New old guitar day!

[JackBootedThug]

My good bro from high school stopped by and and gave me this- it is a 1971 cort. That’s all I know. Will be receiving yjm furies…. Anyone know what it is or anything about it?

 

[VonBonfire]

Very cool. What's even cooler is Carlos Santana makes a boot that would pair with that axe nicely.

 

[JackBootedThug]

Pimp hat, smokers jacket, ultimate Neo soul rig….

Purple pinstripe is more me tho'

I was thinking more along the lines of one of those Elton John-eque smoking jackets James Hetfield is fond of.

Zoot Suits in bright colors are good for all occasions. except backyard BBQs, and fishing.

I dislike french fashion.

Identical to my first guitar. Mine was a total turd but did come with a new in box 70's Big Muff that was epic. Same color and same fake dyed fingerboard.

1930s Harlem jazz fashion. nothing French here.

Three piece suits are french fashion. The zoot suit is just an American take on it. Damn it I hate suits.

70s 3-piece for you:

Lol, let's run around the bay area in 90 degree summer heat. Might make sense there at night but you'll still look like a prick in the meantime and probably emit an odor similar to an open mayonaisse jar in the sun.

I want to tune that guitar up and play Nirvana riffs on it so bad

 

[VonBonfire]

I want to love that guitar but Henry Garza plays strats

That was kind of my first thought also.

 

[Devin]

It has the same bridge and tailpiece as the piece of shit Harmony I had for my first electric guitar

That Harmony also had two single coils but neither of them were angled like that

Keep in mind that while you may have negative feelings for that particular guitar, Carlos also wasn't handmaking kimgly shoes back then so you also lacked the closet full of sole-ful tone enhancers you have now.
