is the Cort CR250 similar sound wise to a Gibson Historic Murphy aged 59 reissue ?

[Dr. Green]

so in other words is the Cort cr250 extremely similar in tone when played thru a simple tube amp such as a tweed champ with no effects added ?

(I am only interested in how it compares to a 2013 or later historic with custombuckers and hide glue )

one other comparison is how it stacks up against an Eastman 59 V if anyone has done a shootout

It would be nice if it sounded the same...especially since it's probably a $250 guitar!

According to some… It will sound better.

its a five to six hundred dollar guitar - its a super duper deluxe version

some say its the "cats ass "

...being a Les Paul copy, it is bound to have a similar sound.

How close, better or worse? Cat's Ass / Rat's Ass

 

[Dr. Green]

that sounds absolutely outstanding - I may buy one

I never buy new guitars so I don't think of the price in those terms.
If I bought one, it would probably be $250.
Cort seems to be upping their game.
I recently hung out with a Berklee grad, and when he opened his case I was surprised to see a 335-style Cort.
It wasn't set up anywhere near to my liking, but it played and sounded quite nice.

Cor-Tek builds the 'SE' line for PRS. Very well executed.
