@@markpell8979 Yup! I have an SE 24 08, a Laguna, and a heavily modified Squire. All three are Corts, and all three have incredible build quality and are excellent instruments.

Are you sure Cort makes D'Angelico? I was under the impression it was Samick who also make Guild, which are very much in the D'Angelico style.

@@kingstumble No. I believe D'Angelico, the imports, are built at World Manufacturing in Korea. I have one of those. A single cut New Yorker with a Bigsby. Its BEAUTIFUL!. Thats the factory where the import Schecter's are made. I have one of those as well. Its a Helraiser Hybrid, black trans over quilt, carbon fiber binding, Floyd, Sustaniac, EMG its an awsome guitar!

@@stevenpipes1555 Some models were built in Korea but now the majority, if not all , the Premier Series are now built in Indonesia. I have had two--and recently bought a Premier Mini DC. Both had a Made In Indonesia label on the rear of the headstock. I think they are great value. And now I fancy one of these new ones with the Supro pickups!

I have had the Premier SS for 2 or 3 years, it is a great guitar. The body is just slightly smaller than traditional semi hollows and is comfortable to play. BTW, large potentiometers of crappy quality are not better than small ones of good quality. Open up a Marshall amp, they are all small pots, and work fine for many years. I don't understand the fixation against small pots.

The difference in pots these days is more about endurance. The small pots wear out quicker. The small ones can often last years. the big ones can even last decades. These days half the guitars are resold before a pot wears out. Considering the difference in price though many companies are going back to bigger ones as it is a good selling feature and easier than educating the players. Since it is easy and cheap to clean your pots without even doing more than pulling the knobs off the smart player can grab a can of spray cleaner lube and even just once a year keep the pots going indefinitely. A set of 4 good pots equal to what is put into a MIA guitar is only $30.00 USD so they can hardly be called pricy. Yes you can pay as much each but unless you are moving your pots as you play every tune better are not overly needed. An old MIA guitar has the equivalent of the 4 for $30 type and some are still in use. They often are gummed up by tobacco smoke, lol. not a problem these days.

I've read that older ones have plastic nuts (haven't gotten mine yet), newer have NuBone. Also, the tuners look different. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!
