Cort GB Short Scale Bass, Yellow Crush

Cort is a renowned South Korean brand that has grown to become one of the largest guitar manufacturers in the world. Founded by Young H. Park in the 1960s, the company originally operated as a business entity known as Soocho Industrial, later evolving into Cor-Tek Corporation. The Cort brand itself was officially launched in the early 1980s, focusing on delivering high-quality musical instruments at accessible price points.

The GB Short Scale Bass in Yellow Crush is a prime example of Cort's modern manufacturing capabilities. While the brand is South Korean, the vast majority of its contemporary production, including the GB series, takes place in its state-of-the-art facilities in Indonesia and China. Cor-Tek Corporation also serves as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for several other legendary guitar brands, cementing its position as a central pillar of the global music industry. Ownership remains with the founding family via Cor-Tek, maintaining its independent heritage while operating on a massive global scale.
