am actually just looking at Cort CR250, more for the look (the EMG pickup looks a little weird on a les paul). Your video made me considering the CR300, imo it looks way better in your video than in the cort website photos. What do you think would be the benefit of CR300 over CR250?
I'm very glad you liked the video and the cr300. In all honesty as i have not tried the cr250s i am not qualified to say but i did try out a lot of the court range at namm this year and i liked them all, so you can't go too far wrong my friend.
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Thanks. So much lighter than a Les Paul. Why would that be do you think? I've also been looking at an Epiphone LP Classic Worn as I prefer satin necks, but Gear4Music says their one weights almost 12.5 lbs!!! 😱
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Oh thanks! You mentioned it to be thicker than the Chibson in your chibson killer video but not the exact thickness but you specified for the Vintage v100 as 2inches. Btw personally which one did you prefer the feel of Cort or Vintage! Thanks!
thx to you i just bought this guitar yesterday and a boss katana amp the sound is really good you are right tho it is a little bit hard to get the clean sound but with the boss katana i can just plug it into the boss tone studio ngl for the price i think this is a very good guitar
I bought Cort cr300, I love les Paul model, I've just heard another Les Paul, 'string', I heard the second one has less brilliant, stronger than Cr 300, even 'string' is cheaper than Cort CR 300. So I wanna my Cort CR 300 sounds more fat, aggressive maybe.
Rest in Peace beautiful soul.

Wow! this guitar is beautiful and sounds very nice!

Wow! You'll know if it was because I put a cgs sticker in the box with it 😊🙏👍
Best review of this guitar Ive found ! Im waiting for a CR300 with more modern look this classic one aint my thing. Make it happen Cort plx!
Thank you

I was heartbroken to see it go back today as i agree with you. I really loved it, but i can't keep every guitar i review. 😔
Cr300 is my second cort guitar I have also m600 AVD never going to sell them:) (i have more expensive guitar as well).
So glad you like them
if they put better quality magnets like Seymour or Gibson how far would the guitar be from the original Gibson les Paul in your opinion?
Killer demonstration and playing Mike. I think your compositional skills are underrated. That Cort just sings. Well done!
Thanks buddy that's very kind. Glad it did justice to the guitar
i love the sound of that neck pickup!
It's sweet and sings like a bird

sounding great, Mike! Cort for the win!🐰❤️🎸🎵🤝✌️
Fabulous review - congrats to you and your talented twins. Aprecciate the epic hard work you put into these. And boy, that sustain on the high gain chord!
Thanks so much. My twins are much more talented than me! So glad you enjoyed it buddy
It's a really beauty insteument.
It's lovely mate
Wow that sounds awesome and looks great!!!
It's a nice guitar buddy. 🎸
Pocket pod ultimate tone killer
Great demo. I have cort G290 FAt which never let me down. Great video and hopefully you may do more video relate to Cort high end guitars.Thanks .
Thank you very much I really hope to in future
Great demo, really impressed with the sustain and your high gain playing. You should shred more often. 🤘
Thanks so much mate :-)
Another brilliant demo. Thank you Mike, the work you put into these videos is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much 😊🙏👍
CGS x2. After see your rewiew, i buy it. I’m waiting it (Next monday) i’m so excited........
I think you will absolutely love it mate and will be happy you made the decision to buy one
Thanks for doing this Mike, its a stunning looking guitar, sounds great too
Thank you brother. It's a lovely guitar
I have the cr100, I've been thinking of upgrading, do you think this would be a good upgrade?
The cr100 is cool mate. What do you want to upgrade about it?
Mike, how far is the CR300 from a Gibson Les Paul Standard? Does it worth to spend 5 times the price of a Cort CR300? I love Cort as brand, my first guitar was a M520 10 years ago
No way that a Gibson is worth 4 times the cort
Bought one and it came with a gator case well impressed with it
Wow that's great value buddy
always enjoy your videos but your playing abilities to me are most impressive brother! you rock man!
Thanks brother that made my day
Great playing!
@CGS That guitar sounds like a monster! I didn't even realize EMG had pickup sets for that application. Perhaps EMG will win me back :)
They are beefy pups for sure
Great! I hope that this is not the only test, that you'll make! :)
I hope so too!
You sure can make that Cort sing. Great demo!
I love my Cort CR 200 GT. She looks harmless and lovely but is also a real monster. The CR 300 Aktiv is an interesting guitar but I don't like the outfit.
Cort make Harley Bentons , so no surprise it's good !
😊👍
Never played a Cort looks like a Gibson to me, like the shape and color.
Great seeing you playing,thanks for the info,never played one,so this is great,didnt catch the price point
499 mate
Very close but no infringements
Hi Mike its a nice guitar I liked the mid gain sounds I think Cort have given people something a bit different with the active pickups with vintage type tones I would def like to try one out and really experiment with the volume and tone controls thanks mate!
My CR 200 probably has better bridge sound but then that's me playing live. I absolutely dig the CR series !
Great guitars
Sounded great! Who knew your other 4 brothers could play so well 🤣 The only thing I don’t like on the Cort is the cutaway. It just looks a bit weird to me. BUT, I got past the weird horn on my Agile so I can get on with this one too I’d guess. If it’s fit and finish and playability is as good as the looks,it appears to be a fine instrument.

