    Anyone know anything about CORT guitars and specifically
    the PRO (PRS copy) model?

    Cort is the name of an importer who has been bringing inexpensive
    guitars from Korea into the US for a number of years.  Their best known
    models were the Steinberger clones they sold in the late eighties.  
    
    I've seen pix of the new Pro line and it looks like they are trying to
    work into the intermediate price range with them.

    I picked up a used PRO model at a very nice price. It's a PRS
    look-a-like with an amber stained maple archtop over a set neck
    mahogony neck and body. Two humbuckers (cheap/need replacing), three
    position slide switch, tone and volume control, and a coil splitter.
    The guitar was in flawless condition. All in all I'm very pleased.
    You can by a reasonable (never mind it's pedigree) guitar for
    under 300$.
