"OPMY" stands for "Open Pore Mustard Yellow," which sounds like some kind of killer skin ailment, but actually, it looks great on this guitar...

I wasn't aware of this model. It's a ruggedly handsome instrument, with those inlays adding a touch of Deco elegance. Assuming it sounds as good as it looks, Cort hit it out of the park with this one.
It's a bolt on, correct?
Is it still in production?
Where did you get this one?

Yeah, they're a cool "hand me down" from the original Cort Sunset I -- a larger, Gretsch-like semi-hollow that came stock with TV Jones pickups -- which hit the market now over a decade ago!

Thanks, it covers a nice combo of ground which I was missing since having moved this baby on...
In all candor, though -- and I'm aware that the following words may be considered heresy 'round these parts -- I prefer the Cort.

Traditional 4-bolt neck joint akin to yer typical Fender-style axe, yes.toomanycats wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 5:54 am I wasn't aware of this model.

Very much in production at the moment, as this is the latest iteration of the Sunset Series solidbodies, which -- to my eye, anyway -- is a vast improvement, styling-wise, over the model as it was previously offered (and which I, personally, never ever would have gone for)...
Here's are stock photos of the other finish currently available (along with the beautifully redesigned pickguard), "OPBR," for "Open Pore Burgundy Red" -- you can also see the neck joint (in the second pic)...
Unfortunately, these new ones are not on offer in North American retail markets, but if you search "Cort Sunset TC" worldwide on the "usual suspects" online auction, resale, and new product platforms, you'll have your choice from dealers and/or individuals overseas. I was very, and unexpectedly, fortunate to have found mine -- an uncommonly straight-grained example of the ash body wood on this model -- offered for sale online by a private party in the UK for what IMO was an unreal price, which made me unable to resist. YMMV, of course, but best of luck in the hunt!