Yes it is a very well appointed and set up axe mate 😊🙏👍
I think the finish is great. I really don't know if ide like the emgs , but it looks & sounds killer. Love the show per usual keep up the great work bud.
Cheers buddy
If the Gibson Les Paul has a rating of 10, what rating would you give the Cort?
I am actually just looking at Cort CR250, more for the look (the EMG pickup looks a little weird on a les paul). Your video made me considering the CR300, imo it looks way better in your video than in the cort website photos. What do you think would be the benefit of CR300 over CR250?

Just lovely all around.
Thanks brother
Great job ,, such a talent 👍👍
Who... where...😆
Cort cr300 avtive pickups vs Esp ltd 256... which ones better 🤔
I've not tried the esp so I can't comment, sorry. Somebody hopeful might though buddy.
I can say that I own two REAL Gibson Les Pauls, but if I didn't, I would definitely consider one of these!
Very good playing and a good review, BTW.
Thanks very much buddy
hey dude good video, I want to buy this guitar but i am concerned about can it do high gain tones like death or thrash metal?
Thanx mate. Yes the active emg pups on it are pretty high output and you can always throw some higher outputs in.
@@Chinaguitarsceptic thanks for helping me out mate
You are most welcome my friend
Sounds good is it a 22 fret or a 24 ?
22 mate
Clene ton is very good.
sound great :)
very nice job !!
Nice!
Between this and epiphone les paul custom, which one got the best tone? thanks!
Tricky and close, but I'm going with this.
@@Chinaguitarsceptic thank you sir!
@@fescoversongchannel230 you're welcome my friend
Hi Mike. How much does the guitar weigh please? Cheers!
From memory between 7 and 8 lbs I think
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Thanks. So much lighter than a Les Paul. Why would that be do you think? I've also been looking at an Epiphone LP Classic Worn as I prefer satin necks, but Gear4Music says their one weights almost 12.5 lbs!!! 😱
@@Graham_Reeves wow. They clearly vary a lot
shall i get cort cr250 or cr300..am looking for a good sound quality and one time investment
I tried the 300 and loved it
Hi, what's the body thickness on this?? is it 2 inches like the vintage v100? Really confused between them both!
From memory I think it was. Did I not say in the video?
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Oh thanks! You mentioned it to be thicker than the Chibson in your chibson killer video but not the exact thickness but you specified for the Vintage v100 as 2inches. Btw personally which one did you prefer the feel of Cort or Vintage! Thanks!
I'm gonna say cort bro
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Awesome! Thanks alot for the help and the detailed reviews!!
You're most welcome my friend
how can you compare this to a Epiphone??
I would say I prefer this
Does this guitar have maple cap under the veneer?
Yes
Hoping for gold top or cherry burst. Cort come on.
Oh sounds lovely
Bravo
Weight? Neck profile?
thx to you i just bought this guitar yesterday and a boss katana amp the sound is really good you are right tho it is a little bit hard to get the clean sound but with the boss katana i can just plug it into the boss tone studio ngl for the price i think this is a very good guitar
So pleased you got a rig that you like mate. I'm jealous, I'd love to try a katana too!
👍👍👍
can whammy bar be used on les paul?
If you install one.
very beutifull guitar
It is
I bought Cort cr300, I love les Paul model, I've just heard another Les Paul, 'string', I heard the second one has less brilliant, stronger than Cr 300, even 'string' is cheaper than Cort CR 300.
So I wanna my Cort CR 300 sounds more fat, aggressive maybe.
It's a great guitar
clean doesnt mean chorus !
Not for the same money as an Epiphone....
I'm gonna say worth every penny mate
It cost around 300 USD and a standard Epiphone LP around 450 USD here in India. So definitely I would always go for Cort CR300. 🙏
dude, clean sound should be turned on without reverb.. this way it’s not possible to evaluate the sustain..
