Korean cort bass guitar 1980s
They used these pu's until 1978 later on the quality dropped again The most set neck hondo's are good qualtiy guitars the cheapo strat clones are the worst, i owned some terrible ones but the lp clones are not that bad at leats the used pu's are great, di marzio's. This a matsumoku made one and a good one, mahogany body, set neck and MMK smoothcrash pu's. So philipine now you know who really build your longhorns, a shame there is no tokai name on them, that would increases the value. Than you never had one set up properly, the first hondo's were almost all wallhangers that's true, when the name changed to hondo II the guitars were getting better, even some models were made at matsumoku and tokai, the danelectro longhorn copy was made by tokai. Hmmmm, Hondo were solid yes.but playable?.pleasant to own.NO. Hope this helped sorry i dont have a picture right now of it and the guitar itself is at my parents house a few miles away (its my sit around with dad and play guitar and sing songs guitar)

as for other cort models havent played any. Hardware is gold (speaks for the problem all by itself) and the gold has rubbed off. The finish is a thick poly (some care I do not, I like poly better). The top is not a 10 top but it is an attractive looking quilt (thats about a 1/2 thick not a veneer or photoflame). There are some very minor detail "flaws" if you care. The neck on this guitar feels awesome its wide and beefy but the back is allittle flatter then a LP making it really comfortable as far as feel goes.

Covers alot of ground and sounds like either a SG with allittle more bottom end and covers telecaster ground really well (using coil tap). The pickups although mighty-mite are really good sounding and useable.
