Way back in 1978 I paid $325 for a new black Cortez Les Paul copy at the music shop in the Brementown Mini Mall in Tinley Park IL. I traded it for an Ibanez LP copy a few years back. I still have some picture of it if you need it for reference.

I found my Cortez thru a mutual friend. I ended up with it through some trading, and went right to work on it. It has a little belly swell from several years of being strung with mediums. A few small nicks in the lower belly and wear in the fingerboard in the second thru fifth fret from fingernail impression. This is an indication that it is at least 25 or more years of age. It is fully lined and has really nice blocks of either Mother-of-Pearl or Abilone all up and down the fretboard. Same with the perfling and also around the soundhole. I am restoring it as carefully as I can and hope it becomes my favorite player. All the research I have been able to find, indicates that it is indeed a valuable instrument, so that made me happy with the trade.

It is a 6 string, made in mexico, (I think,) steel strings, and I bought it new in 1975 for $85.00 It says "Cortez" inlaid in the headstock, and I would not sell mine for $1000. That probably won't help, but at least you know that there are others out there.

I just started playing- I have a Cortez 12 string acoustic guitar- it's my dad's. Some guy owed him money and didn't have it so he asked if my dad wanted his guitar. It's quite old- we've had it as long as I can remember so it's probably over 20 years old. It sounds great, although not when I play it :)

Don't know about a price . I'll like to know what you find out. I have a 6 string cortez I bought used in the early 70's used. Had some finish cracks on the front . All I know about these guitars is that they are the forerunner of Cort Guitars. Or so I was told.

I had a Cortez les paul copy I bought in the mid 70's. I traded it in last year on a differetn guitar. I got $250 in trade. and thats about what I payed for it. The guy was real happy to make the deal, that makes me think i asked for too little. I cant find any information on the guitar, so its hard to put a value on it. good luck
