I just read a long article about the people who were responsible for Cortez {Cort} guitars coming to the U.S. They say that none were made in Korea they all were made in Japan!

Hello there was just wondering if you have ever had any evaluation of these guitars? I have the same model as Daniel in NJ which he posted up for offers.

Hey, Michael…

I don’t know if you check this blog entry or respond, but if you do can you tell me what the inlay is like over the forarm contour? Are the mother of pearl pieces simply bent and glued down? I’m actually considering inlaying a dragon on a strat somewhat like this, but I can’t find any information online about the angle being a problem with inlay work.

OMG! in ’87 I bought an Explorer Guitar EXACTLY THE SAME as this one that I paid $125 for NEW at a the Union Marketplace in Union NJ and the next day when I went back the Owner of the Guitar booth told me he sold me the Guitar for the wrong price and it should have been $425!
Needless to say Too Bad!
I have been more of a Collector than a Player and this Solid Body Lotus Explorer has sat in its case since ’87 bein played maybe 3 or 4 times and though the case has marks from storage I still have the wrench and Allen Wrench that came with it!
I Never Knew that only 50 were made and the reason I never could find another was because of the high cost to import them!
I’m open to Offers on this PRISTINE ’87 Dragon Inlay Lotus (Cort) Guitar Serial #854657 email: danielinnj@yahoo.com
