Operational since 1992.Ĭurrent guitar production capacity 35000 guitars a month(420000 a year). Samick, in Cileungsi near Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Reportedly Cort produces roughly 1 Million guitars a year, between their Korean, Chinese and Indonesian factories.īeside their own Cort branded guitars PT Cort manufactures for Ibanez, Fender/Squier(includes amps), G&L, Gretsch, Laguna, Avalon/Lowden, Music Man, Schecter, Lakland, Strandberg, EVH, Chapman and Jackson among others. Operational since 1995.Īrguably the biggest of the 3(or quite possibly in the world, together with Fender and Gibson). Cort(or Cor-Tek) located in Ngoro, Mojokerto, near Surabaya, East Java. So I thought I’d outline the big three, incidentally all Korean owned. What I mainly would like for this thread, is people to start realising these guitars are made by different factories, owned by different companies. (I think this thread is not the time or place to offer my personal opinion on this, but rest assured, there will be one) Inevitably the question arises if they are any good, and comparisons are drawn with their Chinese and Korean counter parts, usually with a generous helping of sweeping generalisations. Over the last 10-15 years you may have noticed an increase of guitars labeled “Made in Indonesia”.
